Top alt-weekender, Slam Dunk Festival has revealed the third wave of punk, hardcore and rock names for their 2020 weekend.

Joining the already announced headliners Don Broco and Sum 41, and an already stacked undercard that includes the likes of Issues, Billy Talent, State Champs and a load more, organisers have announced the following new names:

Refused
Comeback Kid
Deez Nuts
Movements
Free Throw
Mom Jeans
Young Guns
Fit For A King
Bedouin Soundclash
Reel Big Fish
Face To Face
The Vandals

Andrew Neufeld of Comeback Kid says “A couple years back, I remember getting scared to play Slam Dunk because all the bands were killing it so hard, but ‘Imma say that the CBK concert goers did not disappoint! They made sure to let us know they were coming in hot and we made triple sure back!”

Deez Nuts Frontman JJ Peters says; “It’s been 4 years since we’ve played Slam Dunk, it was an amazing time all the way back then, so I can’t wait to see how much it’s grown. Plus our stage line up is a dream come true for us, hopefully for you too haha.”

On their Slam Dunk debut, Corey Castro of Free Throw says;
“From hearing fun stories from my friends to watching videos and seeing how awesome the festival looks, it’s been a goal for me and the band to play Slam Dunk Festival for a while. Not to mention sharing basketball related names. I’m really looking forward to the Free Throw/Slam Dunk connection!”

As far as announcements go, these are getting better and better but if you want a reminder of how good the alt weekender was last year,l you can check out some of our photos here:
