Lost Minds Festival – Newcastle Upon Tyne

If your idea of a perfect festival weekend involves lasers, huge drops and dancing for approximately 12 straight hours, Lost Minds needs to be on your radar. Returning to Exhibition Park in July for its fifth anniversary, the Newcastle dance festival has become one of the biggest electronic music events in the North East, bringing together massive DJs, immersive stage production and a crowd that fully commits to the rave aesthetic. 

This year’s line-up is stacked, with names including Oliver Heldens, Holy Priest, Billy Gillies, Lilly Palmer, Darren Styles and Dash Berlin already announced. Add in five stages, afterparties, street food, surprise installations and thousands of people in glitter and sunglasses regardless of the weather, and it’s basically Exhibition Park’s most chaotic (and fun) day of the year.
