Slam Dunk Festival add The Story So Far, Set Your Goals, The Starting Line and more

By Ben Tipple

Slam Dunk Festival organisers have confirmed another eight bands, who will join headliners Panic! At The Disco and many more across three events between the 28th and 30th May 2016.

“This announcement again really feels like it represents the anniversary of the festival” says promoter Ben Ray, speaking of Mallory Knox, The Story So Far, Set Your Goals, The Starting Line, Zebrahead, Capdown, We Came As Romans and Miss May I.

The latest additions represent all corners of Slam Dunk Festival, with the commercial music side, the heavier end and the pop-punk elements all present and correct. Set Your Goals are even reforming for a special performance.

“Capdown who played the very first event, Set Your Goals reforming to play, The Starting Line with a very rare UK appearance, and Zebrahead who have so much fun they want to play every year,” Ray continues. “There’s also still so many bands to be announced, it’s going to be a great year!”

Slam Dunk Festival will take place on the 28th, 29th and 30th May 2015 in Leeds, Birmingham and Hatfield respectively. Tickets are on sale now, priced at £42 or £47 with after-show. Limited Mega Tickets (£150) are also available, granting access to all three events plus after-shows, t-shirts and queue jumps.
