Slam Dunk Festival has announced the first big names for their 2023 line up.
Punk rock royalty The Offspring will be returning to the UK as Slam Dunk Festival co-headliners, along with Enter Shikari. Rou Reynolds, from Enter Shikari, said: "I’ve been intoxicated by the idea of headlining Slam Dunk again ever since our Take To The Skies celebration headline set back in 2017.
“It’s such a great festival, always nails its bills, and has the added bonus that us lads can actually cycle to the Southern date, being that Hatfield is a neighbouring town to us. In fact, essentially, this will be our biggest ‘hometown’ show ever, now that the festival has grown even more. I cannot wait. In fact, I will not wait. I demand we play this tomorrow.

“I think playing outdoors is my favourite thing to do in life. Just being able to look up and see the sky, with the expanse of people underneath it, all sharing the same emotions and experience, it’s just such a raw, beautiful, and reifying thing.
Slam Dunk is a festival I try to attend every year regardless of whether we’re playing it.”
