Ayclive 2026 is Newton Aycliffe’s community-led music festival, dedicated to delivering a high-energy, family-friendly experience at unbeatable value. Operated as a Community Interest Company, we bring the County Durham together for a massive weekend of live music. Our Friday lineup transforms the Big Tent into a non-stop party featuring 80s and 90s madness, powerhouse rock sets, and high-energy mash-ups. Saturday is the festival's crowning moment, delivering 11 hours of non-stop entertainment headlined by million-selling indie-pop icons The Hoosiers, followed by an incredible mix of high-octane party hits, authentic Motown soul, stadium-sized rock anthems and more. With dedicated family fun zones and a commitment to supporting local causes, Ayclive is more than just a festival, it’s the ultimate celebration of community spirit and world-class entertainment in the heart of the North East.
