Exclusive: Slam Dunk Confirms New Addition As Of Mice And Men

Slam Dunk Festival is returning for its seventh year and it’s looking to be one of the best yet. Taking place at the ol’ faithful locations of Leeds and Hatfield, the weekend is set to be explosive. In fact, let’s get down to business and tell you who’s playing.

Taking Back Sunday will be bringing their legendary original line-up back to our shores, as they get set to headline the festival as a very special UK exclusive.

The King Blues will be sharing their politically-fused punk, whilst Mayday Parade, Forever The Sickest Kids and The Audition will be back flying the power pop flag, and Architects, Every Time I Die, Cancer Bats and Make Do And Mend add a heavier edge.

And obviously, Set Your Goals will be partying up a storm, because it wouldn’t be Slam Dunk without them.

DIY can exclusively reveal that Of Mice And Men will also be playing, with frontman Austin Carlile having this to say about the band’s appearance: “We are beyond excited to join the line up for Slam Dunk this year. Europe and the amazing friend/fan base we have made there, have become like second family to us.”

Slam Dunk Festival will take place from 26th - 27th May, in Hatfield and Leeds.
