Cyprus Rocks Festival 2026 Brings Legendary Rock Tribute Bands to Protaras Coastline
The Cyprus Rocks Festival 2026 returns to Trinity Beach in Protaras from October 2 to 4, featuring nine UK tribute acts honoring iconic rock bands such as AC/DC, Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters, and more. Set against the picturesque Mediterranean coast, the festival offers three nights of live performances just meters from the sea, combining summer’s warmth with the energy of classic rock music.
Beyond the music, festivalgoers will enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with local street food from PIKLA, Asian cuisine from Asian Wox, and beverages from the KEO bar—all conveniently located at the beach venue. The festival kicks off with tributes to Motörhead, Foo Fighters, and AC/DC on October 2, followed by 80s rock anthems from Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, and Guns N’ Roses on October 3, and closes with performances celebrating Status Quo, The Who, and Queen on October 4.
Since its inception in 2017, Cyprus Rocks has become a favorite among international rock fans, especially from the UK, extending the island’s holiday season with live music. The wider festival program runs from October 1 to 6, including welcome and farewell parties, providing a full week of rock and cultural celebration in Protaras.
