We’re extremely pleased to announce the first 14 bands for Planet Rockstock 2024, including two headliners.

The 11th Planet Rockstock will once again take place at our home for the past decade, Trecco Bay in Porthcawl, Wales, from Thursday 28th November to Sunday 1st December 2024.

Our first Bernie Marsden Stage headliners to be confirmed are Friday bill-toppers Robert Jon & The Wreck, and Saturday headliner Michael Monroe.

Orange County southern rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have been mainstays on Planet Rock’s airwaves in recent years with killer tracks like 'Ballad Of A Broken Hearted Man,' 'Stone Cold Killer' and 'Don't Look Down.’

Robert Jon & The Wreck

A truly phenomenal band in the live arena, Robert Jon & The Wreck’s headline slot at Rockstock is one not to be missed.

As anyone who bore witness to his explosive glam punk set at Planet Rockstock 2017 will attest, former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe is a consummate showman that oozes charisma and bounds around with an energy that belies his years.

Prepare to be dazzled by the Finnish rock extraordinaire on the Saturday night!

Also confirmed for the Bernie Marsden Stage today are Darren Wharton’s Renegade, Von Hertzen Brothers, Blaze Bayley, Chris Holmes, Philip Sayce, Marco Mendoza, The Hot One Two, Absolva, The Damn Truth, Hillbilly Vegas, Vambo and The Commoners.

We’ll be unveiling four more Bernie Marsden Stage acts and all the Graham Harding Stage bands in the coming months. Stay tuned!
