Rugeley Rocks was established in 2018 to help showcase the very best of the area’s local bands whilst offering a fun, affordable and family friendly festival for Rugeley.  We aim to put the Rugeley music and events scene back on the map! The festival has raised over £1000 for important local charities including The Rugeley Open Spaces Association and Rugeley & District Community First Responders and will continue to support local charities in 2022 and beyond.

Tickets are limited and the festival is subject to high demand. 2018 & 2019 sold out in advance so please buy your tickets as soon as possible. Tickets are available exclusively online here. Tickets can be paid for securely via Credit / Debit card. All tickets are digital which means you need to print the PDF confirmation email or bring it on your smartphone. Don’t forget, £1 from every ticket purchased will go directly to a local charity.

Soak up a festival atmosphere on your doorstep! Rugeley Rocks returns for 2022 after 2019’s  sell out success. We can’t wait to welcome you back but for those of you who are new to us here’s what too expect. Gates open at 4pm and our first act kicks off straight away so get ready to rock and roll. We have over 10 handpicked bands and artists that will be performing across two stages throughout the day – there will be something for everyone from Brit pop to classic rock. Pick up your free festival programme on your arrival and check out all the bands and what times they will be taking to the stage. Sit back and relax on our straw bales, indulge in some delicious street food or real ale and enjoy the festival atmosphere! Children can make the most of our free fun zone including giant inflatables, games and entertainment. Be sure to browse the market stalls and support local businesses.
