Last weekend, I went for the 3rd year to the punk & skinhead Rebellion Festival 2010, in Blackpool, UK.

This can easily be described as the foremost annual oi-music festival in Britain, and its held at the winter gardens in Blackpool, a venue designed for ballroom dancing! Spread over six stages and four days, from early afternoon to late night, over 200 live performances were made. As the weekend ticket sold originally for £80 (GBP), this meant each act could be seen for as little as 40p each - of course trying to see them all would mean a lot of running around!
Personally I had highlighted 18 acts I wanted to see, from the programme, which I downloaded the night before the festival; and I had already 3 clashes! (Un)Fortunately one of those acts, Krawallbrüder cancelled and their middle-aged substitutes The Hooligans were not exactly what I would call a crowdpuller! That said…
