What the organisers say

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Andy Cato and Tom Findlay aka the iconic Groove Armada as our third Rock Oyster headliner. They’ll be playing a a showstopping DJ set of their classic chart-topping tunes! We see ya baby, shakin' that ass.


It’s (somehow) 25 years since Groove Armada dropped their debut before going on to become one of the most successful dance acts of all time, we can't think of a better act to kick start the biggest party of the Summer!



We’re super excited to welcome British reggae and pop singer HOLLIE COOK. VC PINES (Violet Coloured Pines) aka Jack Mercer brings his smart, articulate alt-soul to the banks of the Camel Estuary. And fresh from an extensive support tour with Dermot Kennedy, we’re super excited to welcome ZOLA COURTNEY.


Also joining the party are festival faves DR MEAKER, LAND OF THE GIANTS, FERRIS & SYLVESTER and THE SCRIBES. It’s looking like a great party! If that wasn't enough, we've also added TOM JENKINS, THE ROYSTON CLUB, JACK BOTTS and PATTERN PUSHER.


We’d suggest having a little mooch over to the Rock Oyster website and getting to know all our musical guests a little better!
