I’M NOT GONNA EVEN PRETEND TO HIDE HOW FREAKIN PUMPED WE ARE TO BE PLAYING A STAGE PACKED WITH ALL OF OUR BEST HOMIES ALLLLLL DAY!!! THIS LINE-UP IS THE SICKEST SPACE JAM OF A SLAM DUNK LINE-UP SINCE MICHAEL JORDAN AND BUGS BUNNY TEAMED UP TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE !!!”
The Bronx add: “We are super stoked to be back on the court for Slam Dunk ’19! Make no mistake, we are going to f--- s--- up.”
Justice of Angel Du$t enthuses: "Slam Dunk is the phattest. Thanks for having us over to rock your stage and pet your dog."

Milk Teeth comment: “Back once again with the ill behaviour. Milk three take on Slam Dunk! We are super excited to be part of an amazing line-up. See you there”
Atreyu say: "It’s been far too long since Atreyu has touched down on UK soil. We can’t think of a better way to break the silence than Slam Dunk Fest! Get your big kid pants on...it’s gonna be a ripper!”
Sammy of WSTR adds: "Slam Dunk is a special one for us. They’ve backed us from the start and we’ve been going to it a long time before we started playing it. It’s been cool watching it grow from a small venue in Leeds to huge locations around the country. Looking forward to playing it again this year!"
Nikki of Pagan says: “We are stoked to come back to one of our favourite places in the world, to play our first ever European festival! Getting to play with bands such as Glassjaw, Saves The Day and The Get Up Kids is like a childhood dream. Cannot wait to party again in the UK!"
