Slam Dunk Festival pushed back from May to September
UK weekender Slam Dunk has confirmed it'll take place in September, if government ruling permits
www.loudersound.comHere’s what I can share about Slam Dunk Festival based on the latest widely reported information up to now.
Direct answer
- Slam Dunk Festival remains a major UK two-site festival, typically held on Hatfield Park (South) and Leeds (Temple Newsam), usually in late May, with separate days for the north and south events. For 2024–2025 coverage, it continued to run on those two sites with annual lineups and ticket drops aligned to those dates. If you’re looking for the exact year-by-year lineup or specific dates for 2026 or 2027, I can pull the most current details for you.
Overview and recent trends
- Format and venues: Slam Dunk is known as the UK’s large independent pop-punk/emo-leaning festival, operating across two sites on consecutive days (often a Saturday at Hatfield Park and a Sunday at Temple Newsam). This dual-site structure has been a consistent feature in recent years, designed to accommodate the festival’s growing attendance.[5][8]
- 2024–2025 snapshots: In late 2024, Slam Dunk announced or confirmed return plans for 2025 with tickets and lineups released in the lead-up to the May dates, including their typical multi-venue approach across Hatfield Park and Temple Newsam. By late 2025, coverage indicated preparations for the 2026 edition and the 20th anniversary, pointing to a continued emphasis on their two-site model and early lineup reveals.[2][6]
