French rock group Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! were due to play this year’s festival but had to pull out due to an injury to the band’s drummer Bastien Lafaye.

In August, a group statement said: “Our drummer Bastien injured his shoulder pretty bad this summer, we hoped it would get better by the end of August but he’s still in recovery and playing drums at the moment could cause permanent damages to his shoulder so we have to put his long-term health first.”

Following last week’s 2022 line-up announcement, the group posted on Facebook: “Stoked to announce we’ll be back for Slam Dunk 2022, see you all next year! #SDF22”

Slam Dunk Festival South successfully returned to Hatfield Park in September 2021 after a succession of COVID related postponements.

Next year's festival will take place a bit later than normal, with the annual music event moved from its traditional late May Spring Bank Holiday weekend slot to the 2022 Queen's Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.

As well as the newly announced bands, the Slam Dunk 2022 line-up includes The Used, The Wonder Years, Motion City Soundtrack, Hot Milk and Meet Me at The Altar, with many more to be announced.

Slam Dunk Festival North will take place in Leeds on Friday, June 3 before the festival moves south to Hertfordshire the following day.
