Motion City Soundtrack, 3OH!3, Sum 41, More To Play Slam Dunk Festival 2021

While COVID ruined both attempts for a Slam Dunk this year, the British festival are hoping that nothing dampens their 15th anniversary.

“We are very pleased to confirm the final list of artists who were due to play SDF20 and will be returning to play SDF21,” the festival wrote in a statement “As the vast majority of you have kept hold of your tickets for next year it seemed only right to try to bring back as many SDF20 artists as we could. If an artists was due to play 2020 and they are not on the poster, this means they are unfortunately not able to play at SDF21. We will be announcing new artists in the coming months.”

The bands announced for SD21 so far include previous 2020 headliners Sum 41 and Don Broco, along with Motion City Soundtrack, We Are The In Crowd, 3OH!3, Bury Tomorrow, I Am The Avalanche, Dance Gavin Dance, Pennywise, A, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, and Yours Truly. Check out the current lineup below.

Artists returning from 2020 include Movements, Comeback Kid, Face To Face, Zebrahead, and Doll Skin.

However, not everyone scheduled for SD20 will be attending next year’s festivities. As Slam Dunk stated earlier, “If an artists was due to play 2020 and they are not on the poster, this means they are unfortunately not able to play at SDF21.” The bands and artists currently not on the bill are Bayside, Bedouin Soundclash, Derek Sanders of Mayday Parade, Elder Brother, Fit For A King, The Movielife, Polaris, Refused, The Suicide Machines, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife and I Am The Avalanche, and We Came As Romans.  

Tickets are still available to purchase. Slam Dunk also said that if you have a ticket for SD20, it will be valid for SD21. “Just to confirm SDF20 ticket orders remain valid for SDF21, your ticket provider will send your ticket closer to the event. If you have any questions about tickets please contact customer services of your ticket provider (See tickets if you followed the links on our website) There are a limited number of tickets remaining at SDF20 prices.”
