Following a hugely successful and sold out Rebellion Festival last month, the organisers are already deep into booking bands for the iconic punk event which is set to return to its annual Blackpool Winter Gardens home between 7th and 10th August 2025.
Fans of legendary Manchester bands Joy Division and New Order are in for a treat next year when their bassist Peter Hook returns to the festival with his band PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT for a thrilling deep dive into his vast back catalogue on Saturday 9 August.
“We’re really looking forward to returning to Blackpool once again to play Rebellion Festival,” says Peter, “the crowd is always amazing and I’m sure 2025 will be no different.”
Peter Hook & The Light join a host of punk luminaries already confirmed to bring their power and energy to Blackpool. These now include Hugh Cornwell, The Selector, HR from Bad Brains, Los Fastidios, Zounds, DOA, Crux, Buster Shuffle, Down By Law, The Undertones, Paranoid Visions, 999, The Exploited, MDC, UK Subs, Riskee & The Ridicule, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Millencolin, Pegboy, Toxic Reasons and many more. Rebellion Festival 2025 is already hotting up to be one not to miss.
Family friendly / All ages event with free entry for U12s accompanied by an adult

Peter Hook first revisited the seminal Joy Division album Unknown Pleasures back in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert and has followed it each year by performing subsequent albums from the repertoire of his bands, Joy Division and New Order.
His dedication to his back catalogue has seen him move through Unknown Pleasures, Closer, Still, Movement, Power Corruption & Lies, Low Life, Brotherhood, Technique, Republic and the Substance albums from both Joy Division and New Order.
Among the many highlights since he reintroduced his early repertoire to a legion of new audiences across the world have been appearances at Benicassim, Primavera Sound, Bestival, Kendal Calling, Victorious and Rebellion, alongside sold out gigs and extensive touring in Europe, North and South America, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand to great acclaim from both fans and critics alike.
