Classic rock, hard rock and emerging rock talent
The festival will once again return to its established home at Newark Showground, bringing together rock fans from across Britain for another enormous day of live music.
🎸 ONE DAY. ONE STAGE. ONE MONSTER ROCK SHOW!
What makes STONEDEAD Festival so special?
For many regular attendees, the answer is simple.
It’s a proper old-school rock festival that puts the music and the fans first.
Inspired by the spirit of the original Monsters Of Rock concerts at Donington Park, STONEDEAD has built its reputation around a straightforward formula.
One day.
One stage.
A fantastic collection of established and emerging rock bands.
And thousands of passionate music fans enjoying a full day of live performances without worrying about overlapping set times.
There’s no racing between half a dozen stages, missing your favourite band’s opening song or having to choose between two artists you desperately want to see.
At STONEDEAD, everyone shares the same stage and the same musical experience.
That approach has helped the event become one of the most distinctive independent rock festivals in Britain.
🔥 Another Huge Achievement For An Independent Festival
STONEDEAD’s latest sell-out is particularly impressive because the event is organised by volunteers and built around a genuine passion for live music.
Unlike some of the enormous commercial festivals dominating the summer calendar, STONEDEAD has maintained a comparatively intimate atmosphere.
Its organisers have focused on delivering a festival experience that celebrates the relationship between bands and audiences.
Over the years, that dedication has helped establish a remarkably loyal community of regular attendees.
For many festivalgoers, STONEDEAD has become an annual tradition.
It’s a chance to catch up with friends, discover new bands, enjoy established rock favourites and experience the atmosphere of a classic British outdoor rock show.
The 2027 sell-out demonstrates just how much confidence fans have developed in the event.
🤘 STONEDEAD Has Welcomed Some Incredible Rock Bands
Since its beginnings in 2018, STONEDEAD has developed an impressive reputation for bringing established international artists and exciting emerging musicians to Newark.
Previous editions have featured artists including:
- EUROPE
- ACCEPT
- URIAH HEEP
- MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP
- BLACK STAR RIDERS
- MAGNUM
- BATTLE BEAST
- ARMORED SAINT
- THE WILDHEARTS
- TERRORVISION
- GUN
- H.E.A.T
- KRIS BARRAS BAND
- MASSIVE WAGONS
- THE TREATMENT
- THE DAMN TRUTH
The festival’s willingness to showcase both recognised names and rising talent has become one of its greatest strengths.
For smaller bands, appearing at STONEDEAD provides an opportunity to perform in front of an audience that genuinely appreciates guitar-driven music.
And for fans, it creates opportunities to discover their next favourite band.
🎶 What About The STONEDEAD 2027 Line-Up?
At the time of this announcement, the full 2027 line-up has not been officially revealed.
That makes the sell-out particularly impressive.
Fans have already demonstrated their confidence in the festival before knowing exactly which bands will be performing.
Naturally, speculation is already building about who might headline next year’s event.
Will the organisers bring back a previous favourite?
Could another legendary British hard-rock band make its STONEDEAD debut?
Or might the festival surprise everyone with a major international act?
For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
No headline artists should be considered confirmed until STONEDEAD makes an official announcement.
But one thing is guaranteed: whoever takes to that stage next August will be performing in front of a sold-out crowd!
🎟️ Missed Out? Don’t Give Up On STONEDEAD 2027!
If you didn’t manage to purchase a ticket before the sell-out, joining the official waiting list is the most sensible next step.
And it’s worth acting sooner rather than later.
The festival has specifically advised fans that earlier registration improves their chances of being offered a ticket.
It is also important to avoid unofficial sellers offering tickets through social media.
Major festival sell-outs can attract scammers who advertise tickets they do not actually possess.
Before sending money to anyone, make sure the ticket is being offered through a legitimate, festival-approved process.
The official STONEDEAD waiting list is the safest starting point for anyone still hoping to attend.
🍻 Why Fans Keep Coming Back To STONEDEAD
STONEDEAD has developed something that many festivals strive for but not all manage to achieve: a genuine sense of community.
There is something special about spending an entire day surrounded by people who share your passion for rock music.
The battle jackets.
The band T-shirts.
The smell of festival food.
The opening guitar riffs.
The conversations with complete strangers who suddenly become your best mates because you’re both wearing the same obscure rock band’s merchandise.
And, of course, that magical moment when thousands of people sing along to a classic rock anthem.
STONEDEAD captures much of what made the original Monsters Of Rock events so memorable.
It doesn’t need a dozen stages or an enormous list of attractions.
The focus remains firmly on the music.
And judging by another complete sell-out, that’s exactly what its audience wants.
🏕️ Planning Ahead For STONEDEAD 2027
For those lucky enough to have secured tickets, the countdown to August 2027 has already begun.
With the festival taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, it’s worth planning your travel and accommodation well in advance.
Newark Showground is situated near Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, with access to major road routes.
Festivalgoers should check the official arrangements for parking, camping, access facilities and arrival times before travelling.
Those joining the waiting list should also remember that the availability of arena tickets does not automatically guarantee availability of camping or other additional facilities.
Check the specific ticket type if you receive an offer.
