Less than a month to go until Pavilion Festival takes over the May bank holiday weekend by the Ayrshire seaside, featuring global DJs Carl Cox, Ewan McVicar, Sasha & Digweed, Leftfield and more. Organisers have unveiled a special ticket offer on final tickets, plus a first look at the 2026 on-site activations set to enhance the experience for music lovers.

To celebrate the countdown, fans can now get four tickets for the price of three on the festival’s final remaining tickets until Sunday, 19 April via Skiddle.

New for 2026 is an exciting brand partnership with Buckfast; festival goers will be able to discover a customer shipping container wrapped in Bucky tartan, exclusively for Pavilion Festival 2026. The space will operate both days and offers guests a chance to play games, get one of three temporary tattoos, or simply take a moment to chill out and recharge between sets.

There will also be a fun merch station where guests can score free stuff by turning in an empty cup for recycling. Everything from hats, sunglasses, beach balls, and bracelets to a few surprises will be available while stocks last.

Lab54, one of the UK’s leading events promoters, is also set to take over the Pavilion Arms stage, bringing its renowned  “Anywhere But A Club” concept to Pavilion Festival. Designed as a one-of-a-kind house-party-meets-pub experience, the exclusive takeover and new stage promises a high-energy setting unlike anything else on site, with the lineup to be revealed very soon.

Founded in 2023 by Joe Gordon, Lab54 hosts high-energy, immersive parties in locations such as houses, hotel rooms, arcades, and on yachts.

Pavilion Festival will also welcome back its Big Top for 2026, bigger than ever and fully weatherproof, giving ticket holders a covered space to drink, dance and enjoy the atmosphere whatever the Scottish weather has in store.

Final tickets now remaining. Day tickets start from £54.60 +bf

Group, day and full weekend tickets are now on sale. https://www.skiddle.com/festivals/pavilion-festival/
