REBEL ROUSER MUSIC - Don’t miss…
DRAAGS, the Leeds-based band combining queer punk, hardcore, hip-hop, prog and dance, with theatrical vocals, screaming horns and heavy groovy rhythms.
Grandma’s House who’ve been busy honing their grunge and post-punk influenced sound. Refusing to be pigeon-holed, they are here to shake up perceptions with their intelligent, stylish and raucous take on rock music.
Rapper Faithful Johannes - a performer, storyteller and musician who weaves Alan Bennett-level observational humour with his own crippling social anxieties - a total one-off. He’s teamed up with producer Neocia for their critically acclaimed album, The House at Night. A delicate study of childhood memories, familial relationships and parental angst.
REBEL ROUSER ACTIVISM, IDEAS & WORKSHOPS
The Rebel Rouser venue will also be hosting talks on AI and tech on navigating how to be human where we are digital with Alice Wroe; asking is yoga just hype - from cult leaders to brainwashed followers, TV celebrities and fake gurus, the story of yoga has involved some of the strangest currents of humanity - Stewart Home talks fascist yoga; and the Vandal Factory Podcast explores those magic moments where art meets activism.
Here’s the full Rebel Rouser line-up poster because let’s face it, life’s better with festivals.
PARTY & PROTEST - Why come to Greenbelt?
Well, it's different from other festivals. As well as one eye on your wallet, Greenbelt’s got the other on you. Each year it strives to create a better festival, one that is representative, inclusive and diverse. It mixes world-renowned artists and headliners with activism, debate and ideas. It’s somewhere you can party and dance the night away but it’s also somewhere you can explore big issues and share your opinions.
From AI to conflict in the Middle East; climate emergency to trans rights; criminal justice to migration; and mental health to Gen Z faith resurgence - no topic is too big. Greenbelt offers a chance to explore and debate these issues in a safe environment. Rather than feel alone or overwhelmed, Greenbelt encourages debate and discourse. In a world that can feel very difficult to navigate, Greenbelt’s somewhere to belong, a home where you can be exactly who you’re meant to be, not just tolerated but celebrated.
SO, WHO ELSE IS ON AT THIS YEAR’S GREENBELT?
Headliners include activist and Bridgerton actor Adjoa Andoh and disco soul gospel legends Annie and the Caldwells.

FESTIVAL CREDENTIALS
Each year Greenbelt strives to deliver a festival rich in diversity. Since its inception 51 years ago, its ethos has always been to create a space that is inclusive and representative. Great artistry, courageous activism and open-hearted belief has always been at the heart of the festival’s programming. A true trailblazer amongst UK’s festivals, Greenbelt believes in creating a diverse, intentional, all-inclusive line-up.
The first Greenbelt took place in 1974 on a Suffolk farm with the words ‘If you’ve got a field, you’ve got a festival’. The Sun Newspaper reviewed the first one as ‘The Nice People’s Pop Festival’, but it was more subversive than it appeared.
Over the years Greenbelt has welcomed headline acts such as Pussy Riot, Sinead O’Connor, Kae Tempest, Estelle, Laura Mvula, Magic Numbers, Ezra Furman, and Mavis Staples to name but a few! It has seen early performances by future global artists such as Ed Sheeren, Corinne Bailey Rae, as well as the mighty U2 who played Greenbelt in 1981 when they had only released their first album.
