Slam Dunk 2019

[AshP]

Fingerd crossed for Beartooth, Four Year Strong, State Champs and someone fun like Chunk! No Captain Chunk. Alexisonfire or ADTR for the 'Good Charlotte' slot from last year would be incredible.

FYS and State Champs both played last year, might get one but not both.

[berger55]

Sum 41 and Neck Deep would be nice!

[Andre91]

Give us Alkaline Trio.

Yup I'm game for that. More likely for 2000 Trees though I reckon.

I’m bored of SD always getting the same bands. 

Same actually and with the new site not being in Leeds I might not bother this year. I really want to do Outbreak Festival and the Bon Iver APE day this year so I might sack off SD. Only bands that would really get me interested are Title Fight or a Modern Baseball reunion but I don't see either happening.

Here's hoping  Alexisonfire, Marmozets, Basement, PUP, Four Year Strong, Fidlar, Fever 333, Joyce Manor, Turnstile, Title Fight, Neck Deep, The Interrupters, Milllencolin all get annouced

PUP, Joyce Manor, Turnstile and Title Fight would be nice but I can't see any of them playing. Also I wouldn't say FIDLAR are a Slam Dunk band.

If the announcement this week isn’t decent then I’ll be tempted to give SD a miss and go to Alice In Chains at Wembley instead.

ADTR are too big for Slam Dunk now, they're contenders for headlining Download.

I used to think that till I went to see them at Birmingham arena last year and it was half empty. I dont think theyre as popular as they were 10 years ago at all.

I'm kind of with the guy below, I think they need something majorly good to get that bump up this soon.

[Andre91]

ADTR are bigger than they were 10 years ago. Their arena tour on the whole sold well. They’ll be back in arenas with a new album no question. 

[DomDom1984]

Thursday pulled out of Slam Dunk last time, didn't they? They're doing War All the Time in the U.S. just now. Just thought they might be worth a thought.

Apparently 10 of the 11 they're announcing tomorrow have never played the festival before.

The other one is probably Zebrahead.

Less than Jake apparently self confirmed so they'll be the one

Really?! I just said to my friend and on FB post that I reckon LTJ will be the one. Zebrahead are elsewhere

Yeah on stage at some point of this tour I believe

[Jericode]

Any guesses for the other 10?

[LRDJ]

Zebrahead at Download is interesting, maybe they'll be secret special guests this year.

[berger55]

Maybe something like Dropkick Murphys, Papa Roach or State Champs

[Jericode]

Papa Roach would be surprising, State Champs played this year and are at Download so probably won't do it next year.

Dropkick Murphys I can see happening.

If Dropkicks and Papa Roach both played that would be ace...and tbf if Download had them I'd expect it to have come today.

[DomDom1984]

I suspect Dropkicks are on there. Don't expect them to have Papa Roach. Can see them being lower main stage fodder at DL. Would be perfect for that.

Have Crossfaith played before?

Very much potential for this to be the line-up to go to again this year...at £65 a ticket now for a day it's needs to be a bit stronger at the top end.

Papa Roach wouldn't be that far down at Download tbh...4th down/subbing 2nd.

[LRDJ]

I don't think any of The Front Bottoms, Marmozets, Against The Current, MxPx, SWMRS, Remo Drive, Tiny Moving Parts, Smash Mouth, Hawthorne Heights, Movements, Microwave, Flogging Molly and Knocked Loose have played before. I could see any of those playing. Maybe even Turnstile if Outbreak would ever let them.

Yep, 2017, great set too.

Marmozets did in 2014, the rest seem like available options. ATC would be a nice choice.

Still betting on Simple Plan, they've not played it yet surprisingly.
