Mighty Dub Fest organisers hope for limited extension of Alnwick event
The popular Mighty Dub Fest in Alnwick could be extended into a fourth day.
Organisers have submitted an application seeking to amend its licence for use of The Pastures near Alnwick Castle.
The event is scheduled from Friday to Sunday, June 19-21 but organisers are seeking permission for live and recorded music, films, and the sale of alcohol on the Thursday beforehand.
Its application states: “To open on Thursday for campers only, to reduce the overall pressure associated with opening on Friday. We would only open the acoustic area with one small bar.”
The deadline for comments on the licensing application is April 2.
The 2026 line-up features Atomic, Fu Fighters, and Oasis Jam.
Organisers have already reported a record breaking start for ticket sales but the team has made the strategic decision to cap attendance rather than expand the site. By maintaining the same capacity as previous years, organisers aim to preserve the intimate, community-focused atmosphere that has made the festival a staple for the VW community and music lovers alike.
