Flashback will make its Rockingham debut this summer and although the event appears at the venue for the first time, this established festival has been running at other venues for the last seven years.

Along with an array of music, Flashback offers a range of other facilities such as camping, VIP camping, themed bars and a selection of food stalls to choose from.

But if the sun goes down and you are still in the mood to party then people can head over to the silent disco.

The silent disco phenomenon has taken the festival world by storm over recent years and can be found at most major festivals including Flashback Festival Rockingham.
