Slam Dunk Festival announces final bands
The final bands for this year’s Slam Dunk Festival have been announced!
Slam Dunk Festival, the unmissable pop-punk party of the summer, have revealed the final names for 2019’s instalment. Pop punks NECK DEEP, AS IT IS, BOSTON MANOR, A LOSS FOR WORDS, GRANDSON, PRESS TO MECO, A STORY UNTOLD, BETWEEN YOU & ME, SHVPES, KUBLAI KHAN and CRUEL HAND will all perform sets across the festival.
Speaking about performing at this year’s festival, AS IT IS‘ Patty Walters says, “words can’t even describe our excitement to be returning to Slam Dunk Festival. I’ve been attending Slam Dunk as a fan for nearly ten years now, and this year won’t be any different with such an unreal lineup of bands. We can’t wait to get rowdy with you at our biggest Slam Dunk yet. The crash is coming.” PRESS TO MECO add, “we’re super excited to announce we’ll be playing Slam Dunk this year. It’s one of the coolest UK festivals and they knock the line up out of the park every year.”
On making his Slam Dunk and UK festival debut, GRANDSON says, “this summer I and a small caravan of the baddest most diabolical rock and roll immigrants I could possibly assemble will be descending on your grounds to play my first ever festival outside of North America. I am not exaggerating when I say it is something I have been looking forward to my entire life, and my preparation, enthusiasm onstage, and general attitude will reflect that excitement I have. I can not promise you will agree with everything I have to say up there, I can not promise I will fit in with the rest of the music you will hear that day, but I promise it’ll get real fucking loud and real fucking dark. See you there.”
In addition to these new names, the festival have revealed Justin Pierre of MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK, Rob Lynch, Liam Cromby formerly of WE ARE THE OCEAN, Chas Palmer-Williams of LIGHTYEAR and Lizzy Farrell for their acoustic stage.
Slam Dunk Festival 2019 takes place on Saturday May 25th in Leeds and Sunday May 26th in Hatfield. Tickets priced at £59 are on sale now and can be purchased here.
