Slam Dunk 2024

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

LTA will be back soon, I think the Busted tour will have been a big help in getting some moolah together which is what they were wanting 

Assuming their drummer still drummed for them?

LTA would be cool if they came back and played a bunch of older material. Speaking of, Mike Duce turning up on the new Guilt Trip record isn’t something I expected.

I only got into LTA for the last two albums pre-split so if that's all they play that's fine by me. A reunion would probably push me to actually listen to the older stuff though.

I'm on about year six of wanting Hey Monday for the reunion slot I'll just keep going with that.

I saw them at SD09 but I didn’t appreciate them as much as I do now. 
 

Not too far out there with that single she’s on that came out recently and they that reunion show in 2019. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

This is exactly why I thought they’d be at SD, he’s active again, good song btw.

When I saw them on the farewell show in Birmingham, the drum tech said they’d be back in a few years.

Heavier stage headliner I’d imagine. Great booking if they’ve got them.

Underneath ADTR on the heavy stage please.

I presume we mean the Enter Shikari stage? They aren't for me after thinking they were last year at Download when I tried them, bit too on the heavy side but no denying they can take that spot and should be the kinda size they should be looking at. The dates fit and too big bar that Dropkicks 2022 accepting to sub any of the stages. Essentially in 2022, Dropkicks had a bigger tour than Sum 41....although clearly failed.

I Prevail were the most banal and dull band I saw at Download this year. Utter dross. Would be a good, popular booking for Slam Dunk, however. They’re a really big band now.

It’s mad the tickets they shifted on their last UK run every academy date sold out along with a sold out Wembley Arena.

Yet weirdly they shift tickets! 
I would agree they’re pretty dull though. 

I could see them under ADTR though or maybe Spiritbox or Sleeptoken but both their trajectories are mad.

Don’t mind them on record but live they are terrible

I think I prevail would headline over Spiritbox

They definitely headliner over Spiritbox.

Agree, I Prevail just had a full sold out academy tour and sold out Wembley arena also on top of having a 3rd down main stage slot at DL.

The Offspring, SUM 41, Simple Plan, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, High Vis and Boston Manor all announced for Hurricane/Southside the weekend after Download so I’d expect to see any of those that aren’t at Download or Trees do Slam Dunk.

Avril playing there too and Bury Tomorrow.

[Jericode]

They've only just had Offspring and I imagine Sum 41 will do their own dates given its their last tour and they also headlined recently. Can see all of Simple Plan, State Champs and Mayday Parade being added in March once that tour finishes.

Think SUM 41 will do a festival tour and then own dates at the end of the year

These rumours are really uninspiring for me

Definitely feels like an off year.

Slam Dunk would pull it out the park booking Avril, Sum 41, Rancid and I Prevail as tops bands. For the cost of what the ticket is going to be, they are not beyond doing that.

Just can’t see Sum 41 this time, they’ll do DL/Reading and then do their final UK tour.

I do kinda feel you are right as Slam Dunk is too early but Download just generally sucks ass! They won't do Reading on a final outing, way out of their theme now. The Offspring and Sum 41 would be very good for me I don't need to see The Offspring again and I'm not sure I do Sum 41 either. Sum 41 fit second stage headliner, as do The Offspring....but I feel they probably have got enough bump to sub it. They won't accept 3rd down due to stage time.

But yes, Avril Lavigne, Rancid and I Prevail for SD would be solid.
