Rebellion Festivals Limited - XMAS 2019
Thursday 6th - Sunday 9th August 2020
The Winter Gardens, Blackpool, UK
SEASONS GREETINGS!!
Hope you’ve all been well behaved this year and that you’re on Santa’s ‘good list’! Merry Christmas from all of us at REBELLION HQ. Have a cracking day tomorrow. Here’s a quick round up of the latest news to end 2019....
RECENT ADDITIONS
There’s been some great additions recently and as usual they range from US bands, UK ’77 bands, Anarcho bands, a whole host of last year’s REBELLION INTRODUCING BANDS being rebooked and many more. A few to highlight that you may have missed – Firstly, we were super excited to confirm that we’ve booked the CIRCLE JERKS. They will be Special Guests to BAD RELIGION on Thursday in the Empress Ballroom. This is the first time they’ve been to the UK since 1987 and that gig was also put on by our very own Daz Russell! This is one of only 2 UK gigs they’re doing, so don’t expect to see them anywhere else. Rebellion is the place to be for this if you’re in the UK! Also joining them on what’s shaping up to be an amazing Thursday is ANTI FLAG
 
Our Friday night OPERA headliners are the TOM ROBINSON BAND, another first for us as Tom has not played before. We also recently confirmed another ‘first’ and that was the return of HONEY BANE. Other bands recently added include THE REZILLOS, ADOLESCENTS, THE MOB, RANDOM HAND, NO FUN AT ALL, STRUNG OUT, THE PACK.
 
These join an already amazing line up including: BAD RELIGION, STIFF LITTLE FINGERS, SHAM 69, THE UNDERTONES, PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT, THE ADICTS and a very special set by STEVE IGNORANT playing CRASS songs. We’re up to 192 bands booked so far. We’ve included an A-Z list at the end of this newsletter so you can easily check if your favourite band is booked yet!
DAY TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
You can now buy day tickets and prices have been held from this year. Each day will cost you £65.

SPOTIFY
The wonderful Viki Vortex has been attempting to create a SPOTIFY playlist so you can get in the mood and check out this years bookings. Always fraught with danger! Wrong bands tagged or people inevitably saying 'why didn't you choose song X or Y! Plus not everyone is on SPOTIFY!! But still, this is a sizeable playlist now so check it out!!
 
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Lots more exciting news to come as the festival takes shape in the new year. For now, we just want to say a massive THANK YOU for supporting our family run event. We hope that however you celebrate the holiday season and whoever you share it with, that you have fun and stay safe.
 
We're off to pinch the sherry and mince pie from that pirate that visits tonight!
 
See you in 2020.
 
Love from
TEAM REBELLION x
