With the hugely successful introduction of the dance arena to the festival in Herrington Country Park last year, organisers have already teased names joining the dance arena including local legend Andy Whitby and 90’s dancesuperstars QFX.

With Basshunter and Cascada headlining the dance arena for 2024, fans will also be delighted to hear of the return of Kubix favourite Ultrabeat, who will be closing the 12,000 capacity dance tent once again.

Vengaboys will also be back at Kubix Festival playing on the main stage after last playing in 2022, with The Outhere brothers and 2 Unlimited also bringing the energy to the main stage.

Organiser Alex Hutchinson said: ‘Kubix Festival has grown into the biggest festival in the North East and we are delighted that we can bring back some real Kubix favourites.

"We are also working hard behind the scenes to finalise the line up with some huge headliners and many more acts who have never played Kubix before still to be announced over the coming weeks. This is going to be our biggest and best Kubix Festival to date."

Kubix Festival 2024 has already sold over 50% of all tickets, and with the 2022 and 2023 festivals both being completely sold out well in advance of the event, customers are advised to get their tickets quickly.
