Maid of Stone runs 16–18 July 2027 at Mote Park in Maidstone. The festival spans three full days with two stages, meaning you won't have to choose between bands. The lineup focuses on rock, blues rock, southern rock and metal—so expect the sort of acts that still play proper guitars and mean it.
The vibe
A genuine festival experience without the usual logistics nightmare. Two stages running simultaneously means you can follow your taste without compromise. Mote Park gives you space to move, and the rock-focused billing attracts a crowd who are there for the music. Three days in July in Kent is peak summer festival season: the weather's decent, the daylight stretches on, and everyone's in the mood for proper rock.
Getting tickets
Tickets are available through Skiddle. Pricing hasn't been finalised yet, but expect standard festival rates for a full three-day weekend pass. Early-bird tiers often offer better value, so check when they go live.
