Floors Castle announces return of Roxburghe Rocks music festival

Scottish Borders stately home Floors Castle reprises its fabulous Roxburghe Rocks event this summer, where the audience will soak up the sounds of some of the music world’s greatest performers.

Visitors of all ages can enjoy the open-air festival vibe with the music of Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis.

Enjoy the tunes that have thrilled generations with the stunning castle as the backdrop to a day of entertainment, food, drink and fun with friends and family.

The event on Saturday, August 5, which starts at 1 pm and runs to approximately 9 pm, promises a show like no other. Presented by Floors Castle in association with 21st Century Events at Chapterhouse Theatre Company, it features an exhilarating array of tribute bands live in the grounds of one of the UK’s most beautiful country estates.

21st Century Queen will perform many of Queen’s best-known blockbusters including We Will Rock You, Radio Ga Ga and Bohemian Rhapsody.  Mardy Bums, the UK’s finest Arctic Monkeys tribute act, will rock the grounds with hits including Do I Wanna Know? 505, I Wanna Be Yours and I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor. 

Definitely Oasis embody 90s Britpop with Liam and Noel Gallagher’s music from Don’t Look Back In Anger to Champagne Supernova and Wonderwall. And UK Fleetwood Mac will bring to life Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits including Dreams, Everywhere, The Chain and Go Your Own Way.

Jaap Röell, MD for the Roxburghe Estates said: “We are thrilled to be able to bring this fantastic open-air festival back to Floors. Last year was an enormous success when we all rocked to the music of Abba, Queen and Elton John. This year, Queen’s music is back once more but with another galaxy of stellar tribute bands. The whole event is just getting bigger and better and we can’t wait to celebrate summer again.”

The open-air event will run whatever the weather and visitors, who are advised to dress appropriately, are welcome to bring a chair or blanket. There will be car parking available and dedicated accessible car parking.

A range of delicious catering for all dietary requirements will be available onsite with vendors and additional entertainment to be confirmed soon. There will also be a professional security team present.

Early Bird tickets, priced £25 for children and £35 for adults, are available now via the ticket link or onsite from the Castle’s Apple Shed Gift Shop. Accessible tickets and free carer admission are also available.
