Iwade Rock 2026 (The Big One)

Iwade Rock Charity Music Festival returns as one of Kent's leading family friendly boutique festivals, celebrating its 16th year since starting at Iwade Village Hall in 2010. The event blends live local musical talent with some of the UK's top touring tribute acts, delivering a high energy programme designed to entertain every age. Over 2,600 people attended in 2024, and the festival is known for its affordability, safety and community spirit.

Held in Iwade, this charity festival showcases a compact, lively atmosphere where festival staples meet local flavour. Usual festival style food and drink vendors offer reasonably priced options alongside artisan suppliers serving mouth-watering sweet treats and Kentish-made drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. A small funfair provides extra family-friendly excitement, making the day suitable for visitors with children.

Iwade Rock is supported by local small and large businesses and has raised over £34,000 for local charities since its inception. Whether you come for live music, the tribute acts, the local food and drink or simply a safe and affordable day out, Iwade Rock promises to entertain and occupy all who attend. Tickets are available online, making it simple to plan a memorable day at one of Kent's favourite boutique music festivals.
