Rock fans, food lovers, and weekend adventurers have a new date to circle in bold red marker: Rockfest 2026 at Bike Forge is gearing up to bring serious riffs, hearty food, and unforgettable vibes to the heart of the Western Cape.
Taking place from 7–8 March 2026 at Bike Forge, this two-day rock celebration is less about pretence and more about pure, unapologetic fun.
Set along the scenic R46 between Tulbagh and Wolseley, Rockfest promises the kind of atmosphere where guitars wail, burgers sizzle, and time seems to disappear somewhere between the first chorus and the last encore.
- Rockfest 2026 delivers a powerhouse lineup featuring Retro Rebels, Uncle Righteous, and War Pigs. From classic rock swagger to thunderous modern riffs, the live music kicks off at 14:00 and rolls straight through to midnight — because rock shows should never end early.
Fuel for the Headbangers
A proper rock festival needs proper sustenance, and Bike Forge delivers. The on-site bar and restaurant will be fully operational, serving ice-cold drinks and comfort food designed to keep energy levels high and voices hoarse. Whether it’s a mid-set beer or a post-gig meal, Rockfest makes sure no one rocks on an empty stomach.
Make It a Weekend, Not a Whirlwind
One of Rockfest’s biggest perks? Accommodation is available, making it easy to turn this into a full weekend escape. Overnighters and early risers are rewarded on Sunday morning with a laid-back 10am breakfast run, complete with live music and relaxed R&R vibes — open to both guests and the public.
