Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons to perform Motörhead set at Planet Rockstock

Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons are the new Friday night headliners at Planet Rockstock 2022.

The Welsh rockers will perform a Motörhead set at the newly refurbished Trecco Bay on Friday 2nd December, and they replace Bernie Marsden who has sadly been forced to pull out due to illness.

Bernie revealed in August that he’d suffered health setbacks in recent months, and he cancelled his upcoming shows in late summer and early autumn.

As he continues to recover, Bernie has now cancelled his appearance at Planet Rockstock.

“I wanted to make a short statement following the cancellation of my shows in 2022,” Bernie has told us.

“As I posted recently, I suffered acute dehydration which was a very unpleasant experience and six days in hospital left me very run down when released.

“My stamina and strength is returning but very slowly so reluctantly and with a heavy heart have had to cancel Trecco Bay in December.

“I cannot commit to a show if I am not 100%. I owe that to you guys. A return to normal health is my priority at this time.

“Take care, see you all sometime in 2023.”

Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons received rave reviews for their ‘plays Motörhead’ UK tour in May. They’ve since brought the show to festivals across Europe including Wacken Open Air and Hellfest.

They join a weekend bill that already boasts King King (Thursday headliner), Monster Truck (Sunday headliner), Sweet, Blaze Bayley, The Answer, Stone Broken, When Rivers Meet, Danny Bryant, Elles Bailey and many more.

The Saturday night headliner will be unveiled in the coming weeks!
