“I’m really looking forward to playing Rebellion for the very first time with The Professionals,” states drummer Paul Cook. “The band is on fire at the moment, and we can’t wait to play songs old and new. See you down the front!”
Also on the line-up this year is former Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock who will be performing an acoustic set as well as a live Q&A with renowned journalist Barry Cain.
2016 saw Rebellion Festival celebrate its 20th year alongside the 40thanniversary of punk with a spectacular sold-out event. Over four days at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, legendary bands from every aspect of punk across the world shared stages with new and emerging talent. And Rebellion 2017 looks set to be no different.
Rebellion 2017 sees new ground-breaking bands such as Kent duo Slaves, Evil Blizzard, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and Wonk Unit rubbing shoulders with a legendary line-up that includes the likes of Bad Religion, The Skids, DOA, Alternative TV, Neville Staples Band, Good Riddance, Propaghandhi, Scream (who once featured Dave Grohl), Toyah, Richie Ramone, Pennywise, Leftover Crack, Ruts DC and many many more.
