Festival Preview: Malvern Rocks 2026
Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd August
The eighth edition of the free community music festival takes over pubs, clubs, cafés and outdoor spots across Malvern and beyond.
With over 100 performances from exciting new talent and local favourites at venues including The Morgan, Barnard’s Green Cricket Club, The Red Lion (Cradley), The Express, The Railway, Malvern Lounge, The Foresters, The Royal Oak (Leigh Sinton), The Retired Soldier, Belle Vue Island and Dirty D’s Donuts. (Sadly no Priory Park this year due to theatre works.)
Whether you fancy an afternoon on Belle Vue Island, an evening in a cosy pub or hopping between stages, there’s something for everyone — rock, blues, funk, folk, jazz and more.
Full timetable and venue details are on the Malvern Rocks website.
Entry is completely free everywhere. As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company they rely on your support to pay the artists and sound crew who make it all happen.
Please donate via the QR codes at venues (or online), pick up a t-shirt or wristband, or simply turn up and enjoy the music.
Come and be part of this vibrant celebration of live music. The Malvern Rocks Team can’t wait to see you!
