Description
Mucky Weekender, a 5,000-capacity event, is scheduled to take place at Vicarage Farm in Woodmancott, nestled within 28 acres of private parkland near Winchester, this September.
Curated by Dub Pistols’ frontman Barry Ashworth, this marks the festival’s 5th year. It takes its name from one of Dub Pistols’ biggest-selling singles, "Mucky Weekend."
The decision to establish and host their own festival in 2019 stemmed from the band's desire to connect with their fans and showcase both established and emerging musical artists over the course of two days.
Barry Ashworth expressed, “Everyone’s a star at Mucky Weekender. I’m a strong believer that the crowd are just as important as the performers. Everyone has a smile on their face and is full of love. It’s the kind of festival you could go to alone and leave with 1,000 new friends. We are really excited to host this event and can’t wait to put a smile back on peoples’ faces.”
The lineup includes headliners such as The Dualers, Dutty Moonshine Big Band, Dreadzone, Congo Natty, Marshall Jefferson, and LTJ Bukem, alongside a diverse array of veteran artists, DJs, and up-and-coming talents.
Additionally, the festival promises an array of street performers, including magic, comedy, and an art installation named “The Shack,” nestled in the woods and specially created for the occasion by Arlen Figgis, son of renowned British director Mike Figgis. The new site in Winchester is described as particularly beautiful, and the festival's ethos of 'leave no trace' has been embraced by attendees, ensuring a clean departure after each year's festivities.
