The countdown to Cyprus Rocks Festival 2026, “Where Rock Legends Live On”, is officially on, with just two weeks to go until the festival returns to Protaras from 1 to 6 October. At the heart of this year’s festival is Trinity Beach, where the Main Stage will host three consecutive nights of live rock from Friday, October 2 to Sunday, October 4, 2026, featuring nine established tribute acts from the UK.
For three days, Trinity Beach will provide a spectacular setting for live rock by the sea, with the Main Stage just metres from the water, offering a great selection of street food and bar facilities available throughout the festival. PIKLA Purely Cypriot Street Food and Asian Wox – Asian cuisine will be serving up a variety of delicious food options, while the KEO bar will keep festivalgoers refreshed with local beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks and water.
Three nights, nine tribute acts
Over three nights, Trinity Beach will bring together rock fans from Cyprus and abroad, with live music set against the coastal backdrop of Protaras. Separate day tickets are available for each Main Stage night, allowing audiences to choose a particular evening or enjoy the full three-night programme.

A rock weekend in Protaras
The three Main Stage nights give audiences the flexibility to enjoy a single evening of live rock or make a weekend of it in Protaras.

Each night brings its own distinct musical character, celebrating the music of some of the most recognisable names in international rock.
