What's on

Lost Minds Festival takes over Exhibition Park on Saturday, 11 July 2026, running from 11:00 until late (23:00). As the name suggests, this is an electronic dance music event—the kind where you'll find plenty of techno, house, and bass-heavy sets keeping the crowd moving from morning until night.

The vibe

Exhibition Park provides a proper festival setting right in the heart of Newcastle, and Lost Minds has built a reputation for delivering solid electronic lineups without the pretension. Expect a mixed crowd of serious clubbers, festival regulars, and anyone who fancies a day of proper dancing. It's the kind of event where you show up ready to move and leave absolutely knackered.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available through Skiddle. Pricing details and any tier information should be checked directly on the event listing. Being an 18+ event, you'll need valid ID on the day.

Where to stay

Newcastle city centre is just a short journey from Exhibition Park, and we've picked out some solid hotel options nearby below so you're not stuck with a long trek home after a full day of dancing.

Getting there

Exhibition Park is accessible from across the North. If you're coming by train, Newcastle Central is the main hub—the park is roughly a 20-minute walk or short taxi ride away. By car, there's parking available at the venue itself. Coming from Manchester? About 90 minutes by train. From Leeds, expect similar travel time. London is around 3 hours by rail if you're making a proper weekend of it.
