We all know Slam Dunk festival will be massive this year. If you find yourself having any free time, here are the bands you should definitely check out!

CASEY

Bering added to the ‘Breakout’ stage already highlights that Casey are a band to watch out for. From the south of Wales, Casey are a melodic hardcore band who are already receiving support from larger bands such as Being As An Ocean. This band is certainly one to watch if you can! Make sure to find them on the Rocksound Breakout Stage this year!

CROSSFAITH

Okay, despite being on the main stage we’re still putting them on this list because you definitely need to catch them this year. Returning to Slam Dunk after 2015, Japanese electro-rockers Crossfaith are ready to hit the stage after the release of hit album XENO. If you want an energetic set with a lot of moshing and jumping, Crossfaith are the band for you. Check them out at the Main Stage at the festival!

MILK TEETH

We all need a bit of punk rock in our lives at some point, so why not check out British band Milk Teeth. After the release of their debut album ‘Vile Child’ back in 2016, they are ready to tear up the stage this year. With a different kind of style to a lot of the bands playing, Milk Teeth are certainly a band to change-up your day a little. Milk teeth are playing the Signature Stage this year, make sure to check them out!
