The "largest rock festival" to ever come to Croydon is nearly here.

Local business owners Richie Hudson and Pete Wall wanted to inject some life back into Croydon's rock scene.

With the recent opening of Croydon's TMRW venue, they decided to put their ideas into practice and give Croydon its first Rock Festival in 2017.

"We are organizing the largest rock festival Croydon has ever seen to bring live music back to the borough and place it firmly at the top of the UK ?s rock music mountain," Mr Hudson said.

"We want to give local, national and international artists a place to show off their untapped talent, and also a chance for people to explore and experience live music and good times."

The line-up for the two day event features acts such as The Ramonas, Warrior Soul, a range of local acts and a few more international artists.

The festival will start on Saturday, December 2 and continue on the Sunday.
