We’ll take off our hats to Slam Dunk, they know how to throw a blinder! Since its inception in 2007, Slam Dunk has been the UK’s go-to festival for golden oldies from the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater era mixed in with the latest and greatest in alternative, punk-rock and -core genres.
This year, Slam Dunk’s eleventh go around, is no exception, beneath headliners Good Charlotte and Jimmy Eat World, they’ve got the likes of Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish revving to go in on the ska stage. Meanwhile Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes and Every Time I Die hold up the brutalism. For those who never left the pop-punk era behind, Trash Boat and Roam return, and this year there’s even an entire stage dedicated to acoustic incase you need a cathartic moment.
North: Leeds City Centre – 26th May
South: Hatfield Park – 27th May
Midlands: Birmingham NEC – 28th May
