A ton of bands have been confirmed for next year’s Slam Dunk Festival!

Following the COVID-19 pandemic which claimed the entire world’s festival season, including Slam Dunk Festival which had postponed once before to September but now once again to 2021 as the pandemic has continued, now, the UK’s biggest alternative party has confirmed a huge block of bands for next year’s festival!

Speaking about next year’s festival, festival director Ben Ray says “not delivering Slam Dunk Festival in 2020 was hard, but with 2021 being the 15th anniversary we will be sure to make it a special one for us all. With overwhelming support shown by our fans by keeping hold of their tickets, I felt it was important to try to give them as many of the artists they bought their tickets for as possible.
