Introducing Geezer’s Palace, where the neon glows late and the party never quits. Think Las Vegas with a Somerset accent – Elvis tributes, close-up magicians, cocktail bars, karaoke crowds, drag queen bingo, fun casinos, and yes… shotgun weddings. It’s wild, weird, and exactly what festival memories are made of.

For those chasing late-night vibes, Billy Bob’s Woods offers soon to be legendary campfire sessions – stripped-back, soulful, and running deep into the early hours. Expect acoustic sets, story-swapping, star-gazing and spontaneous collaborations that make you forget what day it is.
And of course, all the festival favourites are back – BBQ pitmasters, monster trucks, custom bikes, kids zones, beer tents, live bands, classic rockers, rib-eating contests and a soundtrack soaked in Southern rock and good old-fashioned rebellion.
Rock N Ribs 2026 is gearing up to be the most unforgettable chapter yet.
