Kaiser Chiefs headline Good Times Live in Bristol

Kaiser Chiefs are bringing the indie-rock goods to Bristol this May. If you fancy a proper night out with a stellar line-up and none of the festival field nonsense, this is it.

What's on

Friday 28 May sees Kaiser Chiefs headline Good Times At The Ridings in Chipping Sodbury, just outside Bristol. They're bringing Lottery Winners and The Ramona Flowers along for the ride. Doors open at 6 p.m., with proceedings wrapping up around 11 p.m.

The vibe

Think intimate-ish outdoor venue vibes rather than sprawling festival chaos. Kaiser Chiefs will dust off the classics—"I Predict a Riot", "Oh My God", "Ruby"—whilst the support acts warm things up nicely. It's the sort of evening where you can actually move about, grab a drink, and not lose your mates in a crowd of twenty thousand.

Getting tickets

Ticket pricing and availability aren't fixed here, so check the usual suspects for current rates and deals. Early-bird options often pop up for these sorts of shows, so worth keeping an eye out if you're keen.
