It is with a heavy heart that Newstead Live organisers announced the cancellation of the 2026 festival earlier this week. Given the forecast of very high temperatures over the entire weekend, the team has decided not to take the risk presented by the heat.
“We want to keep both our festival community and our Newstead community safe, and ensure that we are back in 2027,” a spokesperson said.
NOTE: Ticket holders will receive information via email about refunds, which will be processed in the next day or two
