Slam Dunk Festival 2013 is now looking even more epic than before as 13 more bands have been added to the line-up for the festival.

Kids in Glass Houses, Cancer Bats, and Heights are just some of the bands newly confirmed for the festival, and you can check out the full list of bands confirmed for the festival in the poster above.

2013 marks the fourth year that there has been a Slam Dunk South (Hatfield) as well as the now incredibly well established Slam Dunk North (Leeds), and this year even marks the start of a new leg of the tour as a Wolverhampton date is also now included. 2013 is shaping up to potentially be the best Slam Dunk Festival yet.

Having been touring the UK in recent times with the likes of The Skints, Sonic Boom Six, Reel Big Fish and The Selecter, Popes of Chillitown have now announced that their debut album is to be officially released on February 18th 2013.

The band have been picking up some pretty positive press in recent times, and if the album preview is anything to go by then ‘A Word To The Wise‘ should most definitely be a debut album well worth owning.

For a taste of what’s to come, you can check out the ‘A Word To The Wise‘ album preview below, and once you’ve done so you’ll no doubt wish to show your support for the band over at their Pledge Music page.

Slam Dunk Festival’s 10th anniversary looks like it’s going to be a big one, and with a number of top US acts already confirmed including Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, 3OH!3, and Goldfinger; you can be sure that Slam Dunk 2011 is going to be one to remember.

As well as a wide range of talent from across the pond, there’ll also be no shortage of UK talent, with We Are The Ocean, Deaf Havana, and The Skints already amongst those confirmed for the festival.

If it’s pop punk that you’re after, then the news of The Starting Line’s first UK show for over 5 years is sure to excite, as well as the news that Mayday Parade and A Rocket to the Moon will also be over.

The line-up is far from complete at the moment, if you’re anything like me then the confirmed talent will already have you salivating however, and as more acts are confirmed the festival is sure to get all the more awesome.
