Mark your calendars for a musical treat this Easter weekend with the Malvern Rocks Easter Surprise, a three-day musical celebration happening on April 18th, 19th, and 20th! This special event is a fundraiser for Malvern Rocks 2025, our big showcase of musical talent happening August 1st-3rd, 2025. We’re bringing live music to four brilliant venues: Malvern Lounge, The Three Horseshoes, The Red Lion in Cradley, and The Morgan. Three of these spots are well-loved Malvern pubs, while the Red Lion adds a touch of Cradley charm to the lineup. Best of all, as with all Malvern Rocks events, every gig is free to enter, so come enjoy the tunes and join the fun!
The Malvern Rocks Easter Surprise isn’t just about the music—though the lineup is stellar—it’s also a chance to grab some exclusive festival merch! We’ll be selling brand-new t-shirts featuring the Malvern Rocks 2025 logo, along with badges and wristbands to show your support. Look out for QR codes and collection boxes at each venue, helping us raise funds to pay our talented artists and crew for the summer festival.
Here’s the plan:
And, while you’re here, consider this a callout to all musicians! Malvern Rocks 2025 is on the horizon, and we’re on the hunt for artists of all genres to join the lineup. Whether you’re into rock, folk, punk, jazz, or anything in between, we want to hear from you.
Applications are open now and close on May 11th, 2025—so don’t wait! Head to https://malvern.rocks/apply-to-play-at-malvern-rocks/ for more info and to submit your application. This is your chance to be part of a festival that’s all about showcasing talent and bringing music to the heart of Malvern. With a lineup spanning every musical genre known to man, there’s something for everyone.
At its heart, Malvern Rocks is about celebrating music, musicians, and the audiences who love them. This Easter weekend delivers that spirit in spades, with a diverse mix of acts lighting up venues across Malvern and Cradley, all free to enjoy. Whether you’re there to discover a new favourite band, snag some exclusive gear, or simply soak up the vibe, it’s going to be a fabulous few days.
