Aelius Alternative 2026
Newcastle-based multi-venue music festival Aelius Alternative makes its third return on Saturday the 18th of April at Head of Steam, The Globe, and Mosaic Tap.
Over the past two years, Aelius Alternative has supported over 160 creatives, worked with over 35 partners, and helped celebrate 6 grassroots music venues. Over 300 people attended the festival last year and with a great and dedicated team of content creators and local press we are gearing up for our third edition. We are again working with national organisation Tonic Music for Mental Health, local music academy NAME, Scottish gig swap platform Off Axis, and management agency Night Owl Promotions!
Line-up will be announced soon.
