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.

John Greenwood gives us his 25 favorite photos of 2025, featuring a heavy dose of snaps from Rebellion Festival and Doll Fest, with appearances from The Damned, Fishbone, Steve Ignorant, MDC, and plenty more.
