Bang Face Weekender (Skegness, United Kingdom) 2026

Bang Face Weekender returns to Butlin’s in Skegness from 13 to 16 November 2026, four days of the hardcore, breakcore and rave festival that has made the resort its own since 2010. The 2026 edition runs a horror theme, announced by the organisers with their usual restraint as a promise to bang your face apart.

The Weekender is unlike anything else in British dance music. The crowd, known collectively as the Bang Face Hard Crew, build and wear their own masks, the programme runs multiple stages through the night into the morning, and the booking covers breakcore, hardcore, gabber, jungle, acid and the parts of rave history nobody else programmes. The organisers publish official highlights films for each edition, and a separate boat party ran in September 2026 and sold out.

Accommodation is part of the ticket and the resort was down to its final five per cent of rooms when the first acts were announced, which is normal for this event: it sells on reputation rather than line up. Tickets go through the festival’s own box office. Butlin’s Skegness sits on the Lincolnshire coast, around two hours from Nottingham and three from London by road. For a British music festival with no interest in respectability, this is the one.
