By Bristol24/7  Sunday Jun 29, 2025

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:
