Slam Dunk Festival 2023

I doubt it. Reading is only one day at each site, there just happens to be 3 days of music instead of 1. There is always going to be clashes. My biggest clash this year by far was the shitty bar wifi. I could see a two day festival but still only going to get 1 day in each place of both bands. It is still only 28k people. You wouldn't go to a Reading day and a Leeds day would you unless it worked out that way for your two best days.

I've got no idea what you're trying to say here.

That's good, it wasn't just me then. It made my head hurt. The idea seemed simple to me, 2 days, 2 line ups and switching sites. Not sure how it could have been complicated so much

They better bring back 3 sites if this is the lineup. It'd be so clash heavy I'd need to go to 3 days to see all the bands I like

SLS, Creeper, LTJ, The Gaslight and Rancid would be decent

I really like this. Some great stuff on the 4th stage as well with Bob Vylan, Static Dress, SeeYouSpaceCowboy & Lauran Hibberd. Some good small acts Slam Dunk could go for next year. 

A small act I discovered recently called L'exquisite Douleur who would be perfect for Slam Dunk.

Thinking Thursday playing Full Collapse in full for it's anniversary maybe a No Devotion set too and Taking Back Sunday playing tell all your friends.

Yes, Thursday playing Full Collapse must be on the cards after their U.S. tour announcement. 

I would be so hyped for that. 

Add Taking Back Sunday playing Tell All Your Friends and I am in dreamland.

Yes but I need that at Outbreak instead

It’s got to be coming, hasn’t it. 

It'll happen but I still think we're quite a bit off from it happening anytime soon. Jake and Ian seem to be pretty content with Slaughter Beach, Dog at the moment and Brenden has seemed to disappeared off the face of the earth.

EDIT: Thought I was replying to the Modern Baseball post not the dual site post somehow. Oops

The wife really wants fall out boy but I keep telling her they are to big. However how about cohead and cambria?

[justanothername]

Dates for next year confirmed.

South: 27th of May

North: 28th of May

[LazyDavid]

First time for a while that South has been before North!

I reckon Thursday doing Full Collapse is gonna be at Trees

[Andre91]

FOB doing Take This To Your Grave in full for its 20th anniversary would be the dream but they’re too big and I assume too costly also. Still hedging my bets on ADTR at present. Would love to see AFI there.

[thatTFBguy]

As every year, give me The Front Bottoms and I'll be there regardless of the rest of the lineup

That's cool. I've got a hotel for south booked anyway but I may just get a lift back again and the train there. Was so much cheaper 

[jump]

I would post this in the gig thread of the chat section but I doubt many would care since it's pop-punk. There are cheap £4.95 tickets for Lagwagon's London show at the weekend.

[ScarletBlaster]

The Gaslight Anthem suggested a few times now, do we really think they'd do it? Can't see em doing anything less than headline slot if they do.

Put Against Me! on before them and I'll be happy!

[NorthernSoul52]

The Gaslight Anthem surely would headline on the strength of reunion. Also, even if Get Hurt wasn't quite the record all involved wanted, they've still got a very solid bank of tunes to pull from. (Plenty off Get Hurt, if we're quibbling, in fact.)

[DomDom1984]

A Day to Remember are too big for this surely?

Are they though? Feel like they’ve been at the same level for a few years now, would probably be the biggest headliner slam dunk could get but I could see it happening 

[jump]

They are more likely to do dual solo shows using the same site like YM@S did. I think they were gonna do that before lockdown a few years ago.

[LazyDavid]

I love The Gaslight Anthem but I think the best they'd get is to headline a stage like Neck Deep this year

A top 3 of A Day To Remember, Turnstile and The Gaslight Anthem would suit me though!

If it was an album show then Gaslight I think would do the Dropkicks slot. ADTR could definitely top it given what the cost will be next year too. They don't sell their tours or that quick at arena level.
