Having confirmed Slam Dunk Festival 2020’s new dates after a major rescheduling effort, Slam Dunk looks to close the summer with a much-needed alternative celebration soundtracked by an indisputably impressive line-up.
Slam Dunk Festival adds punk rock trailblazers-turned-icons Alkaline Trio and genre-defining emo pioneers The Used to the festival’s new September instalment.
Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio said: “Even while we continue to stay home to do our part, we look forward to coming back to the UK for our first time in years! Slam Dunk will be amazing!”
Originally confirmed to play Slam Dunk Festival 2020 before an unmissable opportunity materialised for them Stateside, Utah’s noisiest sons The Used are back on track to make their Slam Dunk Festival debut in September.
The Used says: “We are very excited to announce that we’re back on the lineup for the rescheduled @slamdunkmusic dates in September!”
