Metalcore five-piece Bury Tomorrow have been announced as special guests at this year’s Slam Dunk Festival.

According to front-man Dani Winter-Bates, it will be ‘circle pits galore‘, as the band bring their Runes tour to an end.

They will be joined by Trash Boat, who were the winners of the Kerrang! Fresh Blood Stage competition.

The announcement comes after the news that Emmure have had to drop out of the event.

Festival organiser Ben Ray said, ‘After Emmure pulled out of the Festival a few weeks ago due to illness I knew we owed it to the audience to get another big heavy band on the bill. ‘

Bury Tomorrow and Trash Boat are set to join You Me At Six, Architects, Taking Back Sunday and While She Sleeps.

Bands will play across seven stages in three locations; Leeds, Wolverhampton and Hatfield on May 23rd, 24th and 25th.

Slam Dunk Festival South in Hatfield has already sold out, so be sure to grab tickets now from slamdunkmusic.com.
