I'm fortunate that most of my acts are in the Jager tent anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, totally agree. Beyond excited for Slam Dunk...I haven't been since 2011 🤣🙈 stupid friends never wanted to come so this year I'm heading solo 🤘🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary1979666 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 BBC app has Hatfield as 10-15% chance of rain and up to 21C - without wishing to jinx it, pretty decent festival weather. Cannot wait! Getting the train rather than driving so I can have a few drinks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Getting more hyped for this as the week goes on! Currently set on: Blood Youth - Hacktivist - Loathe - Malevolence - Creeper - Your Demise - Trash Boat - Funeral For a Friend - Skindred - Frank Turner - WSS(half)/Boston Manor - Don Broco Looking back they've done pretty well with the line up considering the sheer amount of changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGW Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Anyone got any intel on the secret guest yet? I had a snoop and it was 3 days before in 2019 that they changed the app to say 'Y3K' so I'm hoping they drip feed us something today although not sure how without the app this year.

Others thought they were hinting at Mcfly because they said "Obviously, we've got one more secret" which sounds like more of a hint than the BMTH one. They have a gig on the day of the Leeds show but presumably could make it as the slot is pretty early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 McFly seems to be the main one I've seen, Neck Deep and You Me At Six other names mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binge.to.bopo Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Do many people get there for 9am when the gates open? I don't fancy wandering round solo for two and a half hours till the first band starts 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6l6e6x Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Are you not even allowed to take bottles of water into this? I'm super hyped though. 2 of my most listened to artists of the year (Don broco, holding absence) and a band I've loved but never seen ffaf all on the same day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binge.to.bopo Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Website states "You can't bring food and drink into the festival but we have a wide range of food stalls, bars and fresh water available across the site." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetchez Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 The Hara (if I get there in time) - *special guests* - Creeper - Trash Boat - Vukovi - Alkaline Trio - While She Sleeps - Don Broco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to time your arrival just before the first act you want to see, and then you can make the most of cheaper food/drink prices outside of the festival rather than inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGW Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 A lot of people on Facebook and Twitter really seem to think the secret guest is going to be Neck Deep and although I'd love to be wrong, I think they're going to be bitterly disappointed. ND have massive pull in terms of ticket sales, why on earth would they play a half hour set, unanounced, in the middle of the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think slam dunk are smart not announcing who the secret act is, because if they need to pull out for whatever reason, no one can be disappointed because no one knows who it was supposed to be... Also, if they do pull out, and they if they can't fill the slot, they could essentially ask one of the other bands to do a short acoustic set 🤷🏻♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGW Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Ok so I did say I'd love to be wrong. Really thought all signs pointed to McFly but this has thrown a spanner in the works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Had to refund my tickets as the person I got tickets wanted a refund for various reasons and I was unsure about buying them again as half of my mates had got refunds and I really only want to see Your Demise, Loathe and Funeral for a Friend and I'm going to tours for FFAF and Loathe next year though I managed to get a ticket for quite cheap on twickets yesterday! Looking like my day will be Loathe > check out the secret set > Malevolence > Your Demise > end of We Are the In Crowd > Funeral For a Friend > State Champs > Alkaline Trio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetchez Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) "Paper vaccination cards are not accepted." Does this mean those little cards we got at the vaccination centre or are they outright rejecting official proof of double vaccine passports? Does literally everything have to be on your phone?

I would assume it means the cards as the letters are official NHS documents offered as an alternative for those unable to access on smartphones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have shown on IG that your proof of vaccination must be via the digital passport options (the app or a downloaded pdf or printed pdf) - basically the official passport has a QR code that they'll scan with your ticket on the gate. A negative test result needs to be either via text or the NHS app. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
