Where Whitebottom Farm, Etherow Country Park Compstall, Stockport
Firevolt 2026 is fast approaching and promises to be another pulsating weekend of face melting rock, delivering a diverse mix of epic rock music that satisfies both classic heads and the new generation, uniting legendary titans with the genre’s sharpest rising stars.
Now in its fifth year, the festival is a full-blown pilgrimage for lovers of all things loud. It has been steadily growing, attaining countless positive reviews including a recommendation from Classic Rock Magazine. Having a reputation for being one of the most laid-back and friendliest festivals around, there is a real sense of community spirit that goes beyond the stage. The event radiates warmth, camaraderie, and passion, where festivalgoers, volunteers, and organisers rally together with a shared love for rock, forging memories as unforgettable as the music.
The venue itself, Whitebottom Farm, is a stunning, picturesque pocket by Etherow Country Park – a hidden jewel of a site that has hosted multiple festivals over the past ten years. With killer tunes, local food and drink vendors, and unique stalls set against the backdrop of a stunning setting, it’s no wonder fans return year after year.
This year’s lineup punches with purpose with bands such as Mason Hill, Massive Wagons, The Wildhearts, Ricky Warwick & The Fighting Hearts, FM, Wednesday 13, The New Roses, Dare, These Wicked Rivers, Virginmarys and many more set to rock out this year. Firevolt continues to deliver yet another fantastic weekend of heavy rock that backdrops one of the most atmospheric festivals around.

Testimonials
“I will freely tell anyone who will listen that Firevolt has, within a very short space of time, become my favourite festival in the UK.” Get Ready To Rock
“The organisation by Stret & Bev and their team was once again superb.” Rockposer
“Set in the idyllic surroundings of Etherow Country Park, Firevolt has quickly established itself as a major player on the festival scene. Appearing as if by magic for the first time in 2022, organisers Stret and Bev have quickly built a loyal and growing following for this three day extravaganza which mixes established names from yesteryear with up and coming talent from the grassroots rock scene.” Emerging Rock Bands
“Firevolt is a great little festival, it is small enough to feel friendly and welcoming, but big enough to have a great mix of bands both new and established. They’re also not afraid to go out on a limb with something different to mix things up, something that is occasionally lacking on the rock scene. Shout out to the organisers and their crew of volunteers who work hard to make sure everything runs smoothly – absolute legends!” We Shoot Music
