Cancer On The Rocks Two Day Music Festival-Macmillan Benefit Fundraiser 2019

Written by Johnson Stephen on November 15, 2019

Cancer On The Rocks is a two day festival in aid of Macmillan Nurses and takes place for the first time this year in London at Bush Hall, 310 Uxbridge Rd, Shepherd’s Bush, London W12 7LJ on the 23rd and 24th November 2019.

The brainchild of Skyfire Records supremo Rick Palin, it has previously been staged successfully in the North. After moving his offices to London, however, it made sense for Skyfire to reroot it down South.

Explaining the reason behind the event Rick Palin said “We’ve all lost people we know to Cancer and Macmillan do an incredible job. I know first-hand from the support they gave my own family. I wanted to give something back. But Cancer On The Rocks is not just about fund-raising it is about celebrating life too. And what better medium to celebrate life with than music.”

Joining Headliners Romeo’s Daughter on the Saturday are upcoming rockers Collateral, Weapon UK, Gypsy’s Kiss and Blurred Vision.

Sunday’s bill comprises Piston, Joanofarc, Superfecta, Jessie Galante, Willie Bo Walker, Asif Outlaws, Lol Goodman, Found Missing and the award-winng Never The Bride. Topping the bill are special Headliners Ali Maas and Micky Moody (Whitesnake etc) while MC duties fall to DJ Darren Redick.

Tickets are on sale now from the venue and online at www.cancerontherocks.co.uk priced £30/Saturday and £30/Sunday, weekend tickets are £45. In addition, as a special introductory offer for this new festival, early bird purchasers of tickets will each receive a free COTR T-shirt.
