After announcing the likes of NECK DEEP, CANCER BATS, THE BRONX, AS DECEMBER FALLS and more last month, now, another eight bands have been confirmed for the UK’s biggest alternative party!

Whilst THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES have withdrawn from the lineup due to disbanding, metalcore favourites BEARTOOTH, COUNTERPARTS and electronic pop wonders 3OH!3 lead the charge in the latest announcement. Also confirmed is pop-rock outfit SET IT OFF, the genre-bending duo of NOVA TWINS, MAGNOLIA PARK, Australian outfit WITH CONFIDENCE and US solo act LIL LOTUS.

Speaking about performing at this year’s festival, BEARTOOTH says, “we’re beyond excited to return to Slam Dunk. It’s a killer festival with killer bands and it’s an honor to be a part of the line-up. Like a lot of bands, it’s been years since we’ve been able to play in the UK. I promise we’re gonna do everything in our power to kick major ass. See ya there!” 3OH!3 says, “the UK, the UK, oh the UK! How can we find the words for the joy it is to play in the UK?!… We really cannot wait to get back there for Slam Dunk 2022 and rock a long, very overdue party with you beautiful people! XO”

SET IT OFF adds, “we are SUPER excited to be joining the Slam Dunk fest this year and reuniting with our UK fans FINALLY!!! Can’t wait to see you there!“ Whilst NOVA TWINS say, “we’re so excited to be playing Slam Dunk for the first time. We’re always hearing how great it is, so can’t wait to experience that energy first hand!”

And WITH CONFIDENCE says, “it’s been a long three years since we’ve visited ye olde England. Three years since we’ve had a warm beer or gagged at the sight of a black pudding. THREE YEARS since any of us felt alive. But the cliffs of Dover, they call our name once again and we must answer that call with a resounding: ‘Yes, we would love to play Slam Dunk‘.”

Slam Dunk Festival North will take place on Friday June 3rd 2022 at Temple Newsam and Slam Dunk South will take place on Saturday June 4th at Hatfield Park. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here.
