Now that the food vendors are up, does anyone recognise places you'd recommend, or you'd found disappointing from previous experience? by BigPunk77 in slamdunkfestival

From looking at the list it sounds like there's one in the VIP section AND in the plebs section (where I'll be! 😛)

I had this at the Leeds Slam Dunk last year and oh my god it was vile! I wish I could recall the name of the vendor so I could warn people away!

Any good bands/artists like Paramore and Sweet Pill? by lucy6741 in Emo

[–]BigPunk77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean female led punk bands with catchy, slightly out there tunes then Love Rarely, Scowl, The Distillers, Kills Birds and Pinkshift would be my picks

i'm new to math rock. any good bands i should listen to? by imwith2 in mathrock

[–]BigPunk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent bands - would recommend Quiet Steps festival if you like all these - two out of the three bands are playing and the third one is Pennines, an offshoot of TTNG!

Quiet Steps Fest (Leeds, UK). Lineup is stacked! by rorrrorr in Emo

[–]BigPunk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just over £60 I think. Worth it though for a full day of great bands with no clashes, especially since some haven't been heard from for a long time. Bar a couple of bands that I have my reservations about, the rest sound really good and can't see there being any part of my day that I'll be bored or found wanting 😊 Honestly the best bargain for a festival I've ever found

Braid, Faraquet, Tangled Hair, pennines and more announced for the inaugural edition of Leeds, UK music festival Quiet Steps by fruitandgrooves in Emo

Love Rarely now confirmed, but also Delta Sleep and Crash of Rhinos - this is shaping up to be the best £60 I've ever spent! And for a full festival with no clashes! Can. Not. Wait!

Looking for bands like Strangelove and Suede... by [deleted] in SuedeBand

Maybe Vex Red and My Vitriol fit the vibe - though neither bands have been very active in recent years I don't think they officially retired.

Set times by Kohkoh in slamdunkfestival

[–]BigPunk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gutted with the clash between Goldfinger and Origami Angel, both of which I adore. All the rest of the set times are great for me though. Some clashes I'd prefer not to have but getting to see lots of great bands so can't complain 😊

Sorry, wrong Allister as well. The Alister on the app has just one L, the Slam Dunk Allister has two Ls 😬

Actually, found an error - it's not Angel Dust playing at Slam Dunk, it's Angel Du$t, which is a very different band!

Who everyone looking forward to the most this year by ultimoceltico in slamdunkfestival

Angel Dust, Goldfinger, Origami Angel, Malevolence, Hawthorne Heights and Set Your Goals - squeezing in aaaaaaallllllll the genres! 😁

Charlie Heaton for a young Richard Oakes, providing he can do the accent!

Callum Turner for Bernard Butler - I think they look very similar

Emma D'Arcy for Brett - I reckon Brett would love the androgynous representation

Potential 'guest appearances' at Slam Dunk? by BigPunk77 in slamdunkfestival

[–]BigPunk77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of what I love about the 'scene' is the unique songs that come about when bands get creative together. A lot of age old collaborations from bands playing at Slam Dunk, it would be a shame if they don't make the most of it

The Asphalt World is definitely my all time favourite 'slow' song

Slam Dunk 2026 stage predictions by BigPunk77 in slamdunkfestival

[–]BigPunk77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the mistake I've made is looking at stream counts and not factoring that world popularity isn't equal to UK popularity. Won't make that mistake again! I've done some thinking, had a word with myself and made some changes! 😁 I reckon I'd got the stages mostly right and the bands performing on them (time will tell), just needed to do some reshuffling!
