\"\"<\/figure>\n

Once again it’s that time of year when fans of pop punk, hardcore, metal and rock throughout the UK come together to celebrate some of the best bands currently around. Without a doubt the annual Slam Dunk Festival<\/b> is one of our favourite festivals of the year. It never fails to deliver a stellar line-up and to say this years bill is unbelievable is an understatement.<\/p>\n

With over 50 acts set to play, we’ve (somehow) compiled a list of 15 bands that you HAVE to see at Slam Dunk Fest<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Pvris<\/b>
\nThere is literally no hotter new band on the planet right now then Pvris<\/b>. Lynn Gunn and her band wowed UK fans with their debut UK appearances in recent months and Slam Dunk will be no different. Their stratospherically huge electro meets pop rock sound has to be heard to be believed, and given that Slam Dunk will be the first chance most of us get to hear tracks from the epic \u2018White Noise\u2019 album live, Pvris<\/b> are the single most must see band of Slam Dunk 2015. (DW)\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 2:30pm (North\/Midlands) \/ 2:15 (South) – Main Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Patent Pending<\/b>
\nSlam Dunk has always been about fun, energetic performances, and that is something which criminally under-rated Long Islander\u2019s Patent Pending have made their calling card. Plus their take on pop-punk features elements of do-wop and classic pop with plenty of big riffs to complete the package. If that wasn\u2019t enough checking out Patent Pending this weekend will mean you get to hear \u2018Hey Mario\u2019 and see frontman Joe bouncing around pretending to be Mario himself. And who wouldn\u2019t want to witness that. (DW)\n<\/p>\n

Where & When: 2:15pm – Desperados Stage<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Transit<\/b>
\nThe Indie-punks from Boston have been regular visitor\u2019s to Slam Dunk over the years and know exactly what it takes to please the Leeds, Hatfield and Wolverhampton crowds. Transit<\/b>\u2019s peppy, melodic and brilliantly reflective indie-pop hits from newest album \u2018Joyride\u2019<\/i> and AH favourites \u2018Young New England\u2019<\/i> and \u2018Listen and Forgive\u2019<\/i> are sure to go down a storm again this year. (DW)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:55pm – Macbeth Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This Wild Life<\/b>
\nThe achingly gorgeous harmonies and acoustic guitar wizardry turned out by Kevin Jordan and Anthony Del Grasso are every bit as awesome live as they were on last year\u2019s brilliant \u2018Clouded\u2019<\/i>. Prepare to bask in the wonderfulness of the pair\u2019s bitter-sweet, life affirming anthems that will still be lodged in your brain long after the festival is over.\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 6:15pm – ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Rob Lynch<\/b>
\nAlready Heard\u2019s favourite folk-punk troubadour Rob Lynch<\/b> brings his full band show to Slam Dunk for the first time this year. After establishing himself as a regular favourite on the SD Acoustic Stage, Rob and his band are set to be one of the standout\u2019s of the ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage this time around. From start to finish singalongs and fists and beers waved joyfully in the air will be the order of the day. If you don\u2019t already, by the end of this set you\u2019ll know every word of \u2018My Friends and I\u2019<\/i> and you\u2019ll love every second.\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 5:25pm – ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Zebrahead<\/b>
\nThe Zebrahead<\/b> boys are pretty much unable to play a show without turning it into one hell of a booze soaked party. And given this year\u2019s Slam Dunk is one massive party to celebrate it\u2019s tenth birthday what better band to celebrate with then the mighty MFZB. The beer and jaeger will be flowing and flying in epic proportions when Matty Lewis, Ali Tabatabaee and co bring their pop-punk hip-hop cross over hits and get the appropriately sponsored Desperados stage bouncing. (DW)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 6:00pm – Desperados Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We Are The Ocean<\/b>
\nThis Essex four-piece are veterans of the festival having appeared a handful of times previously. However with new album ‘Ark’<\/i> receiving mixed feedback, they return to Slam Dunk with a point to prove. Nevertheless with new cuts such as ‘Holy Fire’<\/i> bringing a sense of grandeur to their new, approachable rock sound, we expect the vocal talents of Liam Cromby to leave many stunned. Whilst old favourites ‘The Waiting Room’<\/i> and ‘Young Heart’<\/i> are certain get the crowd moving in the middle afternoon on the main stage.\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 3:25pm (North\/Midlands) \/ 3:15pm (South) – Main Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Architects<\/b>
\nAt Slam Dunk Brighton’s metalcore giants Architects<\/b> will be bringing down the curtain of ‘Lost Forever \/\/ Lost Together’<\/i> in fashion as they headline the Monster Energy stage. Having exceeded expectations with their recent UK headline tour, Architects<\/b> are one of the most consistent UK live bands right now. With an arsenal of powerful and mighty songs, there’s no doubt will leave you feeling not just battered and brusied but also very satisifed. (SR)\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 9:35pm – Monster Energy Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Goldfinger<\/b>
\nAfter pulling out of last year’s festivals, John Feldmann and company return to Slam Dunk to make up for lost time. With songs such as ‘Superman’<\/i>, ‘Here In Your Bedroom’<\/i> and ‘Spokesman’<\/i> being So Cal punk classics, Goldfinger<\/b> know how to put on a memorable show. Sure they’re a bit older than most of the bands on the bill but they’re young at heart and definitely know how to truly party. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:05pm – Desperados Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Wonder Years<\/b>
\nHaving stole the show two years, The Wonder Years<\/b> come back to Slam Dunk having completed work on a new untitled record and ready to take on the world once more. Whilst we don’t know much about the album, we do know the Philadelphia group will deliver one of the most memorable sets of the weekend. Expect a wave of massive singalongs and crowdsurfing bodies. We wouldn’t want it any other way. (SR) <\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 9:50pm – Macbeth Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A Loss For Words<\/b>
\nAs part of their Massachusetts’ groups last venture to the UK, Slam Dunk is the perfect way to say farewell to A Loss For Words<\/b> before they call it time later this year. Their brand of upbeat, melodic pop punk is an ideal fit for Slam Dunk and with the always exceptional vocals of Matty Arsenault, you’re bound to be left walking away with happy memories of A Loss For Words<\/b>. (SR)\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 5:05pm – Macbeth Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

As It Is<\/b>
\nWe’ve been giving As It Is<\/b> a lot of love here on Already Heard<\/b> in recent months and it’s all well deserved. Having been labelled as one of our 50 bands to watch back in January, ‘Never Happy, Ever After’<\/i> lived up to the hype upon its release last month. With it’s mix of infectious hooks and lyrical sincerity, the album has won many over. They’re certainly a band on the rise, and with a 2 month joint on the Vans Warped Tour imminent, this is the perfect to time to As It Is<\/b>. So get yourself down to the Macbeth stage early. (SR)<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 1:30pm – Macbeth Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"Moose Blood<\/b>
\nYou’re probably thinking “Oh here we go again! Already Heard are praising Moose Blood<\/b>”. And you’d be right. The rise of Moose Blood<\/b> has exceeded in recent months. Following the release of the exception ‘I’ll Keep You Mind, From Time To Time’<\/i> last October, there has been no stopping for the Canterbury group. They make their Slam Dunk debut by headlining the ‘Fresh Blood’ stage, which champions the best up-and-coming bands the festival has to offer, and they don’t get much better than Moose Blood<\/b>. (SR)
\n<\/figure>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 8:45pm – ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Baby Godzilla<\/b>
\nWithout question Baby Godzilla<\/b> are one of the heaviest bands you’ll probably see all weekend. Their live shows are notorious for being beyond chaotic. No matter how big or small stage they’re playing, it’s likely the band will end up somewhere amongst the masses. With songs like ‘Powerboat Disaster’<\/i> and ‘The Great Hardcore Swindle’<\/i> being suitably trashy, Baby Godzilla<\/b> will lay waste to Slam Dunk and then some. (SR)\n<\/p>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 7:50pm – ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage<\/p>\n

\"\"Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties<\/b>
\nYou could say Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties<\/b> is at the opposite of the spectrum compared to aforementioned Baby Godzilla<\/b>, however with Slam Dunk being so diverse the solo project of The Wonder Years<\/b>’ Dan “Soupy” Campbell is a welcomed addition. Last years ‘We Don’t Have Each Other’<\/i> swept us away with Campbell’s heartfelt and immersive narrative. Campbell’s venture into folk and Americana paid off and now he’s bringing the project to Slam Dunk. Sure he’s tales will leave us feeling a little sad but nevertheless we’ll also be walking away feeling very satisfied. (SR) <\/figure>\n

Where & When:<\/b> 2:55pm – ‘Fresh Blood’ Stage<\/p>\n
