Hayrock Tribute Festival 2027

About Hayrock Tribute Festival

Hayrock began in 2026 with a tribute-only brief. Year 2 puts Hayrock Tribute Festival at Haydock Racecourse, Newton-le-Willows on 23–25 July 2027, running as a three-day tribute-only rock festival. The weekend is built around 24 tribute acts across rock, metal, alternative, punk and emo.

The format is direct. Live sets run across the weekend, with a Collectibles & Metal Market, merchandise, bars and food vendors also on site. A three-day general admission ticket is £60, with day tickets at £25 and weekend camping at £70.

Who Is It For?

The crowd is the rock-club end of the tribute circuit, stretching from metal and punk to emo. It is not adult-only. Under-21s must attend with a responsible adult aged 21+, under-5s need a free ticket added to the order, and children are advised to use hearing protection.

Bars run Challenge 25, with ID required where needed. Younger fans can attend within the stated adult-supervision rules.
