Zip World Rocks 2018 saw us raising over £25k for The Love Hope Strength Foundation, the charitable trust founded by The Alarm frontman Mike Peters, along with his wife, Jules. Last year’s line-up for the music festival saw Slade headlining, supported by the likes of Mike, Maffia Mr Huws, Band Pres Llareggub and other local Welsh talent. This year, with over double the capacity and last year’s experience under our belt, so far, we’re bringing you 3 headline acts.
Headlining so far this year will be three acts (more to follow) to take you back 20 years, we're owning the 90s! Cast will be performing a collection of their greatest hits on stage, to an incredible backdrop of the Snowdonia mountain range and Penrhyn Quarry. Joining them will be Miles Hunt of The Wonder Stuff, showcasing a selection of his solo work for your enjoyment. Gracing the stage will also be of course, Mike Peters, the legendary frontman of The Alarm. Last year, Mike performed an engaging and emotional set, reminding us what the festival is all about and treated us to songs old and new. We can’t wait to see what he does this year!
Enjoy the classic Welsh music of Bryn Fôn and Welsh pop sensation Elin Fflur. Both have been a staple to the Welsh music scene for a number of years and we can’t wait to welcome them and their loyal following to the Zip World Rocks stage! A couple of last year’s favourites, Maffia Mr Huws and Storyville Mob will also be making a return following their popularity last year, alongside Alffa, who will be making their Zip Roc debut!
The VIP area will also enjoy a private acoustic singer- you can upgrade to VIP via our booking team on 01248 601444!
