About our Rock news

Latest news on rock music, from classic and indie to metal and punk, covering bands, albums, tours, festivals and industry updates across the genre's diverse spectrum.

Rock music remains one of the most influential and diverse genres in the world, encompassing everything from stadium-filling arena rock to underground indie scenes. With millions of dedicated fans globally and an industry worth over £50 billion annually, rock continues to evolve while maintaining its rebellious spirit and raw energy.

The contemporary rock landscape sees established acts sharing stages with emerging talent, as streaming platforms and social media democratise the genre. Major festivals like Reading and Leeds, Download, and Glastonbury showcase rock's enduring appeal, while independent venues continue nurturing grassroots scenes. Recent trends show a resurgence in guitar-driven music, with new bands blending traditional rock elements with modern production techniques.

Local rock scenes thrive in cities worldwide, with community radio stations, independent record shops, and small venues playing crucial roles in supporting emerging artists. Fan communities remain deeply passionate, from vinyl collectors to concert-goers, while rock music's influence extends into fashion, art, and popular culture. Digital platforms have created new ways for fans to connect with their favourite artists, though many still cherish the authentic experience of live performances.

Since its emergence in the 1950s, rock music has continuously transformed, from the British Invasion of the 1960s to the punk revolution of the 1970s, through grunge in the 1990s and alternative rock in the 2000s. Each era has contributed to rock's rich tapestry, influencing contemporary artists who continue pushing boundaries while respecting the genre's foundations.

Our NewsNow feed brings you the latest rock music coverage from trusted sources worldwide, keeping you informed about new releases, tour announcements, band news, and festival updates.
