Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth and Sleeping With Sirens are among the bands announced for next year!
Slam Dunk, the UK’s biggest independent rock festival, is back for 2027 and today unveils its first wave of artists. Hot on the heels of a milestone 20th anniversary this summer, the festival kicks off its 21st edition with a line-up of monumental proportions. Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Sleeping With Sirens, The Used and The Front Bottoms top the bill, as 20+ artists join the party across the best in pop-punk, emo, ska, metal and beyond.
This time, Slam Dunk switches things up and takes place in the north first, landing at Leeds, Temple Newsam on Saturday 29th May before closing the weekend at Hatfield Park on Sunday 30th May 2027. Fans can get in first via the Slam Dunk app from Friday 2nd October at 10am, where pre-sale tickets will be available for 48 hours (subject to availability).
