Blackpool 1996 saw the very first HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN festival. Since then we've been to MORECAMBE had a name change to WASTED and taken our festival around the world to The Netherlands, Ireland, Australia, USA, Japan, Germany, Italy, Basque and Austria. There was always a danger of being just a retro festival with ever decreasing attendances so 2007 saw the launch of REBELLION. Taking our established Punk festival with all the bands we love and want to see year on year and combining it with the best of the new breed, widening the scope to include many sub genres and the 'alternative' scene in general, we're proud to have an event that we feel has a true festival spirit. We've added Punk Art exhibitions, Acoustic Stages, Poetry, Vintage Clothing, Tattooists, Healing workshops and much more. The Rebellion Introducing Stage has been a real success giving new bands, and new-to-us bands a platform and some are invited back the following year to play on one of the bigger stages.
At our heart we're still a Punk festival and we're lucky that we're still 100% Independent and a true D.I.Y. family run event.
Daily and weekend tickets available to purchase at the box office.
