About Shiiine On Weekender
Butlins Minehead Resort, Minehead, is the setting for Shiiine On Weekender 2026, an all-indoor indie and dance music weekender. The Minehead edition is in its 11th year, with the event dating back to 2015.
The format is resort-based rather than a field build. Accommodation is bundled into every ticket, stages start at 11am, and the official site describes Minehead 2026 as sold out.

The 2026 bill runs to 80 acts over 5 stages. Announced acts include Happy Mondays, The Wonder Stuff, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Pop Will Eat Itself and Feeder.
The named stages are Main Stage, Shiiine On: Rave On, An afternoon wiiith Jim Bob!, Comedy Stage and Shiiine On Unplugged. The programme takes in indie, dance, electronic and rave programming.
Beyond the band bill, the weekend includes late-night DJ sets, a pool party, in-conversation sessions and DJ sets from guests such as Dave Rowntree, quiz and bingo sessions, acoustic sets, comedy performance, exhibitions and live shows.
Who Is It For?
The audience is adults 18+ looking for an all-indoor indie and dance nostalgia weekend, especially fans of 1990s and 2000s acts. Photo ID is required on arrival.
It is not a family festival. The event is strictly 18+.

Resort facilities include Splash Waterworld, bars, restaurants and cafés, arcades, ATMs, a fairground, free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking.
