The South’s Most Kick-Ass Festival!
A 3 Day American themed family-friendly festival in Somerset.
17th July to 19th July
Bath & West Showground, Somerset
The idea for Rock n Ribs was hatched in Starbucks Yeovil in early 2019. Literally, we just thought it would be cool if more UK events resembled the laid-back cookouts you find in the USA with music, incredible smoked BBQ, tailgating, beers and bourbon. That was the foundation, and then it got increasingly silly from there.
The first Rock n Ribs was at Henstridge Airfield in August 2019, selling 1500 tickets in advance for the one day show, as well as nearly the same number on the gate, on the day of the inagural event.
Rock n Ribs was born!

Emerging in 2021 from hibernation. The show, now a full weekend
with Stiff Bizkit opening their set with ‘Hot Dog’ it was obvious a new venue was needed, so in 2022, Rock n Ribs moved to the Wincanton Racecourse and haven’t looked back since.
7years on, the 2026 Rock n Ribs will take place at The Bath & West Showground in Somerset.
So, this July, get ready to share great times with friends and family, with awesome live music, great food and entertainment American Style! All delivered with the hedonistic, flamboyant yet warm-hearted swagger of a Texan cowboy!
