THE CORNWALL ROCKS 2024 MUSIC FESTIVAL TAKES PLACE AT TENCREEK HOLIDAY PARK IN LOOE BETWEEN FRIDAY 4 AND SUNDAY 6 OCTOBER 2024. EXPECT SOME OF THE BEST ROCK AND METAL BANDS IN THE UK TO PLAY THIS ANNUAL FEST!
Cornwall does rock, doesn’t it? It certainly does when the three-day Cornwall Rocks 2024 live music festival rocks up to Tencreek Holiday Park in Looe in mid-October. This fully-charged rock music fest, which was a blast last year and should be even bigger and more rockin’ this autumn, packs in some of the biggest names in Britmetal and rock over the past 50 years. Have we said ‘rocks’ enough yet?
Cornwall Rocks 2024, which takes place on Friday 4, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October 2024, is pretty intimate and lots of fun, drawing a good post-summer crowd from across the UK. Prepare for some of the best British rock acts to carry the metal flag over the past few decades to grace the stage at one of the best rock festivals in Cornwall 2024.
Who is playing Cornwall Rocks 2024 festival at Tencreek Holiday Park? Dare, for starters. The rock legends, who are fronted by ex-Thin Lizzy keyboard ace Darren Wharton and have been wowing crowds and making music since the 1980s, headline the Saturday night.
Other big, big deals playing the fest include Collateral, Sons of Liberty and Departed on the Friday and Skam, Blacktop Deluxe and Blue Nation on the Saturday. Miguel Montalban and The Southern Vultures, plus Brave Rival, play on the Sunday in the fifth anniversary of this popular festival.
Watch this space for other acts on the bill. We will update this page as and when new acts are announced.

Atomic Rooster headlined the Sunday night in 2023 and FM headlined the Saturday night. British blues-rock band When Rivers Meet headlined the Friday night after the Greyfox Conspiracy, the Billy Walton Band and Departed opened up the fest. Other cracking acts in 2023 included The Hot Damn!, Desensitised, Half Moon Panic, Black Water Redemption, White Raven Down and Jack J.Hutchinson.
Cornish metal band King Creature headlined the Friday at the 2022 edition of the fest and blew their fans away on home soil. The big draw for the 2022 fest were the Saturday headliners Tygers of Pan Tang, who simply rocked the joint. Sunday night’s headliners last year, Grand Slam, also had them moshing in the aisles. Other celebrated sets were from Collateral, Gypsy’s Kiss, Sons of Liber, Hawklords and Thunderstick.
In short, expect more of the same for the October 2024 Cornwall rock music festival: big names and rising stars of the scene. There’s a great atmosphere at this fest, hence so many rockers coming back year after year.
It’s recommended to stay in one of Tencreek’s holiday caravans so you can enjoy all three nights as well as the facilities during the day. But options for single nights or just rocking up for the gigs without accommodation are also available. Just remember to wear your coolest rock and metal gear before you enjoy, quite literally, some of the best live acts touring the UK today. For those about to rock in Cornwall: we salute you.
