Ayclive Music Festival is fast becoming one of the biggest and brightest highlights in the Newton Aycliffe calendar. What started as a local celebration of live music and community spirit has quickly grown into a much-anticipated annual event that draws in festivalgoers from near and far.
The Ayclive CIC team are already hard at work behind the scenes, preparing to make Ayclive 2026 our biggest and best festival yet. We’re thrilled to announce that next year’s festival will take place on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July 2026 at the OakLeaf Sports Complex – and trust us, you’re going to want to be there.
If you attended this year’s festival, you’ll already know just how special it was. From incredible live performances and fantastic food and drink, to the unbeatable atmosphere created by the throng of happy festivalgoers, it was a weekend to remember. The feedback has been overwhelming, and we are determined to keep building on this success. That means even bigger names, even more entertainment, and an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
But, before we reveal too much about what’s in store for 2026, we’re giving our loyal supporters and early, early birds a chance to secure their place at the best possible price. To get the ball rolling, we have launched our exclusive ‘Got The Worm’ offer – a limited batch of early tickets for both Friday and Saturday at prices you simply won’t believe.
These tickets won’t last long. Once they’re gone, they’re gone – and with the buzz already building for Ayclive 2026, we expect them to sell quickly. If you know you’ll be there (and why wouldn’t you?), this is your chance to lock in a weekend of incredible live music, entertainment and community spirit for a fraction of the usual cost.
Don’t miss out – visit www.ayclive.co.uk now to grab your ‘Got The Worm’ tickets before they sell out.
Join us as we make history once again and continue to grow Newton Aycliffe’s very own music festival. Ayclive 2026 promises to be the most exciting year yet – and we can’t wait to see you there!
