40th Anniversary Declaration at Rebellion Festival, Blackpool August 3rd and 4th 2024.
Mike Peters will present a very special 40th Anniversary performance of The Alarm’s classic debut album Declaration on Sunday August 4th at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, Lancashire.
Alarm fans are urged to snap up any remaining tickets fast, as Mike Peters will also be appearing on the Literary Stage on Saturday August 3rd, speaking about his forthcoming autobiography LOVE 1959 -1981, and then following up with a headline performance on the Almost Acoustic Stage later that same evening.
Tickets for the entire weekend or single day passes are available here.
It promises to be a Gathering-style appearance at Rebellion Festival, with Mike Peters being invited to perform three times over two days. It also promises to be one of the last remaining opportunities for Alarm fans to see the lead singer in action before he undertakes a Stem Cell Transplant following a recent diagnosis with the ultra rare Richter’s Syndrome.
On Sunday 4th August Mike Peters will bring The Alarm’s Declaration album to the Blackpool Opera House Stage as part of a headline set that will include other songs and singles The Alarm played at the legendary Hammersmith Palais, on the day the album was first released in February 1984.
Mike Peters has evolved The Alarm of today into an exciting fast paced electro-acoustic one man outfit, utilising advances in music that have allowed other stripped-back bands such as White Stripes, Black Keys and Royal Blood to make as big a noise as any four or five piece.
“It’s all about the songs,” says Mike Peters. “I’m looking forward to appearing as both a spoken word and almost acoustic artist on Saturday and then showing why The Alarm has always been regarded as the first ever electro-acoustic band in the world and performing our founding album Declaration and more on Sunday night.”
To coincide with the Rebellion Festival appearance a 40th Anniversary Limited Edition ‘Alternative Declaration’ Double LP / CD is being released on August 4th by the Twenty First Century Recording Company exclusively via www.thealarm.com
