Slam Dunk 2015

[huntyyy]

Such Gold and Transit are playing too. Chuffed with that Transits latest record is really very good

[tyranicide]

It looks like pod, hoobstabank and alien ant farm will be doing a three way coheadline tour in may so they might be playing if they're about.

Any idea when the next announcement will be?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

2001 if it involves those 3 bands.

[Dead throne]

Might go to this. Always wanted to go and wanted to do a little festival this year like Warped 2012.

Hoping for UABB, Architects, Emmure, Thy Art, etc

[huntyyy]

The Hotelier are playing at Dot to Dot festival, and not Slam Dunk. Definitely playing shows in Kingston and Norwich during may aswell. Dunno when these shows will be.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Motion City Soundtrack playing a festival in Liverpool in May, announcing more next week. Could potentially play again?

[theshapeofpunktocome123]

hoobastank, POD and AAF .... do they have any dates after the UK tour ???

if not im hoping they get added , only down side to that would be clashes !

[justanothername]

Next announcement is on the 25th of Feb and will probably be in Kerrang first like always

[dontburytodaydoittomorrow]

I've seen TSSF play in smaller venues and they're so good live, Reading was the worst time I'd seen them play because they seemed to be swallowed up by the stage and were on really early so weren't appreciated as much... A late Pit slot would have suited them much more!

Regarding where NFG could slot in, could they go above RBF where we originally thought they be, 2nd stage headliner?

I'd really like to see Real Friends, State Champs, TSSF, FFAF, Bury Tomorrow and Stick To Your Guns added.

Any of those bands would be a great addition, not sure where Bury Tomorrow would fit in though considering they headlined the monster stage last year but there the kind of guys who wouldn't mind dropping down just to be there

State Champs a feel is almost a certainty with UK shows planned (confirmed by the band) and Real Friends would make sense too. I feel like TSSF won't be touring until they finish their new album - which could take a while - but FFAF would be a safe bet, definite crowd pleaser and great band in general.

Stick To Your Guns were rumoured to be at SD 2013 yet the rumour never came to be, but they have a gap in their tour dates which fits Slam Dunk perfectly (could that also mean Being As An Ocean make an appearance to, being on the same tour)

La Dispute have a one off headline show just after so it would make sense if they played SD, and Transit are 100% gonna be there

Saw Don Broco tonight in Birmingham and Rob said at the end of the show that they're coming back with an album in the summer, but are playing a "little festival up the road sooner than you may think"... Can only assume he meant Slam Dunk!

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

At a stretch he couldve meant Download.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Which I realise isn't a little festival but he also referred to Leeds as a little festival at the Leeds gig.

Just don't see where they'd fit, they're bigger than LTA really so unless they're bumping them down.

Edit: which I now realise he probably meant Slam Dunk then too, duh ha.

[Lumz]

Yeah I think they're probably on the same level as LTA, could easily slot above or below, and like LTA, the new album seems to be taking a more "pop rock" direction so wouldn't fit Download as much as it would Slam Dunk.

[huntyyy]

Slam Dunk would be good for Don Broco because their album comes out that Monday so a great Promotion tool. Still think they're playing Main Stage at RandL again.

Also: Transit, Such Gold, As It Is, This Wild Life, Seaway, Boston Manor, La Dispute, We are the Ocean. All very likely based on Tour Dates.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

This line up is going to be pretty massive compared to previous years. Good work.

[Ops]

I dont think it has been mentioned anywhere but Big D and the Kids Table have a UK tour which has a Slam dunk sized gap (dates before and after but not during) which makes them very likely to be on the lineup

[huntyyy]

Don Broco said on stage tonight that they were playing a festival nearby in May

[luckysalt]

Finch and Bury Tomorrow then with those tour dates, even if Finch have a London show

[Lumz]

Dead Harts (support for Bury Tomorrow's tour) seemed to hint they'll be at Slam Dunk too... Low down on the Monster stage?

[mentalgellar]

Anyone got any ideas who will be in the announcement tomorrow?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'll pick up Kerrang on my way to work in the morning so I'll post it up around 6am.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Don Broco, Pvris, While She Sleeps,Patent Pending, Beartooth, The Colour Morale, The Bronx, Mariachi el Bronx, Trash Talk, Zebrahead, Lightyear, Big D and the kids table, Thy art is murder, such gold, a loss for words, enmure and transit

[6daviesdr]

No finch? Thought they'd be a dead cert with their uk tour dates. Must either be at download or saving them for a later announcement to help sell the tour a little.

[luckysalt]

Slam Dunk is looking fucking AMAZING.

Trash Talk been put in the Caliban slot from last year. NICE.

Been waiting to see Trash Talk again since they played Download 2011 and were awesome.

The strength of this years Slam Dunk is unbelievable, they've knocked download and reading out the park IMO in terms of strength throughout the bill. Really happy Crossfaith have moved down the bill meaning no clash with TBS.

[dontburytodaydoittomorrow]

Announcement wednesday, Marmosets very likely
