Henry Rollins, the former Black Flag frontman, has been added to the bill of this year’s Rebellion Festival in Blackpool.
The punk rock legend will bring his renowned spoken word show to day two of the festival, which returns to the Winter Gardens over four days from 3-6 August.
“I’m looking forward to being part of Rebellion Festival this year,” says Rollins. “I will be on my own, no band, just me speaking. Perhaps the lowest-volume performance of the entire event!”
That said, Rollins brings the same intensity to his spoken word performances as he did to fronting a band, so expect the delivery to still be extreme.
This is a man who can perform a three-hour talk without so much as a sip of water and will keep you engaged throughout.
Rollins joins headliners The Damned, New Model Army and Steel Pulse for what is one of the most eclectic Rebellion Festival line-ups so far. Other highlights include Descendents, Big Country, The Exploited, Neville Staple from The Specials, Die Toten Hosen, The Only Ones, and The Dickies.
They join a host of vibrant new talent as Rebellion Festival continues to champion exciting and fresh music including Bob Vylan, Lambrini Girls, I, Doris, Millie Manders & The Shutup, The Bar Stool Preachers, Pizza Tramp, Yur Mum and many more, with over 300 acts appearing in total.
