With just two weeks to go until the return of everyones favourite pop punk festival Slam Dunk in Leeds and Hatfield we thought we would give you the heads up on some of the artists to check out this year. Alongside this years headlining acts are some great bands that are definitely worth checking out. Below our a few of our Slam Dunk Festival ones to watch.
#1 BAND: As It Is
First up on our ones to watch list for this years festival are the wonderful As It Is. If you haven’t seen this band in previous years at Slam Dunk you’re really missing out. These guys are pros at their live performances and frontman Patty Walters knows how to get a crowd involved. This is the bands first time playing the main stage so be sure to head to the Monster Energy Stage early to check out their set.
