Rock at the Castle Acts Announced

Hertford Town Council is pleased to announce the chosen acts to perform at the 11th Rock at the Castle held on Sunday 2rd August from 12.30 – 19.30. The free music festival will be held in the grounds of Hertford Castle, and has seen thousands of visitors return year on year!

The council were so overwhelmed at the quantity and quality of acts that they have decided to add an additional music stage to the event!

Rock at the Castle has previously consisted of a main stage and acoustic stage on the Castle lawn. For 2015, Hertford Town Council has decided to add an ‘Acoustic Garden Stage’ to accommodate for additional well worthy acts to perform.

The Acoustic Garden Stage will be set in the Castle Moat Garden and is designed to be a mellow relaxing area with a folk inspired feel. Yoga massages and meditation stalls will be present for those who want to chill out and listen to something softer than the main Rock Stage.

In addition, Hertford Town Council have also organised a DJ Tent, which will be set across the River Lea on the Island. With house music pumping, the DJ tent provides an alternative for visitors who aren’t into the Indie, Rock genre.
