    Cool to see this is coming to Dublin now, using all 3 rooms in the academy.
    Slam Dunk are very pleased to announce that they are extending their critically acclaimed festival even further this year and will host a show in The Academy, Dublin on Wednesday 29th May. Slam Dunk Ireland will take over The Academy, with live shows in the main room and Academy 2, and Lockdown DJs playing in the Green Room. Tickets from €18 will go on sale this Friday at 9am from Ticketmaster.ie and Ticketmaster outlets.

    Currently the lineup will see the following acts play across two rooms in the venue:

    Four Year Strong
    The Wonder Years
    Bury Tomorrow
    Yashin
    Man Overboard
    Fireworks
    Wounds
    Red Enemy
    Jody Has A Hitlist

    I'm heading over next weekend to london for it, allister/spunge/king prawn/ STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO(final tour)/MC LArs

    not one of them got the jump over the Slam Dunk Ireland, tho it seems to be more of a pop punk emo buzz on the one over here. disappointing, especially considering how long ago the 'ska is dead' tour hit these shores with planet smashers/mustard plug/bomb the music industry

    and Big D cancelling recently, and MC Lars skipping Dublin dates. I've been to more bloody gigs in london the last year than dublin - ska is definitively dead over here

    Decided against bothering with this. Crowd would be a nightmare, plus CB in Cork. Hope it comes back next year though.

    Yeah just going to Cancer bats instead of this, would only have gone for four year strong and red enemy. Would have watched bury tomorrow as well I guess.
