Slam Dunk Music Festival is a heaven on Earth for punk-rock lovers, and its next edition will be nothing short of amazing. Sum 41 is leading the lineup, filled with some of the world’s leading punk artists.

The band’s frontman Deryck Whibley discussed their headlining spot with Kerrang, and admitted they’ve wanted to play at the festival for some time, but the scheduling never worked out.

“Slam Dunk is a festival we’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and until now we’ve never been able to pull it off. To finally be appearing at Slam Dunk is a great feeling – it’s been a long time coming,” said Whibley.

Sum 41 isn’t the only beloved punk band set to perform at this festival. The list of performers also includes co-headliner Don Broco and bands The Used, Billy Talent, and NOFX. Concerts will take place on May 23rd, 2020 at Leeds Temple Newsam and May 24th, 2020 at Hatfield Park.
