Slam Dunk Festival has officially unveiled the first wave of artists set to perform across its dual-site May Bank Holiday weekend in 2027.
Leading the initial announcement are pop-punk favorites Bowling For Soup and Simple Plan, who will head up a main stage alongside a stacked contingent of genre stalwarts. Joining them at the top of the heavy bill are legendary metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage, marking their highly anticipated Slam Dunk debut.
The first wave also features an expansive lineup of scene heavyweights including Beartooth, Sleeping With Sirens, The Used, The Front Bottoms, Reel Big Fish (playing an exclusive UK reunion show), Less Than Jake, The Interrupters, Wage War, The Amity Affliction, Four Year Strong, Hot Milk, The Maine, and ERRA.
Returning to its dual-location setup, the festival kicks off at Leeds Temple Newsam on Saturday, May 29, 2027, before heading south to Hatfield Park on Sunday, May 30, 2027.
Tickets go on fan pre-sale via the official Slam Dunk app on Friday, October 2 at 10 a.m. BST, followed by the general on-sale on Monday, October 5 at 10 a.m. BST.
