Woodbank Park will host Rockstock 2023 on May 27-28, featuring over 30 live tribute acts for some of the greatest rock bands of all time.

When ticket prices for festivals such as Download and Bloodstock are so high, and with bands from this fantasy line-up touring infrequently or not at all, Rockstock aims to step in.

At the price of just £10 for adults and £3 for children, this festival provides access to top-quality musicianship and the opportunity to hear non-stop favourites from these legendary bands. Tickets are running low, so those who want to go should pick them up soon.

A statement on the UK Tribute Festivals website states: "Our ethos has always been for you to come and experience two days of the best tribute bands on the planet.

"We spare no expense in creating the best possible festival experience possible, and deliver high production values in an extremely fun-filled, safe, family environment.

"We attract like-minded festival revellers of all ages from all corners of the UK and beyond! We are super excited to be hosting the third Rockstock in the beautiful surroundings of Woodbank Park on 27 and 28 May."
