That is Slam Dunk, even with new bands coming through they would end up just booking them all the time. The pool overall is smaller or someone's phase happens. I never went to Slam Dunk for the hardcore bands to be honest and thus wouldn't miss whatever outbreak book which is another I'd never attend.
I ended up at Slam Dunk this yesr purely because of tickets for good so for for the 4/5 bands I saw it was worth on paper but overall not. Weather was terrible and Temple Newsum setup for Slam Dunk is awful compared to Hatfield.
I've got a got ticket for the kaiser indie day there hoping it's all different as it's right up my street but that might get sold for a London ticket with just kaisers, Coral and we are scientists. I'm missing two bands but it's much easier and cost effective than getting up to Leeds and stopping.
There´s a decent chance some of them will be there I think plus Girl In Red, Beth Gibbons and Kneecap who play in other Scandinavian festivals around the WOW dates. I´m personally hoping for QOTSA, Last Dinner Party, Beth Gibbons or anything Radiohead-related;)
I’ve been silently observing from the wings and this love in for a band that are best described as a rock parody act is frankly sickening.
the lead singer is a full blown prat that grew up in privilege and now wants to come across as some working class rebel when in actual fact he’s just weird
