Boom Rock is a UK rock radio station from the Boom Radio family, created for listeners who want more than a safe, over-played classic rock playlist. Its sound reaches into album rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, folk rock, new wave and West Coast favourites, giving the station a broader and more adventurous feel than many mainstream rock formats.
The station is strongest when it leans into music discovery and memory at the same time. Boom Rock can move from familiar guitar-driven classics into deeper cuts, longer album tracks and songs with real heritage, which makes it a strong fit for listeners who grew up with rock radio, LP collections, late-night album shows and presenters who knew the records rather than just the running order.
Boom Rock launched as part of the wider Boom Radio family and keeps the same presenter-led spirit, but with a tougher, guitar-focused edge. The station suits fans of classic rock history, progressive sounds, folk-rock storytelling, bluesy tracks, new wave energy and the kind of rock radio that treats the music as something worth talking about, not just something to fill space.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Nicky Horne: A major name in UK rock radio, linked with Boom Rock's rock programming and known for deep music knowledge, album tracks and classic rock presentation.
- Gary Burton: Presents on Boom Rock, with Boom describing his show as a companion for the morning built around the music.
- Roger Day: Presents on Boom Rock on Sunday morning, bringing decades of radio experience and a strong connection to classic and offshore radio heritage.
- Rod Whiting: Listed by Boom Rock as one of the station's presenters, adding another experienced voice to the rock-focused schedule.
- Paul Robinson: Listed by Boom Rock as one of its presenters and part of the station's specialist rock line-up.
