Slam Dunk Festival Announces New Paris Festival and Announces 2020 Lineup Featuring The Used, Four Year Strong and Grayscale

Slam Dunk Festival has announced plans to extend a branch of the festival to Paris, according to Rock Sound. The UK punk festival has also announced the first 5 bands to be headlining the festival: The Used, Four Year Strong, Chunk! No Captain Chunk!, Landmvrks, and Grayscale.

Based out of Utah, The Used have been active since 2001, and have become one of emo rock’s biggest bands since that time. The band is currently touring as part of a Winter 2020 tour across North America, partly  in order to promote their upcoming album that is set to release in 2020.

Like The Used, Four Year Strong began their career in 2001, and have recorded 6 studio albums since the band’s formation. They are set to release a new album this year, Brain Pain, which will be their first new music in 5 years.

The festival is set to take place on May 30 at La Cigale and La Boule Noire in Paris. Tickets are available for purchase here, and check out the official tour flyer below:

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
