Rockathon tribute band festival to return to Fairyhouse this May

This year's Rockathon, Ireland's only Music Festival dedicated to Rock 'n' Roll, will take place at Fairyhouse Racecourse, Ratoath on Saturday 27th May 2023.

This event will feature tribute bands playing music from renowned bands such as Guns N Roses, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Thin Lizzy.

Festiva orgainser David Livingstone said Rockathon would feature music "from an era that modern day festivals have forgotten, music that makes you feel free, makes you feel alive, just makes you feel. Rockathon is an amazing festival that plays all the anthems from the greatest bands ever to walk the planet.

"This event is filling a void and giving the rock community a festival to embrace and call their own."

Mr Livingstone said this family friendly event would see kids under 12 go free along with free parking, a large food court, fully licensed bar and campsite.

"If you are sick of not being catered for by big promoters, ‘Can’t get no satisfaction’ from the festival calendar. Rockathon’s got what you need by bringing you all the greatest headliners that music history has to offer at one festival and one massive line-up.

"Do you want to remember when you fell in love with real music? Rockathon will remind you..”

“We are doing this for the thousands of fans in Ireland that love real rock music. Our two stages will play 10 hours of non-stop, let’s rock, head banging, epic, rock ‘n’ roll anthems so come prepared for one hell of a day”.
