Festival Highlights: Slam Dunk Festival 2024

So Slam Dunk Festival this weekend certainly brought a mixture of weather. With the South having lovely sun, and the North being a complete mudslide due to the downpour. But that certainly didn’t stop the fun festival vibes - with the final goodbye for You Me At Six and the wonderful return of the likes of The Blackout and Mallory Knox along with a huge main stage set from As December Falls - this year’s festival was one for the memory pile. Check out all our highlights from both North and South.
