Therefore I’m so happy to be able to confirm the majority will be returning.”

Don Broco are set to headline off the back of 2018’s Technology, a record which scored the Bedfordshire rockers their highest UK charting position to date.

The four piece – comprising Rob Damiani, Simon Delaney, Matt Donnelly and Tom Doyle – rose through the British underground with Thug Workout towards the end of the ’10s, before releasing their debut Priorities in 2012 and their mainstream breakthrough Automatic three years later.

They most recently unveiled new single ACTION in 2019, teaming up with some of the global rock scene’s most prominent vocalists for an alternative version.

They join co-headliners Sum 41, who dropped their seventh studio album Order In Decline in 2019, having made a permanent stamp on the pop-punk scene since their All Killer No Filler debut in 2001. Leading the charge with singles Fat Lip and In Too Deep, the band have remained a live fixture across the globe ever since.

Slam Dunk Festival will also welcome back the Punk In Drublic Stage, headlined and curated by Los Angeles punk veterans NOFX.

The line-up will also welcome 3Oh!3, Mayday Parade, The Wonder Years, Motion City Soundtrack, Code Orange, Four Year Strong, Young Guns, Basement and many more artists from across alternative music.
