Highlights from Marillion Weekend 2025

frank short

Here are some more awesome ROCKAOKE highlights from this year’s Marillion Weekender! These include Marillion’s manager Lucy joining us onstage to unleash her inner rock queen!

It’s been such a privilege to have been a part of these magical music events hosted by Marillion over the past 10 years. It all started back in 2015 when we were asked to come out and play at their Weekender at Port Zelande in the Netherlands, and we’ve been playing the late night/early morning after-shows ever since.

It’s looking like this year’s weekend may have been the final one ever, so we had to make sure it went out with a big bang! But, as James Bond would say, never say never again…

Who would have thought doing a Live Band Music Quiz, Live Band Bingo and ROCKAOKE on a bank holiday weekend in Warrington would have been this much fun…..?

…….Well actually we did which is why when Neighbourhood Weekender 2025 asked us to take care of all the entertainment in the Neighbourhood Inn, we duly obliged!!

STEVOFEST – a private family festival in the country

frank short

How to put on a landmark birthday bash…

STEVOFEST was a large scale private festival to celebrate a landmark birthday in 2017. We think it went so well that they decided to run the whole thing again in 2019. ROCKAOKE were invited to appear at both events.

The events management team were asked to create one family’s very own Glastonbury. With input from the family, the events team managed to do just that. A large scale full-on festival with lots of great bands, artists, food & drink and other great attractions. A key part of the family’s requirements, ROCKAOKE were last band on the main stage on the saturday night. Allowing the birthday boy and his family and friends to literally headline their own festival.

There is a really cool highlights movie below. ROCKAOKE clips start around 06:30. Also a ROCKAOKE photo gallery featuring some great action and epic stage dives!

Goose Island’s Hop Party

jonny

In september 2019, ROCKAOKE opened the show for Blossoms, Shame and Park Hotel at Goose Island‘s Hop Party @ Oval Space in London.

NME blogged about the event.

“Goose Island’s Hop Party had it all. From fantastic beers and ales, to an exciting twist on karaoke and some of the biggest and best bands in the country, it was quite the exclamation point to round out a summer of great parties.”

“Over in the The Wingman, attendees could take part in a bit of Rockaoke – it’s like karaoke, but instead of naff backing-track and a bewildered audience, there’s a full-live band to singalong with and an eager crowd helping you, too.”

In Bitter Sweet Symphonies, Amy Butcher did a review of the event and said some nice things about ROCKAOKE.

“Before the bands were set to play, I wandered around basking in the sunshine, sipping on my Blossoms SK-Brew to find Rockaoke in action. Now, before this day, I had only heard wonderful things about this act, and yes Rockaoke is definitely an act in itself. Performing karaoke gets kicked up a notch when you’re given the chance to play with a live band and there’s also a crowd cheering you on – this was the perfect way to warm up before settling into a night of live bands.”
