A three-day festival of food, beer and live music is set to take place in Newport this weekend. Rebel Fest has been running for several years and will be held at Tiny Rebel's brewery bar in Rogerstone from Friday, June 30 to Sunday, July 2.
The festival is a crowning joy for the Newport-based brewery which was started by friends Brad Cummings and Gareth (Gazz) Williams back in 2010 and has grown to be the biggest brewery in Wales. This year's edition will see Welsh and other artists perform across two stages throughout the weekend with some established and local acts taking to the stage, as well as DJs.
There will also, of course, be plenty of Tiny Rebel beer available with a packed beer list already announced including plenty of old favourites and new additions too.

Friday's packed music line-up includes pysch-pop band Islet, as well as Sister Wives, Sleep Outside and more, while Welsh Music Prize winners Adwaith headline on Saturday with performances from Minas, Daytime TV and more. Sunday will be capped off with homegrown rockers CVC, Tom Auton, Hotwax and more great names.
The beer list for the festival includes some Tiny Rebel favourites like Easy Livin', Cali Pale and Clwb Tropica while there will also be a range of unusual flavours on offer including pineapple and sherbert IPAs, jam doughnut pale ales, cream stouts and many more. Food vendors will be serving up burgers, pizza, loaded fries and more across the weekend and you'll also be able to book tours or tastings. There will be limited edition merch available to buy as well as t-shirt printing and family fun at the Tiny Circus.
The event kicks off at 2pm on Friday June 30 and runs until 11pm before running all day from 11am to 11pm on Saturday and 11am to 8pm on Sunday. Tickets are £22 per day or £60 for the full weekend and allow all-day entry and a Rebel Fest reusable cup, as well as access to all food vendors, live music, DJ sets, family fun at the Tiny Circus, beers and festival exclusives. Tours and tastings must be booked separately.
