A BOYBAND STAR has been revealed as Sophie Ellis-Bextor's guest when she takes to the stage in Yate later this year. 

The collection of events ‘Good Times on the Pitch’ will return to the festival stage at Yate Town Football Club in May.

Jools Holland, McFly & Scouting for Girls are amongst the names already announced but Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s guest star has now been revealed as Aston Merrygold of JLS.

James Murden, one of the event organisers, said: “Aston is an incredible performer with boundless energy and we know he’s got big plans for his appearance in Yate.

"He’ll be performing work from his solo career and throwback JLS tracks before Sophie Ellis-Bextor performs her headline set alongside her live band.”

“In addition to the world class live music, on Bank Holiday Monday, May 27 we’re also proud to present a huge comedy gala in the evening featuring Ed Byrne, Zoe Lyons, Troy Hawke & Cerys Nelmes plus a major headliner to be revealed later in January”

Sophie Ellis-Bextor made headlines last week after her hit single ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ re-entered the top 10 for the first time in over 20 years following it’s inclusion in the ‘Saltburn’ soundtrack

Tom Campbell, event producer said: “We’re going big on production levels and audience members can look forward to a large festival stage complete with video wall, epic light show and premium sound system”

Ticket holders can bring along camping chairs or picnic blankets are there is a large range of food and drink available to purchase at the shows.
