Rock n Ribs Festival – Coming to the Bath & West Showground!

We're excited to welcome the Rock n Ribs Festival to Bath & West Showground from 17th to 19th July 2026, a three-day celebration of American-inspired fun, food, music and entertainment in the heart of Somerset.

Rock n Ribs is one of the UK's most talked-about Americana festivals and brings together smokehouse BBQ, rock & country music, monster trucks, family-friendly activities and more across three unforgettable days. Expect live music from top bands, monster truck shows, tailgating and USA-style vehicles, wrestling, line dancing and BMX stunts, eating contests, plus plenty of food stalls serving legendary smoked ribs, brisket, burgers, hot dogs and more BBQ favourites.

This year's festival also features new experiences like Geezer's Palace, a Las Vegas-style entertainment area with tribute acts, close-up magic, fun casino games, karaoke and drag queen bingo, and Billy Bob's Woods, where campers can enjoy late-night campfire sessions deep into the night.

Whether you're into great food, live music, family fun, American vehicles or just good times with friends, Rock n Ribs promises something for everyone right here at Bath & West Showground.
