Set in the beautiful grounds of Rochester Castle in Medway, Kent, Rochester Castle Live, is truly one of a kind. Strategically placed astride the London Road, guarding an important crossing of the River Medway, this imposing fortress that provides an epic backdrop to the concerts has a complex history which dates back to the 12th century.
Bringing the location bang up to date though, Rochester Castle has played host to a fantastic, eclectic array of musical artists including Van Morrison, Jools Holland, Soul II Soul, The Libertines, Craig David, Level 42, Wet Wet Wet, Status Quo, Will Young, Billy Ocean, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and crowd favourites UB40 who have sold out no less than 3 concerts here.
