Ultimate Power Brings Its Christmas Special to Wylam Brewery

Ultimate Power at Wylam Brewery arrives on Saturday 12 December 2026 for a Christmas Special built around five hours of full-volume power ballads. The Newcastle event runs from 4pm until 9pm, with Wylam listing it as an 18+ all-standing show. That early start makes this less of a late club night and more of an entire December afternoon handed over to huge choruses and shameless singalongs.

Ultimate Power has always understood that these songs work best when nobody treats them quietly. The club night is devoted to the kind of records designed for raised fists, air guitars and choruses that a whole room can pick up at once. Phil Collins, Bonnie Tyler, Bon Jovi and Meat Loaf sit naturally in that world, but the attraction is the shared mood rather than any single artist.

Ultimate Power at Wylam Brewery turns Saturday afternoon up

The 4pm start gives the Christmas edition a different rhythm from most festive club nights. There is no long wait for the dancefloor to get going, and the official ticket listing has the session running through to 9pm. For anyone with a busy December calendar, that means a proper night-out level of noise without necessarily losing the small hours as well.

Wylam’s Grand Hall should suit the format. Power ballads need space for the crowd to become part of the soundtrack, and the Palace of Arts can deliver that big communal feel without losing the sense that everyone is in one room together. The all-standing setup also keeps the focus firmly on dancing rather than watching from a distance.

The event is 18+ and Wylam lists doors for 4pm. Ultimate Power’s own ticket site gives the Newcastle Christmas session as 4pm to 9pm. Tickets are available through the official Ultimate Power ticket page, and it is worth checking the ticket and venue channels again before travelling in case entry information changes.

There are plenty of Christmas parties built around background music and polite drinks. This one is aiming somewhere else entirely. Ultimate Power takes the songs people usually save for the final hour of a night out and gives them five straight hours in the spotlight, which should make Wylam one of the loudest places in Exhibition Park that Saturday.
