As well as more bands, the festival is now offering camping for the first time!
Slam Dunk, the UK’s biggest independent rock festival, has delighted fans today, announcing a surprise second wave of artists for 2027, just two weeks after its first line-up drop. 18 NEW ACTS join the bill including Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Superheaven, Joyce Manor, The Paradox, Amira Elfeky, Forever The Sickest Kids, The Family Business Ltd, Ben Quad, Games We Play and more. They line up alongside previously announced Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Sleeping With Sirens, The Used, The Front Bottoms and more. The response to the first announcement has been huge, with VIP tickets already sold out, and all remaining tickets selling fast.
For 2027, Slam Dunk also introduces camping for the first time in its history. A limited number of pitches will be available at both Leeds Temple Newsam and Hatfield Park, including campervan pitches and pre-pitched tent options. Both campsites are within walking distance of the festival. They open at 4pm the day before the festival and close at 12pm the day after, so fans can wake up at Slam Dunk. Camping tickets for Slam Dunk Festival 2027 go on sale this Friday at 10am, and fans can read all further information at www.slamdunkfestival.com/camping.
Slam Dunk Festival takes place at Leeds Temple Newsam on Saturday 29th May and Hatfield Park on Sunday 30th May 2027, with more names still to be announced. VIP tickets have sold out and all other ticket types are selling fast via www.slamdunkfestival.com.

I spend my days teaching English to foreign students, and my evenings attending as many gigs as possible. Raised mainly on a diet of 90s third-wave punk, my tastes have grown to include just about anything from trad ska to thrash metal. The Ramones are my musical gods.
Did you know that we are 100% DIY? We run our own game. No one dictates to us, and no one drives what we can or cannot put on our pages – and this is how we plan to continue!
