With the much-loved music festival celebrating an amazing milestone next year, Slam Dunk North at Temple Newsam is hoping to host its most memorable weekender yet.
2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the annual event, which sees some of the best alternative, pop-punk, metal acts and more from around the country, as well as exports from the US and all over the world, gather for one big mosh.
And judging by the lineup for SDN26, those pits are going to be MASSIVE.
Your full and final Slam Dunk 2026 lineup is here.

Revealed in its entirety on Halloween 2025, some of the names on the lineup for next year wouldn’t look out of place on the original Slam Dunk poster back in 2006.
Joining American rock veterans Good Charlotte as an European tour exclusive, other well-known and long-standing names include Sublime, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional and Cancer Bats, just to name a few.
The lattermost outfit also marks one of the heaviest overall rosters in some time, with two new side-by-side stages dedicated to other sub-genres like metalcore, thrash, and other hardcore adjacent artists confirmed last month.
Dubbed ‘The Harvest’, it promises “back-to-back heavy music all day. Hell yeah.
It goes without saying that we had a ‘reet good time as always at Slam Dunk in 2025, and we can’t wait to toast 20 years with them next summer.
If you read our review of the most recent edition of ‘Slammy D’, you’ll know that the cult favourite returned to form following some more challenging years of late.
A much brighter weather forecast certainly played its part, but the festival organisers have also taken steps to improve the layout and accessibility following fan feedback.
Best of all, Slam Dunk is once again offering affordable payment plans for tickets, with the cost able to be spread out over the space of six months.
You can find out more information and grab your tickets HERE, and we’ll see you there with bells on and devil horns raised high come Sunday, 24 May 2026.
