The LOUD WOMEN collective will be back at Blackpool’s iconic Rebellion Festival again in 2025, curating a day of exciting new punk bands. Applications are now open!
We are looking for punk bands that are:
💋 powered by female or non-binary musicians
💋 punk – in sound or ethos
💋 new and upcoming
💋 up for experiencing the entire Rebellion weekend.
If invited to play, we can offer all band members weekend passes for the whole of the Rebellion festival, plus drinks and refreshments in and around the time that you play. You will be paid a small fee. We provide a full backline and have ample crew on hand to assist you. We do not generally offer any guestlist spaces, except when needed, for example, for access. You will be able to sell any merchandise in and around the time of your performance (and this can be quite lucrative – the Rebellion punks love to buy merch!). Many bands go on to play other stages at Rebellion in future years where they are then able to negotiate a higher fee.
As this is a LOUD WOMEN promoted stage, you will receive full promotional support from the LW team, as well as from the Rebellion festival team, which is likely to include press, radio and playlist coverage of your music.
