Preview: Slam Dunk Festival 2015

Slam Dunk Festival is only weeks away & the organisers have planned an absolute stonker of an event for 2015. The alternative touring festival, which runs from 23rd – 25th May 2015, will be once again be visiting its previous homes of The Forum in Hertfordshire & Wolverhampton City Centre. Meanwhile, the Northern leg of the tour has been relocated to Leeds City Centre to allow for an even bigger capacity than before.

Doors open at 1pm and visitors can expect seven stages of pop punk, hardcore, metal and ska music, along with a large selection of bars, food outlets and merchandise and clothing stands to satisfy even the most discerning of fans.

The stage splits have now been revealed with bands such as You Me At Six, Taking Back Sunday and Don Broco playing on the Main Stage, while heavier acts such as Architects and Crossfaith are on the bill for the Monster Energy Stage. The Festival also sees artists such as Reel Big Fish, Millencolin, The Wonder Years and The Bronx on the Desperados, Macbeth and Impericon stages, along with DJs and upcoming artists on the Uprawr DJ & Fresh Blood stages.

The festival’s organiser Ben Ray said“With Slam Dunk South about to sell out, I thought it important to get these out now. Obviously with such a great line up there will be clashes, and releasing this information early will hopefully give people the choice to go to more than one of the days”.
