Festival organisers teased a special guest spot on the Key Club Stage under the name Y3K prior to the festival.
The secret act was revealed in Leeds on Saturday when Year 3000 stars Busted played Slam Dunk North in its new outdoor site in Temple Newsam Park.
Here are pictures of Busted playing Slam Dunk Festival North.

And chart-toppers Busted - James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson - went down a storm at Slam Dunk South in Hatfield Park.
The band's short festival set included hits Air Hostess, What I Go To School For, Crashed The Wedding, 3AM and, of course, Year 3000.
Following their Hatfield performance, Charlie Simpson tweeted: "It was an absolute pleasure to play this year's secret set at @SlamDunkMusic 2019.
"Thanks to everyone who came down and made it a weekend to remember! #Y3K"
Slam Dunk organisers also tweeted: "Big thanks to @Busted for 2 amazing Secret sets at #SDF19 on @thekeyclubleeds stage #Y3K"
The festival's main stage was headlined by American band All Time Low.
