The Wonder Years for main now that their tour with Shikari is over

Who would everyone say is the best pop punk bands on the lineup? I know there's a fair few!

Can't decide between The Story So Far, Four Year Strong and Gnarwolves. This is too tough

Don't think they'll play. Touring the UK a few weeks before Slam Dunk and doing dates nearby the sites themselves. Just go and see them do their own headline sets with Into It. Over It (should be awesome)

I AM !  but would like to see them at SDF

The Story So Far. Easily. Along with The Wonder Years, they're the best Pop Punk band on the planet for me. 

FYS is a good shout though, they're an awesome live band.

How are the wonder years still classed as pop punk? The new album certainly isn't and it's been making its way away from that in previous releases too.

Who do we think and hope is announced on Wednesday?

Hoping for the wonder years. If they're not added I'm giving it a miss. There are 3 acts I want to see and they're all on at the same time. My wife wants to see panic and they're also on at that time.

Who else is on the same time as panic as the times haven't been released or is that just an educated guess?

Oh I agree. I think its really unfair to call them a pop punk band, because they're so much more than that. But that's still where they are put, I guess.

Oh no, NFG are headlining a stage while Panic! are on, that's a bit of a nightmare for me as Panic! and NFG were two reasons why I got the tickets, those as well as The King Blues headlining a stage might mean I'll be watching more different bands than expected. Do you know anymore of the splits or know when they're due to be released?

Where are we getting the clashes or closing acts from?

[Gozpot]

As It Is doing a UK tour that ends the day before the first day of Slam Dunk, seems likely they'll be announced on Wednesday.

Not a chance I'd have thought.....they need to sell that tour out and it's easy to get tickets. Didn't even know they had their own tour on sale, be nice if it was a bit closer to me, can't be bothered to go to Notts or London for it.

There's quite noticeably no dates in the Midlands, London or Leeds though (apparently I've not seen the dates)

That's a good point....they would certainly help push for a ticket. For the price it is you only need to see about 5 acts probably. The whole Slam Dunk lineup could be better than the R&L lineup lol.

Not from anywhere solid. My friend at a record shop that sells tickets for one of the legs

[Gozpot]

No Midlands or Leeds dates and a tiny London date, all but confirms it, will be announced Wednesday in all likelihood

[oneoftherest]

I know Turnstile are still to be announced, whether they're sooner or later idk

[oneoftherest]

As It Is are playing Sheffield, so I don't know if that'd discount Leeds

If they're added I expect it to be later to let the tour sell a little first

They're on the tail end of s campaign so wouldn't surprise me if they skipped festivals this summer

They were great supporting TSSF but I never got round to listening to them properly afterwards. Would be happy with on the bill

Anyone have a leak?
