Bristol Sounds returned in June 2025 for an unforgettable series of open-air concerts set in the iconic Lloyds Amphitheatre, in the heart of Bristol’s Harbourside.
Every night from June 25 to June 29 the stage was rocked by a different headliner, from Alright singers Supergrass, to riot starters Kaiser Chiefs, with a performance from Texas guaranteed to bring out your Inner Smile, indie rockers The Fratellis, and Troublemaker Olly Murs.
Here’s a look at this years series of performances:
