ALB IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THE MUSIC 👀🔥

Yes, the line-up is a pretty big deal… but there’s a whole lot more going on around Castle Park.

We’re talking activities for the kids, incredible food and drink, live wrestling, plenty to explore and good vibes EVERYWHERE.

Bring the kids. Bring your mates. Bring your appetite. Come for the music and make a whole day of it. 🎪

This is ALB. 💙

ALB FESTIVALS CHRISTMAS TAKE OVER AT TRILOGY NIGHTCLUB

We're beyond excited to announce that Gok Wan will be headlining the ALB Festival Christmas Takeover at Trilogy Colchester on Friday 18th December!

What started as a series of live streams to lift spirits during lockdown quickly grew into sold-out shows across the country, appearances at some of the UK's biggest festivals, and over one million streams of his hit single Let Me Be Your Fantasy. After absolutely storming ALB Festival in Lower Castle Park back in September, the renowned fashion guru, much-loved DJ and all-round national treasure is returning to Colchester to do it all over again!

We're taking over all 3 rooms at Trilogy with a full ALB Festival style Christmas experience. Expect incredible DJs, multiple music genres, festive surprises, Christmas party chaos, and plenty more announcements still to come in the coming weeks.

This isn't just another night out. It's one final chance to bring the ALB Festival family together before Christmas for an unforgettable night of music, laughter, festive good fun and memories that'll see us through to 2026.

**Tickets go on sale Friday 23rd October**�VIP tickets are extremely limited and expected to sell out fast

Gather your crew, dig out your Christmas gear and get ready for what could be Colchester's biggest Christmas party of the year.

SCOUTING FOR GIRLS, YOU WERE UNREAL 🔥

Saturday at ALB hit another level when Scouting For Girls took over the stage.

The singalongs, the hands in the air, the crowd energy, the little Elvis tribute in the audience… honestly, what a moment.

Castle Park, you sounded LOUD. Thank you for giving them the ALB welcome they deserved 💙
