Among the notable headliners, You Me At Six, fresh from the release of their eighth studio album, “Truth Decay,” which reached an impressive #4 on the UK album charts, are gearing up for a showstopping performance.
The All American Rejects, legends of the scene with a string of era-defining hits, will be crossing the pond for their first headline tour in nearly a decade. Grammy-nominated Detroit rockers I Prevail will be concluding their extensive World Tour with an electrifying set at Slam Dunk Festival 2024.
Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six expressed his enthusiasm for the festival, saying, “Looking forward to returning to Slam Dunk this year to headline the festival. Slam Dunk has given You Me At Six so much over our career, and we’ve got a lot of special memories from performing there over the years. The lineup is stacked with great artists, so it will be an elite one.”
The lineup also boasts Boys Like Girls, who recently delighted fans with their first album in over a decade, “SUNDAY AT FOXWOODS,” punk-rock legends We The Kings, and Head Automatica, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Decadence.”

After a sold-out success in 2023, the 2024 lineup promises to be even more monumental. Tickets are expected to be in high demand, so fans are encouraged to secure their spots promptly to avoid missing out on this unmissable event.
