Slam Dunk Festival has added Cobra Starship to its 2027 line-up, bringing the band back to the UK for the first time in 17 years as part of their long-awaited reunion.

The group's last appearance at Slam Dunk came in 2009, shortly before the release of 'Hot Mess', a record that became a scene staple. Their final UK show took place in 2010, before the band split.

Cobra Starship join an already loaded bill featuring Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, The Interrupters, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Wage War, The Amity Affliction, Melrose Avenue, From Ashes to New, Sleeping With Sirens, The Used, The Main, We The Kings, The Academy Is…, Cute is What We Aim For, Knuckle Puck, The Front Bottoms and Love Rarely, among others.

The festival runs across two days, May 29 and 30, at Temple Newsam Park and Hatfield Park respectively. Tickets are on sale now.

The band also features on Made In Chicago: A Rock Sound Tribute, covering Fall Out Boy's 'I Don't Care' — a track whose original video starred Gabe Saporta himself.
