WinterStorm, one of the UK’s most loved independent classic rock festivals, is thrilled to announce that public tickets are now on sale for its landmark tenth anniversary event, Storm Force X. The three-day celebration will take place from Thursday 26th to Saturday 28th November in the seaside town of Troon, on Scotland’s stunning west coast.
Since debuting in 2016, WinterStorm has grown into a bucket-list weekend for rock fans across the UK and beyond, combining a unique atmosphere with a hand-picked lineup of rock icons, rising stars and cult favourites. The anniversary edition promises to honour a decade of unforgettable music and community spirit, bringing back fan favourites alongside exclusive first-time appearances.
Festival Director Ian McCaig said, “Reaching ten years is an incredible milestone. Storm Force X is our thank-you to the thousands who’ve braved the winds, seaside air and late nights with us. This year will celebrate every moment that’s made WinterStorm special.”
The pre-sale tickets topped out at over four-hundred, and this is as fast an advance sale as the event has witnessed in its decade-long history. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early, as demand is expected to exceed previous years. All tickets bought before the end of January benefit from the unique “Line-Up Refund Guarantee”, which ensures that should the line-up announcement not suit the ticket holder’s taste, a refund will be made available.
Further announcements, including lineup reveals, fringe events and merchandise launches will follow in the coming weeks and months. Please keep an eye on our official website and Facebook pages for the most recent updates.
