Slam Dunk Festival 2020

[Andre91]

I’m thinking that we will get The Wonder Years and Motion City Soundtrack headlining the two outdoor stages next to each other (Dickies and Marshall?) one after the other so there’s no clashes like this year. 

[Jacksamthompson]

Theyve announced Sum 41 as 'the second headliner' so they're either heading up the tent (plz no) or co-headlining with Don Broco (maybe switching north and south dates a la Reading / Leeds?)

That’s what I’m thinking. The Punk In Drublic Stage is the second biggest outdoor stage and it is returning again and I can’t see them putting Don Broco (an arena band) or Sum 41 in a tent. 

They’ve also stated that the two heavy stage headliners are still to be announced. I’m thinking While She Sleeps and Every Time I Die will get announced after their tour is done early next year. They won’t clash like this year. I shouldn’t think that the Dickies and Marshall stages will clash again, either. 

I think the headliners will be: 

Main - Don Broco & Sum 41 

PID - NOFX 

Jagermeister - While She Sleeps 

Impericon - Every Time I Die 

Dickies - The Wonder Years 

Marshall - Motion City Soundtrack 

Key Club - We Are The In Crowd

Unless they string together an interesting undercard it's a pass for me. It's a decent announcement but it's made up of acts I've already seen recently or not really fussed about.

[Jericode]

I just need my girlfriend to make her mind up if she wants to bother and I'm there, line-up looks great already for me.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Can just see NoFX moving into a tent and Broco and Sum 41 headlining the two outdoor stages.

I’ve just got an email from See tickets. They said Sum 41 as co-headliners with Don Broco as I’m guessing that they will both be on the same stage and alternate who does the closing set 

[Jericode]

I'm thinking they're just on different stages, they called Good Charlotte and Jimmy Eat World co-headliners in 2018 and then directly clashed them.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Dont see why Sum 41, The Used and Billy Talent teased the announcement if they're not the final 3 on a stage. NoFX dont need an outdoor stage again, surely anyone who has already seen them wouldn't bother ever again given how terrible they are right!?

I really hope not, that annoyed a lot of people. If they do then it will be a tough decision between Broco and Sum 41.

NOFX are on the Punk In Drublic stage which I’m guessing will be outside again. By the sounds of it they could be headlining it as well 

[TommyS]

Excellent announcement, just got tickets for Hatfield.

I am a huge NOFX fan and I fucked off last year, because they were actual garbage.

I think they are on the 2nd stage, Sum 41 provide a great alternative to Don Broco and Billy Talent and The Used can quite easily play below them on that. I very much doubt they will alternate it but I can see them having a bigger stage for where B4MV played.

Maybe it's a stage curated by the 3? Who knows it's obviously a seperate stage for them to tease themselves as a trio and they tend to keep each stage a similar genre and let's be honest Broco are definitely not pop punk aha.

Billy Talent aren’t pop punk though are they?

[Traher666]

I'd love to see any of Code Orange, Vein, Jesus Piece or Venom Prison on the heavier stages. I would love Title Fight to play, but I think there is more chance of me getting on the bill, considering they do less than nothing anymore.

[Alex Winstone]

Would love to see this for the heavier stages

Jagermister: While She Sleeps, Bury Tomorrow, Ghostemane, Venom Prison, Vein, Employed To Serve, Lotus Eater

Impericon: Frank Carter, Enter Shikari (Secret Set) Basement, Your Demise, Drug Church, Gouge Away, Higher Power, Black Futures

Nor are The Used. The main stages aren't necessarily that similar. Hence why I think those 3 head up one, Broco headline the other and NoFX headline the tent.

That would make sense but then where does that leave the heavier stages when there were 2 in the tent last year? 

[Andre91]

After realising the amount of bands on that lineup that would probably be on a big outdoor stage, I think they’ll have two main stages now with Sun 41 and Broco clashing. 

Sum 41 / Billy Talent / The Used / Mayday Parade / Four Year Strong 

Don Broco / Angels and Airwaves (I’m holding out hope) / State Champs / The Story So Far / Issues

True, probably have a closer fan crossover than any of them do with Broco. All we're in their peak around the same time so people probably have the nostalgic feel for all 3.
Can see the main stage/whatever stage Broco play being heavier like the year shikari headlined.

I wouldn't be surprised with seeing State Champs or TSSF headlining their own stage at this point.
Maybe a lower down stage and staggered to not anger all the pop punk fans that want to end the day with Sum 41 aha.

[Traher666]

I wonder what the chances are for a side by side main stage with no clashes? Similar to what some of the European festivals do.

They’ve got that with smaller stages and it worked really well this year so that’d be a cool thing to see.

Oh yeah I know, I just meant with the main stages, I know some of the bigger European festivals do it with the top two.
