Slam Dunk Festival 2018: A – Zebrahead


Over the coming weeks, Already Heard will be highlighting a variety of bands set to play the Slam Dunk Festival later this year.

Having graced the Slam Dunk Festival with their presence for the past four years, California party punks Zebrahead will be returning for a fifth consecutive year this May. Known for their rap-tinged, pop-punk hooks, the Cali quintet are the perfect party band for SDF weekend.

While they put the finishing touches to their forthcoming 13th album, ‘Happily Never After’, ahead of its mid-2018 release, we asked lead vocalist Ali Tabatabaee to give us the A-Z guide of the Slam Dunk Festival. Well, sort of…
