BACK TO THE 2000S WEEKEND 2026-2027

Remember when your iPod was your prized possession, CDs made way for music downloads, and everyone had an opinion on who should win Pop Idol? Even choosing the right ringtone for your flip phone was serious business. Simpler times? Maybe. Great soundtrack? Absolutely.

 

From pop and indie to dance and R&B, Back to the 2000s celebrates the music that shaped a generation. See original artists including Aston Merrygold, Boyzlife, Scouting for Girls, and The Wanted 2.0 live on stage, alongside top DJs playing the songs you grew up with — we’re talking Girls Aloud, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse, Calvin Harris, The Killers and more. Plus, we’ve got some of the UK’s best tribute acts paying homage to the era’s biggest icons like Pink and Coldplay. Whatever your noughties sounded like, you'll hear the tracks that take you straight back.

 

And the nostalgia doesn’t stop there. We’ve got themed activities too, such as Daytime Rave, Bottomless Brunch, Soul Stroll, Silent Discos and Pool Parties. Then on Saturday night, it’s time to look the part. Think low-rise jeans, cargo trousers, velour tracksuits and looks inspired by your favourite noughties icons. Nod to the decade or go all out — just make it Y2K.

 

So, round up your mates and get ready to do the noughties all over again. Can we get a whoop whoop?

 

BACK TO THE 2000S Y2K SCARES

 

It’ll be murder on the dancefloor at our 2000s Halloween bash. We’re resurrecting the noughties to bring you the best in pop, dance and garage music with a frightful twist! For three days, expect high-energy party vibes, plenty of hands-in-the-air moments and a ghoulishly good dose of noughties nostalgia with the best live performances and music from the decade. Get ready to rock those terrifying 2000's outfits!

 

 

HAVEN'T EVEN LEFT 00'S WEEKENDER AND ALREADY WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!

ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT

There’s more to our Big Weekenders than big-name acts and headline moments. While live performances sit at the heart of our massive weekenders, our daytime experiences add an extra dimension of fun, so you can play all day and night
