Teddy Rocks 2020 postponed until September with new dates announced

Teddy Rocks Festival, which was due to take place in aid of charity from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd May 2020, at Charisworth Farm, Blandford Forum, Dorset, with headliners The Amazons, and The Fratellis, has postponed until September.

The whole purpose of Teddy Rocks Festival is to support children fighting cancer, and the festival hosts a lot of children who are undergoing treatment for cancer to the event so they can escape and try to forget about their illness for that day. The festival feels it is very important to eliminate any risk to these children and any vulnerable people that attend their event. 

New dates have been announced for Friday 18th until Sunday 20th September 2020 with tickets remaining valid for the new dates. The festival hopes that ticket holders will keep their tickets to support the festival though this crisis.

The festival is currently working with the acts it has booked and hopes to keep the same line-up but inevitably there may be some changes.
