Slam Dunk 2024

Reckon this could be quite the soft collection.

Hot Milk will be announced I’m sure, their UK tour has just finished. 

[DomDom1984]

Hot Milk will definitely be there. Really enjoyed them at TRNSMT this year.

[slamtastic]

hot milk being announced would make me buy a ticket instantly. they are an incredible band and havent had any festival announcements in the uk yet! wonder what they are planning for summer 👀

Kinda hoping Finch are gonna turn up on there.

I'm currently not going but that all changes if Finch are announced.

You Me At Six announcing their own tour for February for 10 years of Cavalier Youth (plus more). Not playing massive venues either. Have to hope Slam Dunk have a few big bands lined up to boost the lineup as it's still not screaming a strong lineup to me as is.

I usually attend but I don't think anything added with change that this time for the cost. Gigging in general is out pricing me so I'm glad I generally don't have much to see left.

Yeah, weird one this. Surely they’ve got something big coming otherwise YMAS don’t really have a pull now you can see them at their own shows for a fraction of the price if you wanted too.

Simple Plan supporting Avril in July and touring in Feb, could sneak another show in at SD. Would be surprised if The Blackout aren't there. Maybe We Are The Ocean after their reunion show last year, big friends of the fest and SD love a reunion. Deaf Havana supporting YM@6 so think they're likely, but are still trying to sell their own tour.

Guesses:
The Blackout, We Are The Ocean, Deaf Havana, Bouncing Souls, some up and coming solo acts that I've never heard of but are popular on TikTok (Rory, is that one?)

Wishlist:
AFI, Chiodos, Crime In Stereo, Polaris, Alkaline Trio, Turbowolf, Something Corporate, Crossfaith, The Bronx

[Henrik]

Thursday have been announced for HellFest

Perfect Slam Dunk band 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I reckon the announcement will be at 5 tonight as The Blackout just tweeted about having an announcement tonight and I reckon they're doing The Best in Town in full at this next year.

Yes please, would be a good addition actually. Odd Slam Dunk say there’s an announcement but don’t actually say which day or time 😂

[Gejonimo]

Still nowhere near enough to even tempt me. I admit it lacks stuff catered to me, but I think it's still objectively weak.

A couple of nice additions but yeah still nowhere near

The run from Head Automatica to All American Rejects was already great for me, State Champs slotting in is even better and there's a Blackout album set as well?

Honestly love the lineup but they've fumbled the headliner big time, moreso after the Cavalier Youth tour announcement.

If they'd bagged the Avril/Simple Plan combo instead and ditched You Me At Six and We The Kings it would have been perfect.

Can't believe how weak this is looking for me. Been to 5 of the 6 days in the last 3 years, but struggling to justify going to even one day of this. Maybe all my bands were used up in those last 3 years.

[Josnton]

Think the line-up on the whole would be fine if the headliner were stronger. 

The You Me at Six choice puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the line-up to be great, and it's just fine. 

[LazyDavid]

There's a few decent runs in there, but an early night might still be on the cards

[DomDom1984]

Might be an early night here too. Which might be welcome because my late finish this time around was exhausting even if it was worth it

[Rusty Spoon]

Still not grabbing me but a few bands I'd be happy to see. Will most likely see if I can pick up a cheap ticket closer to the time. 

[DomDom1984]

My main worry is an AAR/Interrupters clash. If that happens, it's an easy choice but I'd be gutted to miss The Interrupters

Won’t they clash with YMAS?

[DomDom1984]

Depends if they go with everything finishing before the main headliner(s) like this year.

Matt Davies-Kreye has left FFAF. Lucas from Holding Absence will be fronting them at Slam Dunk, that could be brilliant
