I would have thought before the 31st Dec which was before the price bump which they sort of did in Nov though. So maybe before the next payment plan installment at the end of this month. I've been giving Pinkshift a listen simply because I've not heard of them before and they are on the line up. They are fairly decent, I might check them out at the fest now as long as they aren't clashing. Edited January 12 by jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilltheory Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Not so fussed on Neck Deep, but love Cancer Bats & The Bronx so happy with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 "We are very excited to inform you that Neck Deep are your 4th and final festival headliner! Also joining us we have Cancer Bats, The Bronx , The Summer Set, Point North, Mom Jeans. and As December Falls!" Wasn't expecting that! As there's 4 headliners does this mean: Main: Sum 41 Second: Dropkick Murphys Jagermeister: Alexisonfire Key Club: Neck Deep? Headlining Key Club seems too small for Neck Deep nowadays? Unless they're co-headlining with Sum 41? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) I'm always happy seeing The Bronx play so I'm happy with this announcement. 🙂 8 minutes ago, LazyDavid said: "We are very excited to inform you that Neck Deep are your 4th and final festival headliner!

chilltheory Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Reckon Neck Deep and Sum 41 will be on the main stages, then dkm on the punk in drublic equivalent stage & Aof on jager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Surprised about Neck Deep. I wasn’t expecting anymore headliners but I would’ve expected a bigger act as we’ve had Don Broco and All Time Low in the last few years who sell out a couple of Brixton dates. Surprised they’ve slept on Avril Lavigne this year with her new album being more pop punk leaning and Mod Sun being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe secret set with a view to headlining in 2023? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Avril would kinda fit the secret sets of recent times. I'd take that. Think Neck Deep are pretty shite tbh, but there's going to be decent choice so not an issue in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their early stuff is the best IMO but the Brand New Vision album has some tunes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 This American festival I've never heard of is like someone booked their dream Slam Dunk line up with no regard for realism, it's insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 It looks incredible, though the lowest price of $224.99 for a tier 1 ticket for a one-day event is eyewatering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're lucky if a festival here looks that good over 3 days, let alone one day. There is even the little temptation to head over. I know that Paramore, Avril Lavigne and AFI are going to be about here somewhere over the next 18 months though. I'd be quite surprised if Reading don't snap up Paramore. I think AFI will do Trees next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The reason I had her down as being the same as the last couple of secret sets is because she's someone folk would enjoy watching, but also someone who folk would scoff at if they were actually booked. I can't see Slam Dunk ever openly booking her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would eat that shit up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Thing is the festival is already a mix of punk to scoff at and punk to celebrate but it works as there's so many stages. There are bands that get booked constantly and are loved by some of the regulars in this thread which I think are complete utter shit but hey ho if folk like them and it doesn't impact the bands I want to see on the other stages so what. Besides it's Slam Dunk, if folk are worried about bring a credible punk then they shouldn't be going to the pop punk festival then. lol I don't think she is a high priority for Slam Dunk though but it is probably the festival most suitable to get her to play.

DomDom1984 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Fair enough. I just thought someone that's so blatantly "pop" would kinda get scoffed at. I couldn't see McFly and Busted getting booked properly either which is why I compared these. I'm still not entirely sure I'm wrong, but certain folk on here are fairly clued up on these things more than I so I'm willing to bow to this.

I just think Avril is more in the scene than Busted and McFly so would be a sensible booking. I don’t think her headlining the stages that Sum 41 or Neck Deep are headlining this year would be that strange. Think people would be pretty buzzing about it and she’s more pop punk than pop I’d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
