Billy Talent and Cobra Starship join Slam Dunk 2027 - and camping is confirmed
Slam Dunk has added Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Superheaven and more to its 2027 line-up, with camping now confirmed at both festival sites.
The latest announcement also brings Joyce Manor, Forever The Sickest Kids, Amira Elfeky and The Paradox into the mix. Slam Dunk is billing The Paradox’s appearance as an exclusive first chance to see the band in the UK.
They join a bill that already includes Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Sleeping With Sirens and The Used. Whether you’re going for the pop-punk singalongs or the heavier stuff, there’s a growing list of bands competing for your time.
Who else is joining the line-up?
Ska-punk supergroup The Family Business LTD are among the additions, plus Ben Quad, Games We Play, Super Sometimes, Shoreline and Car Underwater.
The Pretty Wild, Novelists, BLACKGOLD, Future Palace and The Haunt are also confirmed, adding more names to investigate before May rolls around.
Together with Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Superheaven, Joyce Manor, The Paradox, Amira Elfeky and Forever The Sickest Kids, that makes 18 acts across the latest announcement.

You can camp at Slam Dunk in 2027
If the journey home is usually the less appealing part of your Slam Dunk day, there’s another option for 2027: camping will be available at both Leeds and Hatfield.
Limited camping tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 23 October 2026, alongside camping parking, campervan pitches and pre-pitched tents.
There are a couple of important details before you start digging out the tent. Camping is strictly 18+, and you’ll need both a festival entry ticket and a camping entry ticket. Pre-pitched tents and campervan pitches require their own bookings too.
The North campsite is around 15 to 20 minutes’ walk from the festival entrances, while South is around 10 minutes away. Both open at 4pm the day before their respective festival and close at midday the day after.
Full booking information is on Slam Dunk’s camping page.
