In a little over 50 days, Blackpool’s annual Punk Festival will see thousands of fans from all over the world, descend on the seaside town. A much loved date in the calendar, not just for the boost to the local economy, but for the colourful characters who make it so spectacular each August!
Between now and 3rd August, Backseat Mafia will be giving you the lowdown on 50 of the lesser known acts to watch out for this year! Stay tuned punk rockers! As Joe Strummer once said, “don’t touch that dial”.
Held across four days from the 3rd to 6th of August at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, Rebellion Festival, respected the world over for bringing together the best new and iconic punk and alternative bands annually, it’s now that exciting time to start planning and working out what bands you want to see as all stages and band times have been announced.
Who gets ten minutes before you dash off to another venue or celebrate that you can see everyone you want or kick off that there’s a clash of your favourite bands. It’s the nature of the beast folks!
In the coming weeks there will be spreadsheets, clashfinders and other kind people posting their ways of displaying and seeing the many bands.

Since its original inception in 1996 as the then named Holidays In The Sun festival, Rebellion has always aimed to bring together the best punk and alternative music from across the globe, and is still a family-run, family-orientated event that celebrates punk in all its forms. 2023 is without doubt, one of the strongest line-ups yet.
