TEDDY Rocks Festival 2022 is starting today with a line up including: Eagles of Death Metal and The Fratellis, along with Terrorvision, Newton Faulkner, Dub War, The Skints, A and more.

The festival will be taking place in Charisworth Farm in Blandford, Dorset from April 29 to May 1.

A spokesperson from the festival said: "Teddy Rocks was forced to move to 2022 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The safety and well being of our audience, crew, and performers are of paramount importance.

"Being a children’s cancer charity, our event brings a lot of young people who are fighting the disease to have a good time and we cannot risk their health.

"We are delighted, however, to announce that most of our announced lineup for 2020/2021 will be with us in 2022."

Teddy Rocks festival director, Tom Newton, said: “We are so excited to finally be able to celebrate Teddy Rocks this year.

"We have survived brexit, and a pandemic, and we are still here ready to lead the charge in raising money for children with cancer.

"Teddy Rocks is more determined than ever to do good with an army of people to help get it over the line. Grab a ticket today and join the fight.

"We want to say a massive thank you to anybody who has already purchased tickets before and during these unprecedented times.

"It really has kept us motivated and driven and reminds us that not only are we able to help children with cancer and their families, but we also provide local musicians with a platform and give young people the opportunity to share stages with bands that they aspire to. We simply cannot do this without you.”

As previously announced, there will be over 100 acts performing across the weekend with 4 stages, outdoor bars, incredible food stalls, and lots of family-friendly activities. There will also be Teddy Raves - an area that will feature the best in Trance, Dance and Drum ‘n Bass.
