Celebrities coming to Bristol including Elton John, Paolo Nutini and Busta Rhymes

Summer has started and the best of Bristol's events are in full swing. The buzz that so many have missed has certainly returned.

And a huge host of events coming back with a bang means that some of the biggest celebrities are on the line-ups. Stars from all over will be taking to the city ready to perform.

From Pride and Bristol Comedy Garden to six days of events by Bristol Sounds, the city is set to host brilliant performances - and if you're lucky, you might cross paths with some of these big names during their stint in Bristol. We saw David Tennant and Catherine Tate earlier this week as they filmed for Dr Who.

Even if you're not attending these shows, the acts might be out and about in Bristol taking in the sights or enjoying a meal - here are some of the other stars you may spot this summer:

Bristol Comedy Garden is currently bringing some of the funniest folk around to Bristol for a weekend of laughter and fun. Some of the very best comedians including Netflix star James Acaster, Qi’s Alan Davies, This Way Up’s Aisling Bea, and the Mash Report’s Nish Kumar are amongst a hugely hilarious line-up that you can find in Bristol.
