Cambridge Rock Festival to make a comeback at Harlock’s Farm

The Cambridge Rock Festival (CRF) is preparing to make a return this summer with a unique ticketing model that aims to make live music accessible to all attendees. The event, which will mark its 22nd anniversary, is scheduled to take place at Harlock’s Farm in Ely from July 30 to August 2.

One of the standout features of the festival is its “pay-what-you-can-afford” ticketing scheme. This innovative approach allows festival-goers to choose from multiple price tiers for the same four-day access. The tiered pricing system ensures that individuals with varying financial resources can attend the festival without financial barriers. Those with tighter budgets can opt for a more affordable ticket, while those who are able to contribute more can select a higher price tier to support the future sustainability of the event.

The festival is entirely volunteer-run, emphasizing its commitment to making live music experiences affordable and inclusive. According to the festival organizers, every ticket sale directly contributes to the festival’s sustainability, allowing it to provide excellent value for money to music enthusiasts.

With up to 75 bands scheduled to perform across three stages, the Cambridge Rock Festival promises an exciting lineup for attendees. Featured acts include Aynsley Lister, Mostly Autumn, Stray, Son of Man, Brave Rival, Pure Floyd, and Yes Please. The event also showcases support for local independent businesses, offering a bar stocked with real ales and ciders for festival-goers to enjoy.

For convenience, on-site camping and caravan/motorhome parking options are available adjacent to the main festival arena. The festival’s family-friendly atmosphere, combined with its capacity of up to 2,000 attendees per day, has garnered praise from past participants.

Tickets for the festival are currently on sale through the official Cambridge Rock Festival Ticket Office. Early Bird rates and the flexible ticket pricing tiers are available to accommodate a wide range of budgets. In addition to the music performances, attendees can look forward to on-site camping facilities, bars serving real ales and ciders, and an overall immersive festival experience.
