This week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled the plans to end England’s COVID-19restrictions this June. However, with the plans now set in motion, Slam Dunk 2021 is no longer able to happen in May.
Now, Slam Dunk organizers have announced that the entire festival has been pushed back to this September.
Finally, this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled the government’s intent to ease out of lockdown restrictions. Currently, England has a four-step plan that could lead to all limits being lifted by June 21. However, this is all dependent on keeping coronavirus cases low and continuing to vaccinate citizens.
Based on the government’s new ploy, Slam Dunk Festival is no longer able to take place on May 29 and 30 this year. So, organizers have decided to move the festival to September. Slam Dunk North is now happening on Saturday, Sept. 4 at Temple Newsam while Slam Dunk South is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 5 at Hatfield Park.
In a new statement, organizers confirm all purchased tickets will remain valid for these new dates. As well, the “vast majority” of the already announced lineup will return for the rescheduled dates. However, it looks like there’s a slight possibility the schedule change may impact a few artists’ abilities to perform at Slam Dunk this year.
“All previously purchased tickets will be valid for the new dates,” the statement says. “Hopefully moving back to September will allow enough leeway should there be any delays to the current roadmap. We are also very happy to say that the vast majority of the lineup will be staying with us for September and a lineup announcement will be coming shortly. Your ticket provider will be in touch soon to confirm the next steps and assist you if you cannot make the new dates.”

North – Saturday 4th September South – Sunday 5th September
We are very pleased to confirm the final list of artists who were due to play SDF20 and who are able to come back to play SDF21 for you. As the vast majority have kept hold of your tickets for next year it seemed only right to try to bring back as many SDF20 artists as we could.. pic.twitter.com/YZS2Ea5yLD
