Slam Dunk Festival reveal lineup for September’s festival

Slam Dunk Festival have revealed the lineup for September’s festival!

After riding out the turbulence of 2020, which saw the entire festival season, including Slam Dunk, cancelled and postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, now, as lockdown restrictions are on the path to being eased in accordance to the UK government’s roadmap, the organisers of the UK’s biggest alternative party have revealed the bulk of this year’s lineup for the once-again-rescheduled dates for September this year.

SUM 41 and DON BROCO will return as headliners for the rescheduled September dates whilst WHILE SHE SLEEPS, COMEBACK KID, THE STORY SO FAR, WE ARE IN THE IN CROWD, NOFX retain their places on the rescheduled lineup. New additions to the line-up include CROWN THE EMPIRE, ESCAPE THE FATE, HACKTIVIST, MALEVOLENCE and SNUFF.

Speaking about this year’s festival, Director Ben Ray says, “it was a shame we have had to move the festival again from May however we feel the guidance now is clear enough to know the event will happen in September. With over two months between the June 21st reopening date and the festival we certainly think there is enough breathing space! After having announced the date change after the government announcement, we felt only right to take a bit of time to check with artists who could still do the new dates, before we re announced them. Now we can reveal these and I am so happy so many can make the new dates!”
