Mucky Weekender Music Festival Fri 9th and Sat 10th September 2022 An Indian summer, Ibizan Vibes and Amazing Music! Mucky Weekender Music festival - curated by Dub Pistols’ legendary frontman BarryAshworth – returns for its second year this September, to a stunning new location set within 28 acres of private parkland near Winchester. The festival is named after one of Dub Pistols’ biggest and best selling singles, Mucky Weekend. Theband decided to create and host their own festival in 2019, using it as a way to connect with their fans, The Pistolero family, and showcase both established and new musical artists over the two days. Barry Ashworth says, “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 are full of love. It’s the kind of festival you could go to alone and leave with 1000 new friends. We are really excited to host this event and can’t wait to put a smile back on peoples’ faces”. World class DJs and live performers have been carefully curated to maximise the party vibe, with some of the best music, past, present and future. Stages will feature House Icon Robert Owens & X-Press 2,The Prodigy’s Leeroy Thornhill, Krafty Kuts brings his King Of The Beats project with Freestylers & Plump Djs, The Clash/BAD’s Don Letts and many more. The main stage has live performances from festival hosts Dub Pistols, Dreadzone, Hollie Cook, The Hempolics, Eva Lazarus & many more including stage takeovers from Jungle Cakes Ed Solo, Deekline & Benny page, Faith Fanzine feat Terry Farley & Co & Modcast takeover Feat Eddie Piller, Rocky, Dean Thatcher & Wendy may The new site in Winchester could not be more beautiful, set in 28 acres of private parkland and stunning countryside. Says Barry, ‘our ethos is very much one of ‘leave no trace’, and judging by our first year it’s an ethos the crowd fully embrace too. Our last site was left cleaner on departure than when we entered it.’ Whilst soaking up the atmosphere Mucky Weekenders will also be treated to an array of street performers, including magic, comedy and an extra special art installation nestled in the woods called“The Shack”, created especially for the festival by Arlen Figgis, son of renowned British director Mike Figgis & 2022 latest stage addition The Pirate ship.
