Rock Regeneration

Teddy Rocks Festival has revealed the full line-up of musical acts performing during the 3-day event, in addition to changes that are set to secure the future of the festival.The UK’s Best Family Festival will take place in Blandford Forum, Dorset during the first May Bank Holiday Weekend (3 – 5 May). Over a hundred acts will perform at this year’s festival across seven stages, including chart-topping pop acts, alternative rock, metal, and punk bands, emerging talent, DJ sets, and comedians. One hundred percent of the profit from Teddy Rocks is given to charities supporting children going through cancer treatment.

New for 2024, the UK’s best tribute bands will perform hit songs from the past and present on the Teddy Rocks Main Stage. Headlining the Main Stage on Saturday, 4 May is Live/Wire the electrifying AC/DC rock band tribute show, and on Sunday, 5 May, QE2 the hugely successful tribute playing the very best of QUEEN. Also featuring on the Main Stage will be tributes to Oasis, Guns N’ Roses, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, Madness, Iron Maiden, Green Day, Artic Monkeys, Blink 182 and Paramore.

Due to popular demand, the Pop Party will return to the Main Stage bigger and better than before, on Friday, 3 May with nostalgia acts, Atomic Kitten performing their number 1 songs ‘Whole Again’ and ‘The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling)’, DJ Sammy whose hits include “Heaven” and “Boys Of Summer”, Liberty X and their number 1 song “Just A Little”, and Five performing “Keep On Movin’”, “If Ya Gettin’ Down” and “Everybody Get Up”.

Festival Founder and Director, Tom Newton, recently announced the changes to this year’s festival and the positive impact it will have in ensuring the future of the festival. Tom Newton, said: “Event organisers up and down the country have been struggling to deliver events since the pandemic due to continued increasing supplier costs, including a big uplift in the cost of musical acts, as well as exclusivity contracts that make music festivals nearly impossible to put on. Unfortunately for all of us in Dorset, that means over the last few years we’ve lost some much-loved events. “Teddy Rocks has a very important mission and to ensure the future of the festival, as well as delivering the best possible event we can, it was necessary to change things.”
 
All profit made from Teddy Rocks Festival is given to select charities that emotionally and financially support children with cancer and their families.

In addition to the announcement of the change to Main Stage acts it was announced that the cost of tickets will be significantly reduced, with weekend tickets on sale for £90, more than a 20% reduction on last year’s festival, and day tickets on sale for £32.
