Who has just been added to the Slam Dunk Festival 2022 line-up?

Rounding off their whirlwind UK headline tour this week, Australian pop-punkers Stand Atlantic will be back at Slam Dunk Festival, following an impressive debut in 2018.

The four-piece led by Bonnie Fraser are set to release their third album ‘F.E.A.R’ in May, a month before they return to the stages of Leeds and Hatfield.

Fresh from the digital release of their latest album ‘it’s fine’ which featured Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Lil Lotus and Lil Aaron, Smrtdeath will make their first-ever UK appearance at Slam Dunk Festival this summer.

Signing with Epitaph in 2020, the Canadian rapper/singer/multi-instrumentalist strikes a balance between energetic and depressive, effortlessly swapping acoustic melodramatics with anthemic synth-pop for the futurewave of pop-punk.

Achieving an astronomical social following on TikTok, Cassyette will bring her chest-thumping mix of pop, rock and metal to the Slam Dunk Festival stages.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, singer/songwriter DeathbyRomy is known for her mesmerising merge of hip-hop boldness and rock and roll swagger, and will also make her first-ever UK appearance on the stages of Leeds and Hatfield in June.

New Jersey ska-punk legends Streetlight Manifesto will be returning to Slam Dunk Festival almost 10 years after their first appearance.

Originally billed for Slam Dunk’s 2020 line-up, The Suicide Machines’ debut SDF performance will be a delight for many fans who revelled in the release of their latest album ‘Revolution Spring’ – their first in 15 years.

South Wales’ Punk Rock Factory are the high-energy, no-holds-barred punk powerhouse appearing at Slam Dunk Festival this summer for the very first time.

Their love for mashing up Disney-esque ballads and early 2000s rock music has resonated with a global online following of almost one million – and over 40 million TikTok likes.

The band said: "We're honoured and excited to be joining such an awesome Slam Dunk lineup this year! This will be our first year playing and we really can't wait to bring the party."

MC Lars is an alt-scene legend. Pioneering emo-rap in the mid 2000s, the Californian musician last appeared at Slam Dunk Festival in 2014.

South London’s rising self-proclaimed ‘dirtbag boyband’ Bears In Trees have just wrapped up their UK headline tour, including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Electric Ballroom.

Hailing from Los Angeles, pop-punk five-piece In Her Own Words will perform at Slam Dunk for the very first time this summer.
