When engines rumble and guitars scream, you know something big is happening in the valley.
This March, Rock Fest 2026 roars into Bike Forge, bringing with it a full-throttle weekend of live music, good food, cold drinks and unforgettable energy.
Set between Wolseley and Tulbagh on the scenic R46, Bike Forge transforms into a rock lover’s playground on 7–8 March 2026.
- The festival kicks off around midday and powers through until midnight, with live bands taking the stage from 14:30. Expect unapologetic rock anthems and crowd-pleasing riffs from Retro Rebels, Uncle Righteous and War Pigs—the kind of lineup that keeps heads banging and glasses clinking.
But Rock Fest isn’t just about the music. As a food-and-fuel destination, Bike Forge brings the full experience to the table. Festival-goers can refuel with hearty bites, browse extra stalls, enter lucky draws and soak up the buzz of a venue that knows how to host a proper jol. It’s loud, it’s lively, and it’s exactly how a rock festival should feel.
Those keen to turn the volume up for the whole weekend can take advantage of on-site accommodation options.
Overnighters are treated to festival tickets, a celebratory shooter, and a relaxed Sunday light breakfast with coffee. There’s even a bonus live music session on Sunday morning—more rock ’n roll vibes while brunching, just because. Prefer to sleep at home? Day passes are available too, making it easy for everyone to join the action.
