Rockabilly in the Park The Houndogs Kick Off Oakham's Summer Concert Season
Dust off your picnic blankets and put on your dancing shoes! Oakham’s much-loved "Bands in the Park" concert series is officially back at Cutts Close Park for the summer.
To kick off the sunny season with a serious bang, the incredibly popular rockabilly outfit The Houndogs will be taking over the Queen Elizabeth II Bandstand this Sunday, 21st June 2026
If you’ve never seen The Houndogs live, you are in for a treat. Known for their electrifying stage presence and wild antics, this rockabilly powerhouse doesn't just play music they put on an unforgettable show.
Expect a fast-paced, high-energy mix of 1950s rock 'n' roll classics alongside their own roaring tracks. Between the slapping double bass, driving rhythms, and crowd-pleasing showmanship, they have a reputation for getting the entire park up on their feet and dancing.
Organised and funded by Oakham Town Council, the Bands in the Park series is a staple of the local summer calendar, bringing fantastic community spirit to the heart of Rutland.
The best part? The event is completely free to attend
