Music has been around for centuries and decades, even dating back to the prehistoric period. Back in the 50s and the 60s, the music was centred on the cultural changes and the societal norms of the past. Music was carefully created back then, and it took a couple of days, weeks, or even months to compose a song and create an album, as they didn’t have the best equipment then.
Cooly Rocks On™ is a celebration of the 50s and 60s – the music, culture, and the people. The festival will feature vintage cars, classical music, dancing, and activities that you and your family could enjoy. It will happen on the 7th all throughout the 11th of June, and you can expect a lineup that is studded with classic rock’n’roll bands.
