As Rebellion Festival returns to Blackpool for its 9th edition Getintothis’ Vicky Pea reaches for her sewing kit.
The world’s largest independent punk and alternative music festival takes over Blackpool for 4 days next week.
Rebellion Festival has a reputation for gathering the very best on punk rock all in one place. With no sub-genre left out you can expect to see anarcho bands rubbing shoulders with acts from ’77 punk explosion, Oi bands skanking alongside street punk outfits and a new breed of young punks ready to make their own mark.
