Ashton Gate announces it will stage BS3 festival in 2025

BS3 Live - Bristol’s first one-day stadium music festival - is set to return again next year, bosses at Ashton Gate have confirmed. Venue director Jenny Hutchinson has confirmed that the ‘Ashton Gate Presents BS3’ event, which took place on June 22 this year, will return in 2025.

There is currently no word yet on who will be performing at next year's event. The event in June saw Ne-Yo, Craig David, Jess Glynne and Dizzee Rascal among ten acts performing on two stages on the pitch at Ashton Gate in front of thousands in the crowd.

Now, Ashton Gate has confirmed that the BS3 festival will be one of up to five live music concert events to be held at the stadium in the summer of 2025 - and next year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 21.
