I’m not gonna even pretend to hide how freakin pumped we are to be playing a stage packed with all of our best homies allllll day!!! This line-up is the sickest space jam of a Slam Dunk line-up since Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny teamed up to save the universe!!!”

MILK TEETH add, “back once again with the ill behaviour. Milk three take on Slam Dunk! We are super excited to be part of an amazing line-up. See you there.” Sammy of WSTR says “Slam Dunk is a special one for us. They’ve backed us from the start and we’ve been going to it a long time before we started playing it. It’s been cool watching it grow from a small venue in Leeds to huge locations around the country. Looking forward to playing it again this year!” Nikki of PAGAN adds, “we are stoked to come back to one of our favourite places in the world, to play our first ever European festival! Getting to play with bands such as GLASSJAW, SAVES THE DAY and THE GET UP KIDS is like a childhood dream. Cannot wait to party again in the UK!”
