Speaking about performing at next year’s festival, Andrew Neufeld of COMEBACK KID says, “a couple years back, I remember getting scared to play Slam Dunk because all the bands were killing it so hard, but ‘imma say that the CBK concert goers did not disappoint! They made sure to let us know they were coming in hot and we made triple sure back!” DEEZ NUTS frontman JJ Peters adds, “it’s been four years since we’ve played Slam Dunk, it was an amazing time all the way back then, so I can’t wait to see how much it’s grown. Plus our stage line up is a dream come true for us, hopefully for you too [laughs].”

Slam Dunk Festival North will take place on Saturday May 23rd 2020 at Temple Newsam and Slam Dunk South will take place on Sunday May 24th at Hatfield Park. Tickets can be purchased here.
