REBELLION AMSTERDAM is squeezing everything that's great about Blackpool (the bands and the diversity - not the stag dos!) into a One Day festival at the Melkweg in Amsterdam on Saturday 22nd March 2014.
Rather than just importing a bunch of UK bands, this time the festival see's bands from all over Europe including Holland, Germany, Czech, Belgium, France, Italy and Poland joining UK Punk legends such as THE DAMNED, COCK SPARRER, 999 etc.
As usual there's something for everyone with many genres of Punk catered for. If you like your Street Punk / Oi then there's COCK SPARRER, DISCIPLINE, GIMP FIST, GEOFFREY OiCOTT, LIONS LAW, MARTENS ARMY, SAINTS & SINNERS etc. Punk Rock is catered for with the likes of THE DAMNED, 999, GOLDBLADE, DEPARTMENT S, BRAINS ALL GONE, THE FUZZBRATS etc.... Want a thrashier edge? Check out FUNERAL DRESS or DISTURBANCE. Want something heavier - we've got KRAWALLBRUDER. Chuck in some punky reggae / dub with RUTS DC and some anarcho with Crass's STEVE IGNORANT and you can see there's a pretty healthy mix.
There's an acoustic stage too with artists such as LOUISE DISTRAS, TV SMITH (The Adverts), NICK CASH (999), ALEX MAIORANO, EFA SUPERTRAMP + a few more to still be booked....
So if you're looking for something to kick start your year then join the Rebellion Family in the square for a pint and the Melkweg for a dance!
With just over 5 weeks to go there's still time to book your tickets and travel. More info can be found below.
Plus a few recent updates on Blackpool including the first round of bands confirmed for the new band stage.
Read on and enjoy!
