If you fancy spending your May Bank Holiday thrashing about in a mosh pit with a load of pierced, tattooed, sweaty bods, you’ve probably already got your tickets for this year’s Slam Dunk festival, which returns to The Forum in Hatfield.

Watford’s own hard rockers Lower Than Atlantis and Gallows are both on the bill, alongside bands with names like Neck Deep, Beartooth, Knuckle Puck and Moose Blood – in retrospect, our boys weren’t really trying, were they?

They will be playing all three days of the bank holiday weekend, starting in Leeds City Centre on Saturday, The Forum on Sunday, and Wolverhampton City Centre on the Monday.

  • Slam Dunk Festival (South) takes place at The Forum, Student Union, University of Hertfordshire, College Lane, Hatfield on Sunday, May 24. Details: slamdunkmusic.com
