In July 1966 England were winning the World Cup. But history was also being made in Windsor where the first ever rock festival in Britain was being held. Some call it the first ever rock music festival in the world.

Now, five decades later, homage is being paid to that festival. A special anniversary concert – On Track For Summer – is being held at the same venue, the Royal Windsor Racecourse, over the weekend of July 23 and July 24.

This summer concert goers are being encouraged to dress in the style of the times and be dedicated followers of a time of freedom and abandon...to make it a real 50th birthday party!

While Saturday July 23 is dedicated to the original artists who made it all happen, Sunday July 24 sees a more contemporary concert. A chance to simply enjoy and celebrate the Summer of 2016.

However, there is more to the weekend than just nostalgia, good vibes and terrific music. Funds are also being raised in support of Macmillan Cancer Support to help ensure no one faces cancer alone.

Opening Times: Both days start at 12 noon and events finish at 10.30pm.

Camping: No camping at this event – check out our ‘Find Nearby Hotels’ tab for other options.
