Slam Dunk Festival announce seven new bands for 2022

The first seven bands for next year’s Slam Dunk Festival have been revealed!

After a blockbuster return earlier this month, which was long-waited thanks the COVID-19 pandemic, now, the first seven bands for 2022’s festival have been revealed.

Post-hardcore icons ALEXISONFIRE and longstanding punk rock legends RANCID are the first headliners to be announced whilst emo titans THE USED, Philadelphian pop-punk kings THE WONDER YEARS and beloved punk-pop favourites MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK make their much anticipated return following their original booking on 2020’s lineup before the pandemic hit.

Rounding off the announcement is UK new blood outfit HOT MILK and international sensations MEET ME AT THE ALTAR.#
