The newly released Slam Dunk Festival 2025 stage times are here, and they’re packed with an exciting mix of pop-punk, post-hardcore and alternative heavyweights! Here’s a breakdown of what stands out and what festival-goers should be prepared for.
Biggest Highlights:
• A Day to Remember, Main Stage West, 9:00 PM – 10:15 PM. Closing out the night with their high-energy anthems. Expect massive singalongs for “The Downfall of Us All” and “All I Want.”
• Electric Callboy, Main Stage East, 7:45 PM – 8:55 PM. Bringing their wild party vibes before the festival’s final acts—guaranteed to be one of the most fun sets of the weekend.
• Neck Deep, Main Stage West, 9:00 PM – 8:30 PM.
• The Used, and New Found Glory are also stacked on Main Stages east & west , making this one of the strongest pop-punk line-ups in years.
Kerrang! & Monster Stages – Heavy Hitters
• Alkaline Trio, Monster Stage, 5:40 PM – 6:40 PM and Underoath on Kerrang! Stage, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM are must-sees for those craving a mix of classic punk and post-hardcore.
• Stray From the Path , 4:40 PM – 5:30 PM and Landmvrks at 4:00 PM – 4:40 PM will bring the heavy breakdowns early in the day.
• Movements at 5:30 PM – 6:15 PM on the Monster Stage offer a more emotional, post-hardcore touch before the chaos of later bands.
Pop-Punk Nostalgia and Newcomers
• The Starting Line at 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM and The Ataris at 5:50 PM – 6:40 PM will deliver classic throwbacks for old-school fans.
• Save Ferris at 5:50 PM – 6:40 PM adding some ska-punk fun.
• Rising stars The Meffs, 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM and Defects 11:45 AM – 12:15 PM are early sets that might be hidden gems.
While the line up is incredible, fans will have some difficult decisions to make. Underoath vs. Electric Callboy and The Used vs. Alkaline Trio are particularly painful clashes, depending on whether you lean toward post-hardcore or classic punk.
Slam Dunk 2025 has outdone itself with an insane mix of pop-punk legends, metalcore chaos, and emo nostalgia. The set times reveal a well-balanced day that caters to different styles while making sure there’s never a dull moment. The only downside? Too many good bands playing at the same time!
Must-see acts: A Day to Remember, Electric Callboy, Alkaline Trio, Stray From the Path, The Starting Line.
Biggest conflicts: The Used vs. Alkaline Trio, Electric Callboy vs. Underoath.
