The festival plays host to a variety of classic rock and blues bands, some of which have performed at previous Loverocks Festivals. The headline cover bands performing this year include Maidstone-based Pink Floyd tribute band Just Floyd and Hells Bells – an accomplished tribute band to ACDC who tour all over Europe. Just Floyd was one of the headline acts at the first Loverocks Festival. They use an immersive lightshow as part of their performance and are often described as “the most authentic live Pink Floyd tribute” due to their impressive live show which mimics the real Pink Floyd. As well as cover bands, Loverocks is featuring some original bands from the local area and overseas. Some of the U.K. rock bands include Leicester hard-rockers, SKAM; London rock band, City of Thieves and Northern Ireland-based Baleful Creed.

Hell’s Gazelles are making the trip down from Oxford after receiving a critically-acclaimed review in Kerrang. Hard-hitting five-piece, Those Damn Crows, will be taking a break from recording their second album. Bournemouth-based hard rock band, Western Sand, will be playing a collection of songs from their two critically acclaimed EPís.
International guests include Dublin blues-rock band, Samarkind, who will be crossing the Irish Sea to play for attendees at Loverocks Festival. In addition to the live music taking place over the weekend, the family-friendly festival, which is free for under-5ís, makes the most of the facilities at St Leonards Farm and Campsite. Families at Loverocks can expect activities such as face painting and access to the childrenís play area at the campsite.
