Noughty 90s Festival

The Noughty 90s Festival is gearing up for its 5th Anniversary next year, bringing its full-throttle celebration of 90s and 2000s music back to Brighton. The date to save is Saturday, May 23, 2026, when the festival takes over East Brighton Park (Wilson Ave. BN2 5TS). If you’ve been before, you know the energy level is high—it’s the kind of event where you’ll be on your feet all day, running from 12:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. It’s clearly designed for serious dancers, given that one previous attendee mentioned walking and dancing 17 kilometres during the day.

The lineup for this anniversary edition is packed with names that define the era, covering everything from pop-dance to classic garage. Confirmed acts include Vengaboys, East 17, Ultrabeat, and N-Trance, ensuring the main stage is full of anthems. For those leaning towards the rave and club sounds, the festival features the popular Clock Work Orange DJ area, alongside sets from artists like Grooverider, DJ Micky Finn, Phats & Small, and the garage legends DJ Luck & MC Neat, Artful Dodger, and Oxide & Neutrino. Rozalla, 3 Of A Kind, and DJ Ironik are also confirmed to appear.

A few important details to keep in mind if you decide to go: the event is strictly for those 18 and over. Logistically, you need to plan your arrival carefully, as the last entry time is 5:00 p.m., and once you leave the venue, re-entry is not permitted. Regarding tickets, there are a few options available. Loyalty Tickets start from £20 (securable with a £5 deposit), Standard entry tickets start from £35.00, and VIP access begins at £55.00. It looks set to be a massive day out for anyone wanting a serious dose of nostalgia and dance floor action.
