The headliners have been announced for the 3rd annual Bristol Summer Series, happening on Bristol''s Harbourside, from Wednesday 22nd until Saturday 25th June 2016 at the city's amphitheatre.

James Bay will top the bill on the first night, Sigur Ros will headline the Thursday, on midsummer's eve - Friday it's the turn of The Last Shadow Puppets featuring Miles Kane (The Rascals) and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys), and Catfish & The Bottlemen will close the event on the final night.

The line-up of support acts will be announced soon.

Bob Angus, organiser of Bristol Summer Series from Metropolis Music, said, "Bristol Summer Series is going from strength to strength, it’s exciting to be hosting concerts of two current BRIT Award winners. With his own BRIT Awards emoji, James Bay has taken England by storm with his Chaos and the Calm album debuting at No.1 on the Official Album Charts. We’re also incredibly proud to be the reason Sigur Rós returns to Bristol for the first time in nine years, with their big hits being used throughout different media productions, such as Hoppípolla. Continuing the week with The Last Shadow Puppets and finishing off with a big Saturday night party with BRIT Award winners, Catfish and the Bottlemen gives us an eclectic mix to appeal to different audiences and create a really unique concert series for the city."

Tickets are restricted to four tickets per person/per billing address. The event this year is suitable for aged 14+ years audiences only, disabled tickets will also be available.
