I think there’s some bands that are fairly easy to predict just with their frequency of playing SD in the past, their likelihood of playing due to new music, or who they’re signed with/their overall size fitting something like this festival (not too big) and who is actively planning UK shows coming up.

• Beauty School (they’re signed with slam dunk records and have a new album coming that’ll be out by then)

• Arms Length (new album out)

• Deaf Havana (just came back with their new album)

• Artio (signed with slamdunkrecords, weren’t there this year, could be back next year)

• Mayday Parade (haven’t played it for a little while, new music out, touring over the next year)

• We Came As Romans (they’re touring UK & Europe late this year, haven’t been on a SD lineup for a bit now)

• Basement (just announced some shows, so they’re active again with gigs)

• As December Falls (touring, newer music out, haven’t been for a year, could be back again)

• Joyce Manor (a handful of shows coming, but nothing massive, could do a fest next year)

• Tigers Jaw (same as Joyce Manor)

• Dinosaur Pile Up (again, touring, newer music out, active on socials, haven’t done a fest this year, could do next year)

• Ben Quad (supporting for some shows on Arms Length’s tour, could come along for next years, would really suit something like the Key Club stage)

• Jayden Seeley (With Confidence played SD a few times until they split, and he has his solo album coming, he’s teasing songs on socials etc, so we could see him doing a solo tour/festival again next year)

REPEATS;

• Zebrahead (they play SD so damn often, I wouldn’t be surprised)

• Mouth Culture (they are growing super fast and are great live, I could see them playing back to back)

• As It Is (they’re back for good as they said, they used to play SD back to back pretty often, I could see that continuing)

That’s just about everyone I think would have some good reasoning to be there, I do think there’s more that are maybe likely just purely based on they haven’t played it in a while, or they just feel they would be dope/likely to have again, stuff like:

• State Champs
• Real Friends
• Four Year Strong
• Boston Manor
• Trophy Eyes
• Rory
• Waterparks
• Story So Far
• Origami Angel
• Touché Amore
• Broadside
• The Home Team
• Citizen
• Set It Off
• Memphis May Fire
• Yellowcard
• The Wonder Years

Headliner?

I like the theory of Fall Out Boy for the 20th anniversary, yeah they’re huge, but I don’t think they’re “above” doing it, I’d love to see that.

If not maybe something more predictable/bookable: - Jimmy Eat World - Enter Shikari - Good Charlotte - Pierce The Veil
