Mika has been named as the final headliner for Bristol Sounds returning the harbourside this summer. The popstar, who topped the UK charts in 2007 with 'Grace Kelly', will kick off a week of live music at Lloyds Amphitheatre on June 21.
The five-night gig series traditionally falls on the same weekend as Glastonbury Festival and welcomes some of the biggest names in music. Mika has joined a star-studded line-up comprising James, The Levellers, Jacob Collier and Self Esteem.
Mika shot to fame in the 2000s and has since gone on to record four more platinum-selling studio albums - most recently My Name is Michael Holbrook released in October 2019. In 2022, the star - who speaks four languages fluently - stepped into the limelight as a host of the Eurovision Song Contest.

While Mika takes the opening slot on Wednesday (June 21), Jacob Collier will headline the following night. The 28-year-old Londoner shot to fame as a teenager on YouTube and became a Grammy award-winning multi-instrumentalist.
On the Friday, Manchester band James will take over the stage as part of their 40th-anniversary tour. The band met global success in the 1990s with hits like 'Sit Down' and 'Born Of Frustration'.
The Levellers will be top billed on the Saturday, but will also feature ska legends The Selecter, Shaun Ryder and Kermit’s Black Grape, Newport rappers Goldie Lookin’ Chain and Peat & Diesel. Bristol Sounds will be rounded off by Self Esteem, who is booked for a string of UK shows this summer.
Pre-sale tickets for Mika will go live on April 19 and general tickets will go live on April 21. To register for presale sign up to the mailing list.
