Rockaway Park is excited that Bristol-based promotions group, Shitty Futures (SF), are hosting another all-day punk gig at Rockaway on Saturday 17th August. They’ve invited 14 of the best contemporary international and UK DIY punk bands to join us across two stages – our open-air stage and the main shed - for what promises to be another fantastic Rockaway event!
The first Unrest in 2023 sold out with over 300 people jumping around to some incredible bands, and we're hoping to repeat that success in 2024.
The Vegan Café will be serving hot food and snacks throughout the day and there's a bar, plus a distro market, activist stalls, chill-out space and more...
