New Milton’s Fawcetts Fields will again host Sham Rocks Music Festival, highlighting 2025’s success for the organisers, performers and the area, and this year – it‘s back with an extra day AND an extra stage.

Over 15th to 17th of May, Sham Rocks presents 40 acts with their Festival Friday launch party setting the scene. Festival Director Emer Druce of Firefly Festivals “inundated with acts wanting to play and patrons wanting to party, we just had to create that additional day and stage. Festival Friday offers a sneak preview taster night. Instead of the pub, why not pop along to get a feel of the festival which features some fantastic, UK-wide regular touring acts, hosted by DJ Rick On The Beat? My colleagues at The Trio and I have again risen to the cost-of-living challenge, keeping entry low; adult from £15, accompanied children from £6. £10 Friday and all-weekend offers are also on our site”.

The beauty of Sham Rocks is the organisers industry influence bringing the party to you, so you don’t have to travel. Amy Winehouse, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and M People are the headline tribute acts.
