Rebellion Festival

Rebellion Festival is held every year inside the historic Winter Gardens in Blackpool over four days in early August, and bills itself as the world's largest independent punk festival. Up to seven music stages, plus an acoustic stage, a literary stage and a punk art gallery, host more than 300 bands spanning classic punk, glam rock and newer alternative scenes. Family run and true to its roots, it draws an international community of regulars who treat it as an annual punk pilgrimage.
