Rebellion Festival organisers confirm new R-FEST event

The first R-Fest will be headlined by Levellers, Gary Numan, Squeeze and The Stranglers.

Organisers of Rebellion Festival will launch a new outdoor event dubbed R-FEST by the Blackpool Tower between August 4th-7th.

Also set to play the inaugural festival are The Undertones, The Skids, Peter Hook & The Light, Toyah and plenty more.

“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),” organiser Jennie Russell-Smith says.

“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.”

“Four days of bands in the incredible headland arena with the tower and the Wintergardens on one side and the Irish Sea on the other! It’s going to be amazing!”
