Rockore runs from 11 a.m. until 10.30 p.m. on Saturday 22 August. It's an 18+ event hosted at Lochore Meadows Country Park in Lochgelly, organised entirely by Benarty Events Group community volunteers. The festival takes over the parkland for a full day of live music across the afternoon and evening.
The vibe
Think grassroots festival energy with a proper countryside setting. Lochore Meadows is a sprawling country park, so you're not crammed into a field—there's room to breathe, walk about, and soak in the open-air atmosphere. Being run by locals means it's got that community feel without the corporate polish. It's the kind of day where you can show up, settle in, and let the music unfold naturally.
Getting tickets
Details on pricing aren't confirmed yet, but Rockore typically pitches itself as accessible and reasonable. Check the official event listing closer to the date for ticket prices and any early-bird discounts. Capacity information will also be announced as the festival approaches.
