Rebellion Festival’s 30th anniversary will be taking place this summer!
The festival will be held at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens between August 6-9.
“Goodness, 30 years! Over half our lives doing the thing we love most,” exclaims festival organiser Jennie Russell-Smith.
“We just can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary with everyone this year. We’re working hard to make sure it’s a wonderful year for all of our supporters old and new. Going into it on the back of two sold out years is both exciting and challenging but as usual we’re going to put the best festival possible on (as we try to every year).
“We’ve tried to include as many bands as possible who’ve really become part of the fabric and family of Rebellion.
“Stiff little Fingers, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, The Stranglers, The Bar Stool Preachers, Die Toten Hosen, UK Subs, Cockney Rejects, Slaughter and the Dogs etc, too many to mention them all but they know who they are.
“Diversity and up and coming bands are always foremost in our thoughts so it’s great to have
Millie Manders and the Shutup, Maid of Ace, Split Dogs etc to celebrate with us.
“Most of all we’re looking forward to seeing the people that support us year in year out, there’d be no Rebellion without them and we appreciate them massively.”
They are joined by: Skids, Buzzcocks, Ferocious Dog, Spear Of Destiny, Ricky Warwick, The Godfathers, Subhumans, Scream, Anti-Nowhere League, Penetration, Bow Wow Wow, Ruts DC, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Adolescents, UK Subs, Discharge, The Chameleons, Au Pairs, The Courettes, The Kids, Riskee and the Ridicule, GBH, and The Dickies.
