Come along with Wasted World to the Redbullion Festivals.

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.

Our overlords at In Spite Magazine demanded 50 of the Cutest Couples at Rebellion Festival, so Dick Slaughter reluctantly dug through thousands of photos. The result? Punk couples, best mates, fans, band members, and a whole lot of people who simply looked happiest together.

After three years of persistent whining from the author, Dick Slaughter’s Breakfast with the Dickies is finally here. Join Leonard, Stan, and the gang for fancy cheese, Pokémon hunting, newly released photos, questionable breakfast decisions, and a fart bomb that nearly delayed the entire tour. Plus, discover Stan Lee’s favorite candy bar and the proper way to hang toilet paper.

We asked John Greenwood to write a preview of the Rebellion Festival Run-Up shows, the new warm-up gigs Rebellion has added in the week before the festival. Instead, he handed us a wonderfully entertaining account of travel anxiety, a deep-seated distrust of the TSA, and a healthy dose of reminiscing about past Rebellions. In the end, he also remembered to tell us everything you need to know about this year's Run-Up gigs. Along with great photos from Dick Slaughter and John Greenwood himself, it's the perfect way to get ready for another week of punk rock in Blackpool.
