A weekend of sweaty rooms, old friends, new bands, good tunes, hangovers, merch, and enough punk energy to keep Skegness moving. From The Puncturists kicking things off to Criminal Damage, Tear Up, Critical Candy, Zero Tolerance, and Broken Three Ways, Punk and Disorderly 2025 proves that the smaller punk weekender is still very much alive. Best part: discovering bands you’ve never heard before, dancing with people you’ve known for years, making new friends, and keeping the scene going. Use them or lose them.

Part 1 of Dick Slaughter’s Rebellion 2026 recap covers Days One and Two.

Featuring air conditioning, Punk Hunks, The Stranglers, Steve Ignorant Band, Sham 69, The Rezillos, Bar Stool Preachers, Citizen Fish, Millie Manders and the Shutup, Lost Wallets, Bow Wow Wow, Bite Me Bambi, and more. Come along as Dick wanders the Rebellion Festivals. Also included are Dick’s picks of 30 or so favorite offstage photos from in and around the Winter Gardens.
