Rocky's Cuffs

3-piece from South-London, looking to shake-up and dominate the alt-rock music scene. The band members bring a wealth of musical prowess and individuality to the table, resulting in a cohesive yet dynamic musical experience, with musical tastes from the members such as Royal Blood, Avenged Sevenfold, Primus, All Them Witches, Tool & many more.

Their explosive performances, both in the studio and on stage, reflect a dedication to authenticity and a refusal to conform to conventional norms. The band's innovative approach to songwriting, coupled with their electrifying stage presence, sets them apart as a force to be reckoned with in the competitive world of rock!

Blood Like Wine

A fresh local rock band with influences from 90s grunge to 2000s alt rock.

The Better Dead

Bringing something different to the music scene. The Better Dead are riff heavy, cowboy assassins from the south coast of England. Cloaked in bravado and chemistry, this two piece carries enough energy to stand as a five.

Dinosaur Weekend

Saturday 7 September - Sunday 8 September, Hampton Kempton Waterworks Railway, 10.30am-4.30pm.
