Planet Rockstock

About Planet Rockstock

Trecco Bay Holiday Park in Porthcawl, South Wales takes Planet Rockstock 2026 into a coastal holiday-park setting for four days of rock, classic rock and hard rock. The 13th edition runs Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 November, with ticketing and checkout extending to Monday 30 November 2026.

The festival started in Great Yarmouth in 2013, when Hawkwind, The Temperance Movement and Uriah Heep topped the bill. It moved to Trecco Bay Holiday Park in 2014.

Lineup and Programme

Announced acts include Ricky Warwick and the Fighting Hearts, The Temperance Movement, Magnum and Geoff Tate performing Queensrÿche’s 'Operation: Mindcrime'. The Temperance Movement are confirmed for the Friday headline slot.

The 2026 edition uses two named stages: The Bernie Marsden Stage and The Graham Harding Stage. The format puts main-stage programming in the evening and second-stage programming during the day.

Beyond the live bill, the programme includes live radio shows and recorded interviews. After-show music runs late from Thursday to Sunday, with Rockaoke on Saturday night and a Sunday morning quiz.

Who Is It For?

This is strictly over-18s. Planet Rockstock is a standing event for an adult rock-festival crowd, with limited seating available for rest breaks.

The format suits attendees using the holiday-park accommodation model or non-accommodation weekend and day tickets. It is not a family event.
