“We have now carried out five successful ‘Let’s Rock’ events out of the nine planned events for 2021. It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t make all of the locations work for 2021 but we will be back in full spirit for 2022.”
She added that the team had been ‘overwhelmed’ by the support for the festival and thanked supporters for the co-operation in the runup to the event.
“The entire Let’s Rock team including all the artists, musicians, crew, backstage and volunteers have worked tirelessly with us to make sure we can still deliver the 2021 events as and where we are permitted to do so and as safe as possible for everyone in attendance,” said Natalie.
“For me personally, it’s seeing the joy on people’s faces again – smiling, dancing and generally just having an amazing time.”
Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to avoid missing any of the live action, the running order of which will be revealed on the day of the festival.
Tickets will not be available on the gate, and re-entry will only be available for parents/guardians accompany children under the age of 16.
