Newday's stated vision is to play a role in stopping the drift away from God in young people's lives.[4][5] This includes performing voluntary community work during the festival period, worshipping God through music, preachers and prayers.[6][7]
The first Newday event in 2004 was held at Newark showground, Lincolnshire and was attended by about 3500.[8] It was interrupted by torrential rainfall flooding the camp site causing many young people to be evacuated into nearby schools and leisure centres.[9]
The 2005 event moved to Notts County Stadium, Nottingham, with an attendance of about 5000.[10] The 2006 event was at Uttoxeter Racecourse, Staffordshire, attended by nearly 6000.[11][12] In 2009, it moved to Norfolk Showground, Norwich, with approximately 7000 people in attendance.[13]
In 2020 and 2021, the event moved online due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
During each festival, a live album is recorded and released.
