If the tour keeps the same routing or at least the same size as the first one, they can't be at Slam Dunk unfortunately... Just seen this on the Ticketmaster NL website, weird how they haven't mentioned it on social media, hopefully as they have no dates after June they may tour the UK first in September then onto Europe September/October.

I don't think they'll play Slam Dunk at all, but the email I had off Slam Dunk indicated that ADTR was still planning on using the sites for the gigs they had announced in May.

Ah fair, i would imagine they are more likely to play shows indoors, no idea though. Cant see this going ahead anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Alkaline Trio and The Used have been announced for the new dates. Good additions although pretty poor The Used have now decided they’re free, if I were the Slam Dunk Booker I personally wouldn’t give them the time of day. Still not convinced this will go ahead but maybe it is a plan to go ahead until told otherwise and stop too many refunds and if it doesn’t happen roll the tickets until 2021 and try get as many bands as possible or they’ve already discussed this with the current lineup.

Jericode Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 The Used are back for the rescheduled dates, and they've also added Alkaline Trio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Alkaline Tro now make this very hard not to go for now, been waiting a long time to see them again. It's occured to me that Alkaline Trio will just clash with Sum 41, I'd have to choose Alkaline as I've seen Sum 41 twice since reforming. The Used I'm guessing will just slot in for State Champs. Unfortunately still only 50% chance of this happening. Edited April 20, 2020 by thewayiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy2913 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 As mentioned above, pretty cheeky of The Used like to suddenly decide they can do it. Fingers crossed this goes ahead still though, as the lineup is fantastic. Alkaline Trio is a pretty damn good get for them like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I've already been refunded for this but will definitely buy a ticket again if this does happen. Alkaline Trio are a great addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah AT has persuaded to try and make this work with lesser bands I'm into. I'd have seen Sum 41 and Billy Talent though I was split between them and FYS who I've seen most recent. Billy Talent aren't producing as good material though and their most recent single was a shocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1979666 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 If they still have Sum41 and Don Bronco, then where would Alk3 fit? Are they replacement headliners for NOFX? As for previous comments along the line of "they wouldn't clash x with x".....history says they would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traher666 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I love Alkaline Trio and would love to get hyped about seeing them, but they are one of the most garbage live bands I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I saw them once live and I left before the end. It was in 2012. Maybe they're better live now... About the schedule, they've never posted the plan for this year but I was thinking we could have 2 Main Stages playing without clash?

Padjeq Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I saw Alkaline Trio 05 or 06. Big fan at the time. Despite knowing every song, it was one of those gigs where it took until halfway through the first verse most of the time to figure out what song they were even playing. I will say I've seen other bands that I thought were bad live back then and then again in more modern times, and they'd really improved - probably a combination of better improvements in band skill and technology. Tbf I was always in the pit in those days and a lot of bands were just dirgey noise down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be lower could fit on main stage comfortable as I wouldn't say they are as heavy as Refused were to just slot in. The worst part about all this is it may well not even happen.

gary1979666 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 So with Reading / Leeds gone and recent govt announcements, do we reckon that Slam Dunk has had it now for 2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt. Sadly, I think everything that involves a crowd will be written off this year in the UK. Hopefully they can get as much of this year’s lineup back as they can for 2021.

They have already suggested they are hopeful of that. Saying that the more pessimistic types on the BST thread are already writing off 2021 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Not a surprise. But still a sad news. We should have almost the same line-up in 2021. I hope... if festivals can happen. What a weird time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
