Slam Dunk is returning to Leeds for its 16th year next summer and the organisers have just announced the third wave of acts. The huge independent rock festival takes place across two days at Hatfield Park and then Temple Newsam in Leeds and has a capacity of around 60,000.

Enter Shikari and punk rock royalty The Offspring have already been announced to headline the Slam Dunk festival taking place in May next year, alongside around 22 other acts. But now another wave of huge acts has been released who’ll be performing over the May bank holiday weekend in 2023.

Celtic punk legends, Flogging Molly will be storming their way to make their Slam Dunk Festival debut later next year. With 25 successful years and seven studio albums under their belts, the seven-piece, punk/rock outfit promise to bring along a back catalogue of crowd-pleasing favourites such as ‘Drunken Lullabies’, ‘Devil’s Dance Floor’ and ‘If I Ever Leave This World Alive’ to Leeds and Hatfield next summer.

Renowned for their theatrical and energetic performances, Gogol Bordello lead the way for one of the performances not to be missed at next year’s Slam Dunk Festival. With members hailing from around the world including Ukraine and Ethiopia, the self-proclaimed band of immigrants will bless festival goers with their experimental “gypsy punk” sound next May.

And with a trio of albums in their arsenal which propelled them to global success, The Hunna have firmly cemented themselves as one of the most exciting rock bands around and today have been announced to play at Slam Dunk Festival next year.
