Rebellion Festival in Blackpool is the highlight of the year for any self-respecting punk music fan. Here\u2019s nine acts I\u2019ll be making sure I check out at this year\u2019s event, from runs from August 1,2,3,4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kickback\nGeneration<\/strong> are an old-school political punk trio from the North East of\nEngland with a fine line in working class anthems with catchy choruses. They\nmade their Rebellion debut two years on the Introducing stage, and as they make\na welcome return this year, it\u2019s been picked as the launch gig for their third\nalbum, Stand By You. They\u2019re on at noon on Thursday in the Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bar\nStool Preachers<\/strong> were the main beneficiaries of gobshite Geldof\u2019s rant about \u2018black\nT-shirts with shit bands on\u2019 in 2015, as fans deserted the Empress Ballroom in\ndroves to pack out their set next door. Since then they\u2019ve released two excellent\nalbums of ska-inflected street punk, and they\u2019re unmissable live. Catch them in\nthe Empress at 5.15pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear<\/strong> are\none of the big US bands who the organisers have managed to snag this year, and\ntheir midnight set in Club Casbah on Thursday is on many people\u2019s must-see\nlists after they had to cancel in 2016. It\u2019s the first and only UK appearance\nof a band who are credited with helping to shape the sound and style of Californian\nhardcore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gimp\nFist <\/strong>are Rebellion regulars, and with good reason. The North East\nstreet punks regularly pack out whatever stage they\u2019re playing with fans of\ntheir infectious working class anthems. Their set doubles as the album release\ngig for new record Blood, so it should be a cracker. They\u2019re in the Empress Ballroom\nat 3.30pm on Friday. See you down the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nBusiness Event <\/strong>is the not-to-be-missed set in the Empress Ballroom at 8.10pm\non Saturday. It\u2019s basically a tribute to Micky Fitz, frontman with the\nhugely-influential South London Oi! band The Business, who died in 2016. Original\nmembers Steve Whale, Steve Kent and Micky Fairbairn will reunite once\nmore, with a list of guest singers, to pay tribute to their old friend by\nrevisiting some of the band\u2019s finest moments from the last 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saturday night is looking like a big old Cockney knees up,\nbecause after The Business Event you\u2019ve got Cockney Rejects<\/strong>, followed by Cock\nSparrer<\/strong>. The Rejects have been at it for 30 years now, and Sparrer for 47,\nand if you haven\u2019t seen either of them before, you\u2019ve got to ask where you\u2019ve\nbeen hiding. On the off-chance this is true, if streetpunk is your thing this\nis a chance to put it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snakerattlers\n<\/strong>are a husband and wife duo from York who were formerly in\ngarage-punk band The Franceens. Dan and Naomi combine rockabilly, garage, trash\nand greaser rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, which results in an uncompromising yet mesmerising set\nof raw, erratic power. They make their Rebellion debut on the Arena\nstage at 1.05pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty of big names to look out for on Sunday, but Birmingham five-piece The Liarbilitys <\/strong>probably won\u2019t be on too many people\u2019s radar. Check them out in the Arena at 4.15pm and I can guarantee you\u2019ll be impressed. Their debut album Antagonisms was one of the best I heard last year, and you\u2019ll be singing their best song, Two Against One, long after you\u2019ve gone home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that supporting punk music isn’t just for one weekend a year though. Many of these bands on the bill are gigging up and down the country every week, most of them just about covering their petrol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to see them at your local venues, buy their merch, have a beer with them. You never, know, you could be hanging out with the Rebellion headliners of 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
