Enter Shikari To Headline Slam Dunk Festival

(Metal Hammer) Enter Shikari will mark the 10th anniversary of debut album Take To The Skies in headline sets at the expanded Slam Dunk festival series next year.

Rou Reynolds and co will appear across the May bank holiday weekend in Birmingham, Leeds and Hatfield. Slam Dunk celebrated its own 10th anniversary in 2016.

Frontman Reynolds says: "Slam Dunk is a festival that we've been attending from the very start - Slam Dunk South is actually on the campus of my old uni in Hatfield.

"It's grown into one of the most important festivals in alternative music, and it'll be an absolute honour to headline it in 2017." He adds that it "feels totally mental" that Take To The Skies will be 10 years old when they perform.

"The fact that we get to reminisce and relive tracks we recorded so long ago, and that are still held so dear by many, is something I could never have anticipated back then.

"We'll never write another album like it, since Enter Shikari isn't really a band that looks backwards, so to speak." Read more here.
