Ah, festival season. The sun is shining, your favourite artists are playing, and you’ve almost certainly had a burger and/or loaded fries for breakfast.

The August bank holiday weekend usually signals the end of summer. We’ve had All Points East, Lost Village, and Shambala festivals, just to name a few, plus Notting Hill Carnival. Now that they’re over, you’d be forgiven for ditching the sunnies in favour of a knitted jumper, ready to hibernate until next year.

However, if you’re like us and you need something to tide you over until the temperature rises above 20 degrees again, let’s talk about festivals for 2023!

Slam Dunk is a music festival held in Leeds and Hertfordshire each year. Fans of pop punk, emo, metal and alternative music flock to the festival each May/June to enjoy a stellar line-up.

Incredible acts have already been announced for the 2023 festival, including Enter Shikari, The Offspring, Bowling For Soup, and Billy Talent, plus loads more.

So banish those festival blues, and let’s get excited for next summer! Here’s how to buy tickets for Slam Dunk 2023.

Those hoping to go to Slam Dunk North will have to wait until Friday 16th September to buy tickets, but tickets for the Slam Dunk South presale and both after parties are live at 10am today (Friday 2nd September).
