I've seen stuffed going around that it's Carousel Kings.
This article has them listed as playing, could also be a misprint I suppose?

Kind of makes sense that low down the line up, but not why they're hyping it up so much.
Unless it's just a marketing tactic to build hype and get everyone posting/talking about it cause that's a pretty underwhelming secret guest aha.

The Slam Dunk listing mentioned in the article is for Plain White Ts, not Carousel Kings.

I still reckon it's between Me First or Mariachi El Bronx.

If we're going by that hint saying its a band that haven't played before I'm sure Mariachi el Bronx as well as The Bronx played in 2015.

My bad, I just remember The Bronx that rather than both of them from that year.

I wear my shirt from 2015 all the time  great fest but I've never been back, this looks like a good year, too many fests in one year though now I think.

Surely it's got to be Simple Creatures? 

[Jericode]

If it's anything other than Simple Creatures it'll be a surprise, it's all anyone is guessing on social media. Don't see the point in them being a surprise though when they're already announced for Download.

Inevitably, it's going to be someone shite and all the kids will moan about it.

Yeah, why wait and lets just moan about them now!

Sorry shite was probably the wrong word. What I mean by that, is if it isn't Simple Creatures, or someone that isn't tailored to every individual need there, they will think its shite.

The level of entitlement from Slam Dunk fans is amongst some of the worst I've seen.

Was billed as their first UK show wasn't it? That's probably why

[AllieCross]

I've been 2 years in a row and this year will be the first year I'll be going alone to SD south. Anyone else going solo and is ok having a tag along, I'm quite nervous about going alone

[moams]

Do we think they’ll announce the secret act on the day or will we just have to wait for them to walk out which wouldn’t really work seeing as it seems it’s the same act at both sites. 

[jump]

Random question, where there ever £13 tixs on sale for the South site? I've bought resold tixs and the face value printed on them is £13 so I'm wondering how they manage to do that. The only thing I can think of is if they are a friend of a band and got a discount.

[jonday81]

I would love the tbc to be Me First and the gimme gimmes!!! Half the band already there too so is possible!

[BlackFoxx]

another pre Slam Dunk show that might help with clashes

[moams]

Apparently the secret act on their last UK headline tour they were playing arena’s

[AshP]

Not Simple Creatures then. Could be ADTR or Blink? 

[Rotinajer]

Have either of those played slam dunk before? They seem like bands that would’ve 

[Alex Winstone]

Don't think he/they have played slam dunk but Frank Turner & The Sleeping souls? Their last tour was areans

[foolee]

Someone on twitter mentioned twenty one pilots or BMTH due to being at big weekend the same weekend

Last date of American shows is tonight, then he’s playing London on June 1st. Nothing on slam dunk weekend

 

out of interest, how big is the key club stage/tent? could it be a smaller arena band for health and safety reasons

Seen Busteds name pop up

Doesn’t mean it’s an arena headliner, it could be a band who supported in arenas

It says headline tour 

[Rotinajer]

They just said on Twitter that someone has guessed it right, so that narrows it down a bit

[jump]

The way they said "UK headline tour" implies to me the are a non-UK act.
