Shiiine On Big Weekender Guide
Shiiine On Weekender The Indie Bible
From the main stage headliners to the late-night indie discos. This is your definitive guide to the ultimate celebration of Indie and Dance culture.
The Weekend Ecosystem
Shiiine On isn't a "Cheesy Pop" weekender. It's a proper festival indoors. The crowd wears Pretty Green, not polyester. The vibe is serious music appreciation with a side of massive hedonism.
Skyline / Centre Stage
Where the legends play. Expect massive singalongs to Happy Mondays, Shed Seven, or Cast. Pro Tip: These venues hit capacity. If you want to see the headliner, get in 45 mins early.
Reds: The Indie Disco
When the bands finish, the rave begins. Reds hosts the late-night DJ sets—from Hacienda classics to Britpop bangers. It gets sweaty. Parkas off, t-shirts on.
Cinema & Exhibitions
Unique to Shiiine. Check out the film screenings and art exhibitions during the day. It’s the perfect way to kill time while nursing a hangover before the first pint.

Logistics: Don't Be a Rookie
The ID Situation
Butlins is strict. No ID, no entry. It doesn't matter if you saw the Stone Roses at Spike Island in '90—if you don't have a passport/license, you aren't getting in.
Splash Waterworld
Yes, there is usually a pool party. Yes, it is surreal hearing "I Am The Resurrection" while going down a flume. Bring swim shorts.
The Dining Plan
Book the Premium Dining. Trying to find food at 6 PM when 5,000 people are heading to the main stage is a nightmare. Fuel up at the buffet.
