Slam Dunk Festival have announced that You Me At Six, Taking Back Sunday, and Lower Than Atlantis are set to perform this summer.

The May festival, which takes place at three sites in Leeds, Hatfield and Wolverhampton, will also host The Wonder Years, Gallows, Band, Comeback Kid and H2O.

You Me At Six have a strong history with Slam Dunk, having performed there regularly, and also released their debut album, Take Off Your Colours, through the festival's own label.

The band's frontman Josh Franceschi said, "We are really excited to be headlining Slam Dunk Festival again. We had a lot of fun last time we played there, and can’t wait to close the festival each night. Leeds in particular will always have a special place in You Me’s hearts as our first ever label and management company was based there. 10 years of the band, so it feels right to be part of the festival!"

Taking Back Sunday's appearance at the festival will be a 2015 UK festival exclusive. Adam Lazzara said of the festival, "We are really excited to be headlining Slam Dunk Festival again. We had a lot of fun last time we played there, and can’t wait to close the festival each night. Leeds in particular will always have a special place in You Me’s hearts as our first ever label and management company was based there. 10 years of the band, so it feels right to be part of the festival!"
