"There are not many if any festivals that have sold out before the headline act is announced but we like to do things a little bit differently!

"Seriously there have been a few hurdles to overcome with planning this year's event, but hopefully you will agree with us that we have delivered an event which is outstanding value for a £30 ticket price!

"BEG would like to thank everyone who has purchased tickets in advance to make this the 5th Rockore in a row to sell out."

They went on to thank this year's event sponsors, Cartmore Building Supplies, Brag Enterprises Crosshill & Rubber Stamp Promotions.
