Cockermouth Rock Festival (CockRock)
Saturday 19th July & Sunday 20th July 2008
Due to very popular demand from festival goers combined with a massive response that has been received with band applications it has been decided that CockRock 08 will now be a two day festival.
The festival will be held on Saturday 19th July & Sunday 20th July once again at Wellington Farm,
Cockermouth which has fantastic panoramic views of the Cumbrian fells.
CockRock 07 was a great success, the organisers where able to exceed expectations and donate
£10,000 to charity (£5,000 to the Cockermouth Mountain Rescue & £5,000 to The Pride of Cumbria
Air Ambulance).
CockRock ’08 will see many new additions. The ‘rapid fire’ stages will once again be in action, there will be a new larger stage which will be combined with the bar, aptly name ‘The Bar Stage’. As well as the Session Tent - back by popular demand, and a new extra stage. There will be many extra attractions on site, including many stalls, food outlets, extra bars as well as many events for all the family.
A full line up is still to be confirmed but will start to be released shortly. Applications from bands have been received in their hundreds from all over the Country, from Edinburgh to Brighton and even bands from New York and Germany, as well as many talented local bands. In addition there will be two main headliners, one on Saturday night and one on Sunday night, both are still under wraps.
