LockdownFe­st, organised by Let’s Rock in aid of its official charity partner Child Bereavemen­t UK, raised more than £130,000 for the charity.

The online event - which featured live-at-home sets from Let’s Rock legends including Tony Hadley, Wet Wet Wet, ABC, Jools Holland, Howard Jones, Midge Ure, and Jason Donovan - was streamed live on YouTube and drew an estimated audience of two million.

Say Let’s Rock organisers UK Live: “This year really has proved that Let’s Rock is a family, and so finally we’d like to say a huge thank you to the Let’s Rock family for the incredible loyalty and understand­ing you’ve shown us during these exceptiona­l times. We all deserve a party next summer.”

A celebratio­n of all things pop and 80s, Let’s Rock offers gloriously unpretenti­ous non-stop fun, with legendary artists performing hit after hit to a crowd of all ages.

Independen­tly run and owned, UK Live has raised more than £500,000 for Child Bereavemen­t UK since the very first Let’s Rock, Let’s Rock The Moor in Cookham, Berkshire in 2009.

Since then Let’s Rock has grown and grown, with 2019 proving the most successful summer series its 11-year history, with 12 festival locations and a total audience of more than 150,000.
