Some weekends are made for relaxing. Others are made for turning the volume up and enjoying life a little louder.
Rockfest 2026 at Bike Forge promises exactly that. Taking place on 7–8 March 2026 at De Heuvel Estate, between Tulbagh and Wolseley, the festival is set to bring together live rock music, camping under the stars and a crowd ready for a proper weekend adventure.
And for those still hoping to join the party, this is officially the last call for tents.
A Rock Festival with a Wild Side
Rockfest isn’t your typical concert experience. Instead of rushing home after the final song, festivalgoers can settle in for the full weekend with a camping experience that keeps the vibe going long after the guitars quiet down.
The event will feature four live rock bands, delivering the soundtrack for a weekend of music, laughter and the kind of atmosphere that only a proper outdoor festival can create.
Between sets, guests can relax with friends, soak up the mountain scenery and enjoy the laid-back energy that makes events like this so memorable.
Camping Packages That Keep It Easy
For those who want the full Rockfest experience, the festival camping packages take care of the details so guests can focus on enjoying the music.
The 1-Man Tent Package (R510) includes a pop-up tent with mattress and bedding, a ticket to the live bands, a shooter to get the evening started, plus a Sunday breakfast bun and coffee to ease into the morning after.
For friends attending together, the 2-Man Tent Package (R1120) includes a tent with two single beds and bedding, tickets for both guests, two shooters, and the same Sunday breakfast and coffee combination.
With tents nearly sold out, only one single tent and a handful of two-man tents remain, making this truly the final chance to secure a camping spot.
Day Visitors Welcome
Not everyone wants to camp, and that’s perfectly fine.
Guests can also join the fun with day tickets available for R150 on 7 March, while entry on Sunday, 8 March is free. That means plenty of opportunity to enjoy the music, explore the festival atmosphere and experience Rockfest without needing to pack a sleeping bag.
A Festival Setting Worth the Trip
Set against the scenic landscapes of the R46 between Tulbagh and Wolseley, De Heuvel Estate provides the perfect backdrop for a rock music weekend.
Mountains, open skies and the crackle of a campfire create the kind of environment where great music feels even better. It’s a setting that invites people to slow down, stay a little longer and enjoy the moment.
Last Call for Rockfest
With tents almost completely sold out and excitement building, Rockfest 2026 is shaping up to be one of those weekends people talk about long after the final encore. For anyone who enjoys live music, a good crowd and a bit of adventure, this is the moment to book. Reservations can be made by calling or WhatsApping: 083 520 8000
Because sometimes the best weekends begin with a guitar riff… and end with breakfast and coffee the next morning. 🎸🔥⛺
