Anyone with a valid NHS ID card can get a free ticket for one of the four days of live music by showing up to the box office on Wednesday August 3 from noon.

Jennie Russell-Smith, festival director, said: “We wanted to give something back for the amazing job they all did during Covid.

"A lot of people who already come to Rebellion are key workers so we know what they’ve gone through and how difficult things have been, so we hope there’ll be a good take-up.”

It’s the first full Rebellion since 2019, and this year Russell-Smith wanted to make it bigger and better.

So the festival has a brand-new open-air stage on the promenade, called R Fest.

Russell-Smith added: “We’ve generated so many fresh ideas and hopefully some new fans who come to see the acts playing at the R-Fest stage, will soon realise why Blackpool is such a special place for our summer gatherings.

"Everyone is so excited to be back in Blackpool.”
