Slam Dunk 2019

[Andre91]

FUCKING HELL. The Menzingers, Turnstile, Knocked Loose, Glassjaw, The Get Up Kids, Trophy Eyes, Tiny Moving Parts is an absolutely insane announcement. 

SD just became my #1 must-be-at festival next year. 

[AshP]

Simple Plan and Glassjaw is great but fucking BFMV how are they even still a band? They were shit in 2006 never mind 2018. 

[Jericode]

Bullet are second stage headliners apparently.

That's fine by me! Hoping for Glassjaw to headline Impericon or Menzingers to headline Signature Brew but not both. Cba with a clash like that.

Naturally Simple Plan are a big bonus for me. Download was your number 1 yesterday haha. I still think the last announcement will include some decent acts and would expect LTJ to be in that one.

i saw less than jake in leeds last week and roger said they would be back in leeds next year which could only mean slammy so my money is on them as the one that has played before(subbing Nofx on fireball stage), as for the 10 that haven't im hoping for: menzingers, front bottoms, sum 41, mustard plug, wheatus, "A", aquabats, nerf herder, army of freshmen, bosstones, suburban legends (some of those are very hopeful)

a lot of people are sayin dropkick murphys and/or flogging molly could play, i doubt it as they both have tours coming up.

possibly parkway drive if the metal stage is second biggest?

 

I am guessing that LTJ are being saves to top the 3rd announcement names?, there is defo space for a Fireball sub under NOFX.

New bands: Bullet for My Valentine, Glassjaw, Simple Plan, The Menzingers, The Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Turnstile, Knocked Loose, IDKHow, Trophy Eyes, Tiny Moving Parts, Trophy Eyes being the returning band.

Would never have guessed Bullet, that's a big pull for them given they're a Download sub now. This looks really tempting for me now.

B4MV are not a Download sub now....it's still a decent get though and may even away me to them as I won't be watching ATL anyway.

Very happy with that announcement - got my tickets!   Dreading the clashes though!  Will be some good names to come as well.

For 60ish quid it's a damn good value day.  Really loved the new venue at Hatfield too.

How is the Hatfield venue? Easy accessible from London by train? for the way back on Sunday night?

[DownboundTrain52]

Bloody hell. That's stacked for pulling power.

Hatfield station is literally over the road from the site and Hatfield - Kings X is 15-20mins.  Don't know about the Sunday night frequency, as drove, but would imagine there'd be a few train - didn't hear many complaints about that.

The site had a proper festival feel to it - big open fields, plenty of space between stages, but not a massive hike.  Highlight for me was the acoustic stage which was nestled in a clearing among some trees.  Just a really nice vibe.   I like the old site at the Uni, but this was even better.  Only issue was the queues for the toilets, but they said they'd address that next year.

Direct trains to London looks good, so me and my mates probably looking for a flat near Kings Cross or Old Street to easily to the site. I just saw that they even would have a festival coach service too.

The site sounds cool, better than the new Leeds site which is out of town.

If LTJ said see you next year then they could well be meaning a later R&L announcement. 

[MattysMilk]

Honestly think the heavy stage will be top this year

Slam Dunk are absolutely nailing it this year. That stage will be so much fun.

I'm not struggling to find now a better line-up so far. LTJ, Bad Religion and NOFX in a row.

I'm just waiting for the Simple Plan clash haha. LTJ are my must see...haven't seen them in years and even if that clash does happen it'll be them...hoping for Bad Religion as I can cope with that.

It’s the best lineup imo. 

I’m fancying The Story So Far to sub ATL. 

[DomDom1984]

That's a ridiculous stage lineup.

I don't think Story of the Year have a chance at subbing ATL personally.
