Have you got your ticket for the year's biggest punk event yet? Now punk icon Henry Rollins is announced as a guest, what more do you need?
That’s right, Black Flag icon, actor, writer and all round punk legend Henry Rollins is going to be beside the seaside when he joins the Rebellion Fest line up for 2023!
It is already another incredible line up this year with Rollins joining the likes of The Damned, New Model Army, Descendents, Die Toten Hosen and The Dickies amongst many, many others!
Taking place right at the beginning of August, it’s a great way of welcoming the Summer on the Blackpool promenade!
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.
And Rollins seems ready and raring to go with Rebellion being one of numerous stops he is making during an epic year of touring with his spoken word show.
“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. Don’t forget, 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.
Day and Weekend tickets are available and on sale now! It is sure to be such a huge event, you don’t wanna miss it! Get your tickets HERE.
