Introduction

Weekend at the Asylum would not be complete without a line-up of fabulous evening events and for AXV we believe we have the most exciting set of evening events to date. ​​

​

Back at the closing ceremony of Asylum XIV we announced that we Steam Powered Giraffe will be returning to play AXV and then in December 2024 we let the cat out of the bag that Abney Park will also be playing at AXV, so we have the two biggest Steampunk bands in the world, both flying over to AXV to play the same event. 

​

So what will be happening on which night at AXV?​

​

Thursday night will start with the Advanced Guard and this year musical entertainment will be provided by Captain Kuppa-T and the Zeppelin Crew.

​

On Friday you have two choices. At the Engine Shed Abney Park will be headlining our Airship Pirate Night with support from Box Set and The Captain's Beard. Also on Friday night we have our first Asylum Cyberpunk Night taking place at the County Assembly Rooms. 

​

Saturday night we have the DecoDance at the County Assembly Rooms and the Asylum Variety Show at Lincoln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC) which is next to the Engine Shed. 

​

On Sunday you will be spoiled for choice again. Time Travellers at the Engine Shed will be headlined by Steam Powered Giraffe supported by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. and Victor and the Bully. The Asylum Burlesque this uear will be taking place at the County Assembly Rooms. 

​

Finally, on Monday evening we have the Dead Dog party with music from the Wight Hot Pipes. 

​

Evening events require prebooked tickets.  Admission to the Advance Guard is restricted to those who have proof of purchase of a weekend wristband as well as a ticket to the event. Admission to the Dead Dog Party will require a festival wristband as well as a ticket to the event. All other evening events are open to those with or without wristbands although for obvious reasons (i.e. to fund the daytime content of the festival) we hope that as many as possible will buy daytime wristbands to support the event.
