Alnwick's Mighty Dub Fest on track for early ticket sell-out
Organisers of Alnwick festival the Mighty Dub Fest have officially announced a record-breaking start to their 2026 season.
In an unprecedented surge of interest, ticket sales are tracking four months ahead of schedule, prompting organisers to issue an early warning to fans to secure their spots before they vanish.
As of early February, the family van-life festival, set against the iconic backdrop of Alnwick Castle, has already reached 75% capacity.
Despite the overwhelming demand, the Mighty Dub Fest 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.
“This year has been incredible. We’ve seen our ticket sales come in so much quicker unlike any year in our history,” the festival team said.
“Tickets are flying out and we can’t believe we’ll be sold out on camping tickets so soon.”
The record-breaking pace has led to a significant policy shift for the 2026 event and for the first time in the festival’s history, Saturday day tickets will be advance purchase only.
“We want to thank everyone for their continued support,” the team added. “We are truly sorry that some may miss out, but we are committed to first come, first-served fairness. We can’t wait to see everyone in the field for what is shaping up to be our biggest year yet.”
