Blackpool Sequence Dance Festival is dedicated to classical, Latin and modern dances. The venue is Empress Ballroom, and the date falls on the end of October. Both children and adults are participants. The dancing season ends when the time for British National Dance Championships comes. The championships are held in mid-November. Here, dancers of absolutely all ages compete in the genre of "Latin dances", a certain day is assigned for each age category. The very same Empress Ballroom serves as the venue.
In early August, Blackpool is visited by all who are rebellious by their nature and do not want to put up with imposed standards - at this time, there is Rebellion Festival, the largest independent event in the world of punk rock and alternative metal. The event lasts 4 days, during which all its visitors become one big family. It's not easy to meet unfamiliar names among the festival's headliners, as its organizers try to surprise the audience by inviting eminent rebellious artists to perform on the stages of Winter Gardens and Blackpool Ice Arena.
A festival with the simple name of Blackpool Festival is a real fun that can only happen in the summer. Its venue is Tower Festival Headland, and time - the beginning of July. The event's headliners are always famous musicians, but the festival's main thing is that their names are kept secret until the last minute. This is done in order to prepare an unexpected surprise for visitors who would be totally excited about their favorite performer's warming up the crowd as a headliner.
