3rd Annual St. Paddy’s RockFest in Cumming March 14; Start Time Disputed

The 3rd annual St. Paddy’s RockFest will take place at Lou Sobh Amphitheater in Cumming City Center on Saturday, March 14, 2026, with organizers and event pages promoting free admission and free parking. The City of Cumming event listing calls the festival “Free and open to the public!” while multiple event pages list local and regional bands playing 80s, 90s and 2000s-era rock.

Public listings diverge on when the all-day festival begins. Atlanta on the Cheap and several venue excerpts list live music from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Atlanta on the Cheap publishes a band schedule that opens at 11:00 a.m. with The Relics. AllEvents displays a summary card showing a 12:00 p.m. start and a “9 hours” duration, and some AllEvents venue copy also states “Live music from 11a-9p (band order and set times TBA).” Atlanta on the Cheap cautions: “NOTE: right now there are discrepancies between the info on the Facebook page and on the website. We have used info from the website, and we’ll clarify the exact details asap.”

The published lineups across listings include The Relics, Rhythm Major Band, Sorrow 2 Seven, 80HD and Jeremy Would Let Me Drown. Atlanta on the Cheap’s schedule lists set times as follows: 11:00 a.m. The Relics; 1:00 p.m. Rhythm Major Band; 3:00 p.m. Sorrow 2 Seven; 5:00 p.m. 80HD; 7:00 p.m. Jeremy Would Let Me Drown. AllEvents lists the same band names and genre descriptions but includes language that band order and set times remain TBA in some venue postings.

There is also a street-address discrepancy for Cumming City Center’s Lou Sobh Amphitheater: event pages alternate between 423 Canton Rd. and 432 Canton Rd. in Cumming. Venue listings on AllEvents show “423 Canton Rd., Cumming, GA,” while City of Cumming event entries and other venue content sometimes display 432 Canton Rd.

Vendors and beverages are part of the festival footprint in several listings. Atlanta on the Cheap states vendors and local artisans will be on site from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and notes, “There will be green beer and Irish cocktails to purchase.” AllEvents identifies the host as “Cumming City Center Market,” which suggests a marketplace presence but does not list specific vendors.

Attendee rules are cited verbatim on event pages: “No coolers, outside food, outside alcoholic beverages, cans, glass bottles, or smoking allowed.” Organizers also state, “Friendly dogs on-leash are welcome!” and urge guests to “BYO lawn chairs or blankets to sit on,” adding that “Tents are not allowed.” Venue safety copy requires attendees to stow balls before performances: “To ensure the safety and enjoyment of our patrons, it is required that all balls are stored away once the music starts. Any throwing or kicking of objects is strictly prohibited during the show.”

Presenter attributions differ across listings: several sources list Cumming City Center as presenter or host while Atlanta on the Cheap names The Well at Homestead as presenting the concert. Multiple event pages agree on the March 14 date, the Lou Sobh Amphitheater location and a lineup of five bands, but the inconsistent start time, street address and presenter credit remain unresolved on public listings. With vendors reported to operate 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and live music commonly reported through 9:00 p.m., plan arrival and logistics accordingly.
