What Is The Sonic Rock Solstice?
The Sonic Rock Solstice is an annual music festival that takes place at Stoke Prior Space Port, in Worcestershire, England. It took place from the 15th-19th of June, so maybe you are reading this as you are driving back home?
It typically features a lineup of rock and psychedelic bands, as well as DJs and other performers. The festival is known for its laid-back atmosphere and communal vibe, with attendees often camping on site and participating in workshops and other activities.
The Sonic Rock Solstice has been running for over a decade and has become a popular event for fans of underground and alternative music.
Sonic rock is a subgenre of rock music that emphasizes the use of electronic effects, such as distortion and feedback, to create a more experimental and psychedelic sound. It emerged in the 1960s and was popularized by bands like The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd.
