Who’s on when
Want to know exactly when your favourite act hits the stage? The full timetable for every stage lives on its own page.
Stage times drop closer to the day. Sign up there and we’ll email you the moment they’re out.
The big one. Headline sets, huge choruses, and the whole field singing along.
Opening night under the big tent.
Stripped-back sets, acoustic anthems, and intimate performances all afternoon.
Little-ones HQ: kids’ acts, games, and non-stop entertainment for tiny ravers.
Good to know
A few house rules to keep the day running smoothly and everyone safe.
Security bag searches are in place at the main gates and on re-entry for everyone’s safety. Pack light to whizz through checks! Food can be brought into the festival, but please remember that no alcohol or unopened drinks are permitted through security.
You’ll exchange your e-ticket for an official AycLive wristband at the main entrance gates upon arrival. Keep it intact and on your wrist all day, it’s your pass back in if you step out before re-entry closes at 9:30pm!
Lost an item or found something that isn’t yours? Our helpful team members will be on hand all day across the field, and there’ll be a clearly marked Lost Items Point on site. If you notice something missing after the weekend, just drop us a line at hello@ayclive.co.uk!
Yes! Keep your official wristband on and you can pop out and back in as you please. Re-entry closes at 9:30pm on both days, and standard bag searches apply every time you return.
Closer to the day. Sign up on the stage times page and we’ll email you as soon as they’re out.
Your tickets are sent automatically to your email as soon as your booking is confirmed, complete with a button to add them straight to your Apple Wallet. If they haven’t landed, pop an email to hello@ayclive.co.uk.
