Having firmly established itself as the UK’s best independent alternative festival for pop-punk and rock revellers, Slam Dunk Festival have announced it will be coming to Europe for the very first time, taking over two venues in Paris, France on Saturday 30th May 2020.
Returning to an inner-city format, Slam Dunk Festival France will take place at La Boule Noir and La Cigale following the highly anticipated alternative celebration in the UK at Leeds Temple Newsam and Hatfield Park on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th May. The two adjacent venues are set to welcome 10 outstanding artists; five of which have been announced today.

No Captain Chunk! and melodic metallers Landmvrks on their home turf. Slam Dunk Festival France will complete the inaugural line-up at a later date.

‘We’re super happy to announce that the Festival is going across the channel into for the first time. We hope this is the start of us building a home in France and we want to grow this into something amazing over the next few years.’
