The first acts for Hatfield's Slam Dunk Festival 2025 line-up have been announced.

After another successful year in 2024, the festival's organisers are pushing ahead with plans for 2025, with the UK’s biggest independent rock festival set to take place in Hatfield Park on Saturday, May 24.

There will be a Slam Dunk debut for A Day To Remember, with the band saying: "We’re really excited to get back to the UK, and to play Slam Dunk for the first time."

German group Electric Callboy are also set to perform, alongside long-time festival favourites Neck Deep, and Alkaline Trio, following the success of their new album, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs.

In an exclusive UK reunion, AS IT IS will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album Never Happy, Ever After, while self-dubbed 'brat punk' artist Delilah Bon, alt-rockets Dream State and Kent nu-metallers Graphic Nature will also be on the bill.

Serving up a mega dose of emocore, fans will be treated to a visit to Slam Dunk from Hit The Lights, who since forming in 2003 have cemented themselves firmly as emo favourites.

Hot Mulligan promises a live show brimming with energy, as do Knuckle Puck, who will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their album Copacetic at Slam Dunk.

Less Than Jake, Mouth Culture, California post-hardcore band Movements, New Found Glory, Bristol nu-gazers Split Chain, Stray From The Path, The Ataris, Pennsylvania’s punk-poppers The Starting Line, and punk icons Zebrahead will also be part of the line-up.
