The much-anticipated Cyprus Rocks Festival 2026 is just two weeks away, set to take place from October 1 to October 6 in Protaras, under the theme “Where Rock Legends Live On.” This year’s festivities will be centered around Trinity Beach, where the Main Stage will host a series of live rock performances over three consecutive nights, from October 2 to October 4.
The festival promises to be a vibrant celebration of rock music, featuring nine well-known tribute acts from the UK. The Main Stage, located just meters from the shoreline, will create an electrifying atmosphere for attendees as they enjoy live performances against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
Festival-goers can look forward to a diverse array of food and drink options available throughout the event. Local vendors, including PIKLA Purely Cypriot Street Food and Asian Wox, will offer a variety of culinary delights, while the KEO bar will serve a selection of local beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks, and water to keep everyone refreshed.
The Main Stage lineup is designed to cater to a wide range of rock music fans. The opening night on Friday, October 2, will feature tribute acts Motörheadache, Foo Forgers, and Live/Wire – The AC/DC Show, celebrating the music of iconic bands Motörhead, Foo Fighters, and AC/DC. On Saturday, October 3, attendees can enjoy performances by Ultimate Leppard, Mötley Crüde, and Guns or Roses, who will pay tribute to Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, and Guns N’ Roses. The festival will conclude on Sunday, October 4, with Quo Connection, Maximum Who, and UK Queen, honoring the music of Status Quo, The Who, and Queen.
In addition to the Main Stage events, the wider festival program, organized by Iron Stallion Promotions, will kick off on Thursday, October 1, with a Welcome Party at Polyxenia Isaak. The festivities will wrap up with a Farewell Party at the same venue on Tuesday, October 6.
