Frequencies & locations:

- Digital – Radio X Classic Rock is a digital Radio X spin-off service focused on classic rock music and legendary guitar anthems.
Radio X Classic Rock focuses on the big names and big riffs that shaped classic rock radio. The station’s sound is built around legendary artists, powerful guitar tracks, stadium-sized choruses and songs that have lasted across generations, with a strong fit for listeners searching for classic rock, rock radio, 70s rock and 80s rock.
The station launched in February 2023 as a full-time digital home for classic rock within the Radio X network. Its music lane sits apart from the main Radio X service: less new indie and alternative discovery, more timeless rock from artists such as Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Blondie, Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen.
As part of the wider Radio X family, Radio X Classic Rock keeps the guitar-led attitude but sharpens the focus around heritage rock. It is a better fit for listeners who want riffs, drums, solos and classic rock energy without waiting for those songs to appear between newer indie or alternative tracks.
