The touring pop-punk, ska, rock, metal and punk festival returns to The Forum Hertfordshire, on the University of Hertfordshire’s College Lane campus, on Sunday, May 24.
You Me At Six are due to headline the main stage in Hatfield, as well as the festival’s two others sites in Leeds and Wolverhampton.
With the Surrey rockers’ debut Take Off Your Colours released on Slam Dunk Records, there was internet speculation YMAS would play the album in full at the festival’s 10th anniversary bash this year.
However, the Sinners Never Sleep group’s frontman, Josh Franceschi, has set the record straight in an interview in this week’s Kerrang! magazine.

Franceschi said: “The rumours are... incorrect.
“However, this being the 10th year of Slam Dunk, as well as You Me At Six’s 10th year, we will be extensively paying homage to that with songs from our first record.”

Slam Dunk Festival organiser Ben Ray added: “After seeing so many rumours flying around the internet about the You Me At Six set, I think it’s great they have let people know what they are planning to do.
“Although not the whole album, I think it will be enough to give the fans what they want.
“I am so proud for the album to have been released on Slam Dunk Records, and after not having seen them played live for a while, it will make the weekend even more special for me.
“It will certainly bring back some great memories.”
