Slum Dunk's Top Dons
Kerrang!|Issue 1792
Having marked themselves as an arena band in 2019, DON BROCO will be able to add another achievement to their name: SLAM DUNK headliners! And there’s even more on the line-up to get excited about…
Slum Dunk's Top Dons

Slam Dunk Festival have long been promoting the best of British music, pushing our country’s finest bands up to headliner status – and next year is no exception. That’s right, as Bedford mob Don Broco continue their ascent up the rock pile, the band have been given the much-deserved honour of topping the bill at Slam Dunk 2020.

But that’s not all for next year’s Leeds and Hatfield all-dayers; Rob Damiani and co will be joined by a wealth of other amazing names – as we’ve always come to expect from Slam Dunk – from Pennsylvania pop-punk heroes The Wonder Years celebrating 10 years of their brilliant album The Upsides, to the highly-anticipated return of Motion City Soundtrack, following their (temporary) disbanding in 2016. On top of that, Slam Dunk have booked in sets from Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, Knuckle Puck, Bayside, Issues, Hands Like Houses, Ice Nine Kills and State Champs.

As we gear up for the May double-bill, then, headliner Rob talks us through what it means for Don Broco to be making that step up, what to expect from their “fucking sick” set, and that time he nearly broke his ankle at a previous Slam Dunk. Sure…

Congratulations on getting your first-ever festival headlining set, Rob! Where were you guys when you found out that Don Broco would be topping the Slam Dunk Festival 2020 bill?
