Think it'll look something like this:

Main: Enter shikari / Don broco / Simple plan / Pvris / We the kings / Against the current / As it is

Pop punk: Bowling for soup / The wonder years / Cute is what we aim for / Set it off / Knuckle puck / Roam / Boston manor / Seaway

Ska / Punk: Less than jake (co) / Reel big fish (co) / The skints / Zebrahead / Creeper / Beach slang

Metalcore: Motionless in white / Beartooth / Attila

Hardcore: Frank carter / Sick of it all / Touche amore

I'd be very surprised if Creeper aren't mainstage. They've got loads of hype behind them and an album out in March, there was also complaint at South about people not being able to get inside the venue because of size restrictions too.

MAIN: Enter Shikari / Don Broco / Bowling For Soup / Deaf Havana / State Champs / We The Kings / Creeper 

METAL: While She Sleeps / Motionless In White / Beartooth 

POP-PUNK: Simple Plan / Cute Is What We Aim For 

HARDCORE: Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes 

SKA: Less Than Jake / Reel Big Fish

Just to throw it out there, Wheatus are playing a small charity festival near to me on the Saturday of Slam Dunk, presumably as headliners, possibly could play early at Slam Dunk, then go headline that festival (similar to PaTD did this year with Big Weekend and Slam Dunk, just in reverse).

Dont know if they would be booked to open main stage or something, can't see many people knowing anything beyond Teenage Dirtbag but as an opening band I think they'd go down well for that alone.

EDIT: Just found out they are doing Bearded Theory aswell, think that kind of takes any chance of it happening away.

Wheatus are even more of a joke band now then they were before. Only seem to tour with stuff like McBusted etc.

Just heard from someone attached to the festival planning that Bare Naked Ladies are possibly lined up...

I was hopeful for that this year when Brendan Urie took to the stage. Alas I was left disappointed.

Post of the year.

How close are Deftones UK dates to this? AFI are supporting was hoping they could get added but it's unlikely.

Deftones dates are at the beginning of May, so unlikely. AFI below Shikari would have been awesome.

I see my Facebook/Spotify stats got the thread talking, it was only a bit of a joke, nothing to serious.

Based on the Metal/Hardcore stage, I am expecting the usual The Word Alive, Bury Tomorrow, While She Sleeps, letlive. etc 

[Andre91]

Might be worth mentioning that Crossfaith are supporting Enter Shikari's Irish TTTS dates at the end of May, so that could see them make an appearance at Slammy D. 

[MikeyyFromVine]

Simple Plan, AFI, Good Charlotte and Pierce The Veil have just been announced for Download Festival UK for next year, perhaps that rules those out of Slam Dunk? 

EDIT: Included the poster as proof

I'm sorry but you're going to need better proof than that...

Not a fan of them on record at all but blimey, do they turn it on live. Fantastic band to see.

It's not until you really look at that Download poster that you realize how many bands they've potentially robbed off of Slam Dunk this year.

I'm the same as that. Seen them on the same bill as Hacktivist in August.

Just been anounced that We The Kings will be playinh their self tilted album in full. Think that pretty much confirms that they'll be main stage and CIWWAF will be higher up the pop punk stage?

This was announced the day they were announced.

Cant see both being mainstage, one on main stage and the other subbing the Pop Punk stage, presumably underneath Bowling For Soup.

[Andre91]

We The Kings for Main Stage I reckon and CIWWAF to sub the Pop Punk stage.

Just confirm this Ska stage that is being given talked about for LTJ and RBF is the same stage The Beat and The King Blues played this year?

I think it's a pretty safe bet.  RBF headlined it a couple of years back too.

[Gozpot]

For the bands we already have i'm going with:

Main:
Enter Shikari
Don Broco
---
We The Kings
---
---
---

Pop Punk:
Bowling For Soup
Cute Is What We Aim For

Ska:
Less Than Jake/Reel Big Fish (co-headline)

[DomDom1984]

On Facebook it sounded like BFS, RBF and LTJ are all playing the same stage.

I hope so - a clash there wouldn't be good for me - those three clinched my ticket.
