UK TRIBUTE Festivals, the team behind free rock festival, Festwich, are bringing their new music festival to Moor Park in Preston on July 4 and July 5.
The organisers are promising two full days of live music, with over 30 acts, including well-known tributes acts as well as up and coming talent
Festival curator, Jools Taylor, explained: “We’ve been in close discussions with Preston City Council and are extremely excited to be bringing a new festival to Preston in summer 2015.
“Our festivals are unique as they are free to attend. The ticket is free and all people pay is the booking fee.
“Rockprest is aimed at all ages and there will be something for everybody including two stages of music, thrill rides, kids’ rides, a market area, plus food and beer tents that cater for all tastes.”
Festwich has seen some of the best tribute acts from around the UK and Europe including tributes to Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Muse, Metallica and many more. It will return to St Mary’s Park in Prestwich in summer 2015.
