Rochester Rocks Festival

03/09/2026

Most of the summer festivals are done, but there's still a couple to look forward to this month.

Destination FORGE 2026 is fast approaching with an epic lineup that includes Black Lakes and Jack J Hutchinson who are at Rochester Rocks 2027 and The Rattlebacks who played for us this year.

Tickets still available.

Having some serious FOMO about this one as last years event was AWESOME 👌

Luke from Blue Nation is raising money for mental health supporting Ian's Chain Charity by shaving his head on December 5th after spending 2 and half years growing his hair long.
The hair will be donated to The Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children with cancer.
Both of these are worthwhile causes and if you can spare a bit of cash, please donate. Every bit helps.
Rochester Rocks Festival will be making a donation.

Wow, it just goes to show the sky really is the limit with Blue Nation.
Some serious ties with Marshall Amplification The Chord Company and now Gibson.
Well deserved

🪬Pinch us, please somebody pinch us! 🪬

We are beyond excited to annouce that we are officially working with Gibson! The amazing team at Gibson have sorted us out guitars for the tour and are on hand for all the lovely Gibson needs.

We cannot thank Ben at Gibson, Whitney at Wild 1 Media and our manager Ron enough. When we think this journey cannot get any better, it once again hits another level for us.

With Marshall Amplification, Chord Company and now Gibson in our corner it really is a dream trio.

Thank you for the love and support, we are over the Brummie moon!

Stay happy & free
Neil, Luke & Nick
🪬🕉✌🏻

Took a week off from the socials. Did I miss anything?

We said that this page would be used to help spread the word on other events worthy of your attention and this one by our friend Mark Parsley is just that. Headliner Bad Touch played Rochester Rocks for us earlier this year and they top off an incredible bill that Mark has put together.
Mark is one of the good guys and puts his heart, soul and personally finances this event.
If you can make it, go! You won't be disappointed

Rochester Rocks 2027 Headliner Blue Nation have been selected as well deserved Band Of The Month by Emerging Rock Bands

Blue Nation so narrowly missed out on becoming ERB Magazine cover stars, and they have come close to winning Artist of the Month on more than one occasion. In fact, we can’t quite believe it hasn’t happened before!

Perhaps there’s some “Wisdom for Pennies” in the old saying that good things come to those who wait – although we’re sure they must have been “Tired of Waiting”.

But now they can take “Comfort” in knowing that the wait is finally over – and proudly say “Watch Me Fly”...
.. and there’s plenty more to come. Blue Nation’s UK headline tour kicks off in Glasgow on 10th September, so grab a ticket for a gig near you...

After so many near misses, August belongs to 💙Blue Nation💙

ERB Artist of the Month – August 2026.
