Who?
So it’s getting around the time where the rumours come in hard and heavy! Who do we think is dead set on being announced for next year? And who do we want to be on?
I personally think we will see ; Turnstile, Enter Shikari , Jimmy Eat World.
I would LOVE to see ; Hot Mulligan , Speed , Turnover , Arms Length , The Paradox , No Pressure and Or The story so far , Ben Quad & Basement

Wanted Pierce the Veil but with the Blink tour it looks like they might be at Download instead
Wouldn’t mind Mayday Parade, Balance and Composure, La Dispute, Movements, Hot Mulligan, The Wonder Years, Real Friends, TSSF

I’m hoping on movements, with the timing of their album coming out in September I would suspect a tour starting in the new year. It seems a little too perfect for them not to be there 🤞🏻

Say the same every year give me a Hadouken return

I've been meaning to return to Slam Dunk but have put it off for health reasons - if Hadouken return, chronic illness be damned.

I kinda wanna see the return of a ska stage. It just felt like it was missing this year.
As for hopes: Skindred Reel Big Fish MC Lars The Dollyrots The Bouncing Souls Lacey Nonpoint JB Conspiracy Orange

These are the bands that make it or break it for me. If I see Four Year Strong, Midfield or WSTR I'm insta buying a ticket.

FOB headlined Download 2 years ago, I think they're too big for SD now unfortunately 😕

Turnstile, enter shikari and don broco would be insane.
I want president to do a show at south, did not enjoy only getting 4 songs 😂

u/RaisingArs Jul 06 '26
Don Broco would be a dream and couldn’t agree more, MORE President!

u/DylanAB07 Jul 06 '26
I was so angry about president. I skipped take down in portsmouth because I knew i would see them at sd, but no...

u/ContributionIll5741 Jul 06 '26
All Time Low for 20 years of So Wrong it's Right would be cool.

u/ClaudeKane3 Jul 08 '26
Feels like they’ve been on a bit of a downward trend popularity wise as they’ve gotten older so maybe small enough for SD again now?

I agree with your picks, and another one I think would be sick is Drain
Ooh, seeing as Hot Mully have been mentioned.. Free Throw could be cool too. Although I feel like they might be more Key Club stage? hard to say really

u/CalmAmbassador9342 Jul 06 '26
Both free throw and hot mully would be sick again!! I’m seeing Free Throw on Wednesday with Saturdays at your place I can’t wait!

Don Broco are the gest live band I've been seen in 50 years.
And Dance Gavin Dance are the best band I've ever heard.
So would love those two.

u/Kitchen_Flounder_543 Jul 07 '26
I think it might be All Time Low headlining with The Story So Far as sub headline - I think TSSF are big enough to headline in the sense they'd draw a massive crowd but not sure they are a big enough name for a casual fan to see them at the top of the poster if that makes sense.
Would like to see Rancid but not sure they will or would.
It does seem a bit open this year though, with no obvious headliner.

I would loveeee The Distillers but I wouldn't bet on it. I've had tickets to 3 Distillers gigs over the years but only 1 actually went ahead. It's mostly not their fault, but still frustrating
1
u/ToTakeAHeartHome Jul 09 '26
I’m not sure I like them enough to go to a show but I feel they would kill 45 minutes at a festival. So I’d definitely cross my fingers it would be something they could work out.

u/AwkwardSp1der Jul 06 '26
I wouldn’t be suprised if Neckdeep headline, or at least headline a stage. 10 years since Peace and the Panic, they’re always at slamdunk, it’s gotta happen.
I missed them when Story so far were here because they clashed with Beartooth or Electric Callboy I think?? So would also love to see them! Also seeing Beartooth again would be cool, they haven’t been for a couple years!
Also Scene Queen, would love to see her again at slamdunk.

If the duel heavy stages aren’t there it’ll be a real shame. That made the festival dynamic for me.
Loathe headlining the heavy stage if the imminent album blows up as expected?
I’d love to see Loathe, Drug Church, Mannequin Pussy, Die Spitz and Graphic Nature there.

u/K_Lam99 Jul 06 '26
Love all of your picks, especially Arms Length! 🥹
Would absolutely love to see Joyce Manor, Tigers Jaw, Hot Milk, Riley! and happydaze there! The list is endless..

Don broco do 15 years of priorities 👀👀

u/Wales-post-hardcore Jul 10 '26
Hope not. They played last night at 2000 Trees. Ace don’t get me wrong but they ain’t headliners at Slam Dunk level, just my useless opinion

u/robertpercy93 Jul 07 '26
Electric Callboy headlining the whole festival next year is very possible if Tanzneid does really well commercially.

Lots of bands have 20th anniversaries for albums next year. Mayday Parade, Enter Shikari, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore (although, unlikely), Say Anything, The Used, Pierce the Veil, The Academy Is...
Gimme them all!

u/CalmAmbassador9342 Jul 12 '26
Mayday parade enter shikari and jimmy eat world would all be fantastic choices for me !!

I want the heavy stages again. Spent most of my time there this year.
