Rock Oyster Festival 24th - 27th July 2025

Saturday night is set to be nothing short of breathtaking, headlined by Rag’n’Bone Man who makes his Rock Oyster debut. Hot on the heels of his third studio album ‘What Do You Believe In?’ Rag’n’Bone Man is the 3x BRIT Award, Ivor Novello Award winner who’s toured the globe, sharing his powerful baritone vocals. Rory Graham rose to fame as Rag’n’Bone Man in 2016 with the huge, blues-laden debut single ‘Human’ and globally he has amassed over 8 billion streams. Next summer, Rock Oyster will be treated to inimitable vocals and a truly unforgettable performance from Rag’n’Bone Man, as he returns with a renewed sense of purpose and an entirely new energy; soulful, uplifting and joyful.

UB40 is the reggae and pop collective who’ve served up hits including Red Red Wine and Kingston Town. Formed in the 70s, the band has scored 50 singles in the UK charts throughout its expansive career, plus enormous acclaim on a global scale. Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to 70 million record sales, Ali Campbell is back and bringing reggae cheer into the world. Building on a legacy that dates back 45 years to inner-city Birmingham, singer and guitarist Ali’s touring ensemble remains the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises. And now their legend continues, as UB40 featuring Ali Campbell remain a show-stopping headline act, who are not to be missed at Rock Oyster next summer.
