The Ayclive Festival kicked off in 2023 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the town itself. Drawing crowds in the thousands, families and music fans hauled deck chairs and snacks across the field to get comfortable for the 11-hour event. Headlining were popular 90s bands Cast, Dodgy, and rockers Sound Divide whipping the crowd into a frenzy with covers of Kate Bush and Blondie. Local group Another Crisis also performed alongside The Breakfast Club, Sleeze Sisters, Gangsters of Ska and Northern Soul Elite.
