Rebellion Festival’s organisers are pulling out all the stops by adding a new event, R-FEST, to their usual four days of punk rock mayhem in Blackpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

R-FEST is a new outdoor event, which will take place in front of Blackpool Tower from August 4 to 7, 2022, a few minutes’ walk from the main festival at the Winter Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebellion is already the biggest punk and alternative festival in the world, and after two blank years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s coming back with a bang in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organisers are building an arena with the sea on one side and the town on the other, with a capacity for 15,000 punters and space for bars, food, and band merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While staying true to the punk and alternative roots of Rebellion Festival, R-FEST looks to broaden the scope of artists playing to include acts who had their origins in alternative music but went on to achieve huge mainstream success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levellers, The Stranglers, Gary Numan and Squeeze are all set to take headline positions, and the following stage line-up has been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"R-FEST\"
The Stranglers will headline R-FEST in Blackpool seafront on the Friday.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 6th August:<\/strong> Gary Numan, Peter Hook & The Light, Pop Will Eat Itself, Spear Of Destiny, Chameleons, Primitives, Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organiser Jennie Russell-Smith said: \u201cAt last! After the long delays and world craziness we are absolutely delighted to give you the full R-FEST line up for 2022 – apart from one special guest slot that will be worth waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It has not been easy to pull all of these amazing bands together for four days, many bands are still rescheduling shows from 2020, but we are all incredibly excited for our first ever R-FEST line up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Four days of bands in the incredible Headland Arena, with the Tower and Winter Gardens on one side and the Irish Sea on the other! It\u2019s going to be amazing!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"R-FEST\"

R-FEST is a standalone festival and day tickets are \u00a350 per day. However, if you are a Rebellion weekend or day ticket holder your ticket will get into R-FEST free of charge! R-FEST is all ages and re-entry will be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebellion Festival itself will be hosting some of the best punk bands from around the world in 2022, with the likes of Sham 69, Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, Cock Sparrer and Stiff Little Fingers already confirmed to play the Winter Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
