Get ready for an out-of-this-world rock experience! Sonic Rock Solstice returns to Bromsgrove in Worcestershire this summer, running from June 18 to 22, 2026. This cosmic multi-day celebration brings together progressive rock, space rock, blues, and psychedelic music under one big sky. Whether you are a die-hard prog fan or simply looking for an unforgettable weekend of great music, Sonic Rock Solstice offers a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that will have you dancing under the stars. Mark your calendars – five days of nonstop rock revelry await during the summer solstice!
The festival is set amidst the beautiful Worcestershire countryside at the Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club just outside Bromsgrove. A sprawling festival site means there's plenty of room for big stages and green camping fields. A large indoor arena stage ensures the music never stops — rain or shine — while outdoor stages let you enjoy the fresh summer air. Each night, expect dazzling light shows and cosmic decorations that create the perfect space-themed setting for deep grooves and soaring solos.
Sonic Rock Solstice is known for its stellar lineup of bands from around the globe. The lineup favors progressive and psychedelic rock, but you'll also hear blues-rock, stoner rock, and progressive blues acts mixing it up. Think guitar heroes, vintage keyboards, soaring vocals, and epic jams that transport you to another galaxy. With multiple bands playing each day, there's always something cool happening at every hour. The variety keeps the energy high and the surprises coming all weekend long.
Beyond the music, the festival prides itself on its welcoming vibe and community spirit. Fans of all ages are welcome (kids often get in free with adults), and well-behaved dogs on leads can join the adventure too. The crowd is friendly and laid-back, filled with fellow music lovers and lifelong festival families. Over the years, Sonic Rock Solstice has built a reputation as a must-visit event for anyone into trippy tunes and a family-friendly atmosphere.
Facilities at Sonic Rock Solstice are designed to make your stay comfortable. The included camping area is flat and spacious, so you can set up your tent just a short walk from the stages. Onsite parking is free with your ticket, and there are no hidden charges for campervans or caravans. Food vendors serve up festival staples and vegetarian options, and the bars have a great selection of beers and ales to keep you refreshed. Clean toilets and hot showers are available, making it easy to relax and enjoy the weekend without worries.
Whether you are a seasoned festival-goer or new to the scene, Sonic Rock Solstice 2026 promises an epic way to welcome the summer. Gather your friends, pack your space-themed costumes if you dare, and prepare to rock out among the stars. It is a weekend of live music, good times, and summertime solstice spirit under the same sky above us. Don't miss this chance to be part of one of Britain's most unique rock festivals—five nights of glorious live music and cosmic fun await you!
