Wouldn’t be pleased with the headliners but I’d be fairly happy with the rest. Would be surprised to see I Prevail that far down and lower than WSS. Have a feeling WSS will opt for Trees next year. I’d go watch Graphic Nature/Cassyette/Bad Nerves/The Blackout/I Prevail/While She Sleeps/Dinosaur Pile Up

The Interrupters would sub main stage, they are bigger than Alkaline Trio.

No chance the Amazon stage is going to be that top heavy, Dickies is the main stage. You put an arena band, with a band who have sold ally pally with another band who have done Wembley arena below. I Prevail are pushing to headline that stage themselves and WSS would be below them. Considering the subs this this were BFS and Billy Talent on the main stages which I personally thought was weak options but they are Brixton Academy level.

Nostalgia plays a big part in placements. Trio would play above The Interrupters.

These rumours are really uninspiring for me 

For sure. 

I'm going to need to see Rancid headlining or I may end up missing this year.

Alkaline Trio have more Spotify listeners than The Interrupters, not by much tbf but still I think more people know them.

Maybe your are right but they don't sell more tickets.

Maybe they do but tickets wise, The Interrupters would both do a bigger tour and sell more tickets than them

That's a fair bit of space for hype as well although hype is a powerful thing.

[Andre91]

I’m going for: 

 

ADTR with YMAS as very special guests on the Main Stage. 
 

I Prevail headlining the heavy outdoor stage with Bury Tomorrow below them. 
 

Funeral For A Friend and The Blackout headlining the dual tent stage playing Casually Dressed and The Best In Town in full.

If that's the case, the undercard is gonna have to be very special for me to go. And I've been to both days the last few years so that's saying something

[SpongeNob]

Are any of these rumours/speculations actually legit? I can't see ADTR playing Slam Dunk.

Played DL in a big slot 2022, were due to do their own headline shows on the SD sites before Covid, never headlined SD before and I don’t think they’d go back to Reading now, I think they’re a big shout to headline tbh.

I agree. If they booked those two to headline without a great undercard it's an easy £100 saving on a ticket for me on what is already verging on an overpriced ticket anyway.

They also pulled out as headliners the year All American Rejects headlined.

They pretty much owe the festival and the UK some headline shows at this point. 
 

Last proper headline tour was 2017 and I don’t think they’ve headlined anywhere in the UK since then either.

Any chance we get Weezer? 

They are around

Don't think so with them doing their own gigs it'd bleed into each other's ticket sales.

With a tour a few weeks after it’s highly highly unlikely. I feel they’d be better suited to 2000 trees tbf.

100%, they don't really feel like a Slam Dunk band but are too big really for Trees. 

[ScarletBlaster]

Alkaline Trio have a new album out next year, could be a possibility!

Subbing main stage for me or at very least headlining the 3rd biggest stage.

[Henrik]

Alkaline Trio would be fab. Fingers crossed.

Would The Used play that low down, or even be invited back after last time?
