George Ezra to headline Summer Series
George Ezra will be headlining the opening night of this year’s Bristol Summer Series, which returns for its second year to the Lloyds Amphitheatre from June 24 to 27.
Ezra will be returning to the city that has adopted him as our own alongside a stellar line-up of Kaiser Chiefs, Seasick Steve and Jessie J.
“Knowing I’m going to be a part of the Bristol Summer Series is just madness,” says the singer who not too long ago had a residency at the Gallimaufry and could soon be on his way to playing stadiums. “It’s already a highlight of my summer and it’s not even started yet.”

Following Ezra’s Wednesday night opening, Kaiser Chiefs will be headlining the Thursday night show. On Friday night the entertainment will be provided by three-string strummer Seasick Steve and songstress Jessie J will be performing for the Saturday night finale.
Bristol Summer Series launched last year with sell-out performances from Paulo Nutini and the Pogues, although a planned third night featuring 911, A1, Five, Damage, Honeyz, & B*witched was cancelled.
Promoter Conal Dodds is excited about the wide range of acts on offer at the event this year. He said: “George Ezra is one of the brightest new talents we have, has had one of the biggest UK albums in the last year, is nominated for four Brits and is currently on a sold out UK tour.
“Kaiser Chiefs have gone from strength to strength as a live act, undoubtedly helped by vocalist Ricky Wilson being on The Voice every Saturday night.
“Seasick Steve is already turning into a legend in his own lifetime – fans like Dave Grohl, Jack White and John Paul Jones can’t be wrong.
“And Jessie J has developed into one of the best vocalists the UK has ever produced.”
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, February 27 at 9am. For more information, visit www.bristolsummerseries.com.
