Ok...so thinking about buying my sister and her friend a ticket for my sister's 14 birthday...thing is they won't have any ID as they are 14....no passport.

They will be with 2 adults. Can anyone advise whether this will be an issue at all?

Yeah I was 14 at my first Slam Dunk South, they definitely wont ask for ID, it would be too much of a hassle with the amount of people there.

Announcement tomorrow according to Facebook.  Any ideas who we'll get?

[justanothername]

Not sure but hoping for Modern Baseball, Spraynard, Captain We're Sinking, The Story So Far, Frank Carter, Title Fight, letlive, The Hotelier and Gnarwolves

Set Your Goals! Nice

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Was just about to post that. Don't think I'll be attending this year, it's doing nothing for me.

[justanothername]

The Story So Far and Set Your Goals are nice additions. Still need a bit more though. So now it is NFG, FYS, TSSF, ETID, Set Your Goals and Real Friends. Not bad but not great. I still image the rest of the line up working out though.

Hasn't got a patch on last year's lineup thus far. 

[gary1979666]

I'm the same - was hoping for some gems of yore, but only really NFG there I'd like to see.  Plenty I'd watch in a lull, but not enough to lure me into buying a ticket yet.

8 more bands on the 10th Feb, hoping for Modern Baseball and Frank Carter, would be cool if we got someone like Bowling for Soup/Alien Ant Farm or Good Charlotte as a bigger act. No idea who to expect though, just going for NFG and Panic! For the misses birthday present so the rest will be just drinks and checking out what others have recommended and new bands.

If they're in Kerrang then I'll post them later as the digital version usually goes live at around midnight.

They've just posted up a pic of yellowcard's ocean ave album online. So I'll assume they'll be on the lineup tomorrow,hopefully playing the full album.

Has this gone live yet? Not sure it'll have it in kerrang though as its not mentioned on the front cover. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah they are playing Ocean Avenue. Also Mayday Parade, Hit the Lights, Cancer Bats, Roam, Norma Jean, Hacktivist and Northlane

Nah. Not feeling this announcement. Would see ROAM, Cancer Bats and Yellowcard but not bothered by any of them.

Should just book Joyce Manor and be done with it

[Chaarlie]

I was really excited for this year after last especially with the bands around right now, sum 41, all time low, maybe even fall out boy but I don't even see any bands lower down I like, after moose blood's success last year I think it's stupid not to book them again. Does anyone know of / recommend an alternative to slam dunk in the UK or Europe because I don't think I'll be going this year :/

[pryce]

id go for Yellowcard doing Ocean Avenue in full ...love that album, not a lot else though which is a shame

[gary1979666]

It's all a bit average for me.  Lots of bands I'd check out if I was there, but no one really grabbing me to make me buy a ticket.

[foolee]

Next Wednesday for the next announcement - 24th - 8 more bands for anyone interested in here which is not many, if any at the minute. 

No expecting any big names now really as it's quite late on but maybe they'll surprise us, be interesting to know how ticket sales are going... Hoping for Frank Carter and Modern Baseball

[gary1979666]

I assumed that it was because I'm getting a bit old for it and I don't know the up and coming bands, but is there a general consensus that it's a bit pants this year?

Doubtful of Modern Baseball. They're over here next week and April and I don't see them coming back over again in a short space of time. But I'm seeing them on both tours so I don't care

Also I'd like Frank Carter. Hopefully the end of the Kerrang tour means he'll be announced

[lightning1000]

Does anyone else think it's strange the wonder years haven't announced a UK headline tour yet? Surely they can't just be supporting enter shikari?

Probably playing Reading and Leeds then do a headline tour after.

R&L Exclusive then own tour I bet. With regards to that tour and clashing, TKB being at Glasto now is great.

[lightning1000]

If they're r&l exclusive they better be headlining the pit.
