The Ghost Inside and State Champs are among the latest acts added to the jam-packed Slam Dunk Festival line-up for 2024.
A celebration of all things pop-punk, emo, metal and alternative music, Hatfield Park will host the festival on Saturday, May 25, before Slam Dunk heads home to Leeds on Saturday, May 26.
As well as The Ghost Inside and State Champs, The Blackout are inviting festival-goers to join their 15th anniversary celebrations of The Best In Town.
Against The Current will be heading to Slam Dunk off the back of their successful Nightmares And Daydreams World Tour, along with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, pop punkers Honey Revenge, and alt-pop-punk TikTok megastar Taylor Acorn.
Stick To Your Guns will be marking 20 years of performing at the festival, while H2O, Big D and the Kids Table, and Snuff are also billed to appear.
You Me At Six and The All American Rejects have already been announced as the headliners for Slam Dunk, with the likes of Waterparks, Palaye Royale, and The Interrupters all set to perform.
"We are looking forward to returning to Slam Dunk this year to headline the festival," said You Me At Six’s Josh Franceschi.
"Slam Dunk has given You Me At Six so much over our career and we’ve got a lot of special memories from performing there over the years.
"The line-up is stacked with great artists, so it will be an elite one."
This year's festival – with The Offspring and Enter Shikari as main stage headliners – was sold out, and there were major issues for motorists on the A414 getting onto the Hatfield festival site.
Slam Dunk officials have fully investigated "why things went wrong" and will be introducing "solutions and improvements" for next year.
Slam Dunk Festival South has been held in the grounds of stately home Hatfield House since 2018, having previously been staged at the University of Hertfordshire's College Lane Campus from 2010 to 2017.
