That's right, North, South and the Midlands of England will be hit by the pop punk festival AGAIN in 2016... This time celebrating it's 10th Anniversary, so why not go in style with Las Vegas rock band Panic! At The Disco? That's right, they'll be headlining the touring festival next year.

Other acts on the bill so far include Of Mice & Men, New Found Glory, Four Year Strong, Every Time I Die, Issues, Memphis May Fire and Real Friends.

The Festival will hit 3 UK citys in May, Leeds, Birmingham and Hatfield and is thought to be one of the biggest Slam Dunks of all time with more than 40 acts still to be announced that are to perform across 7 stages in each city including outdoor stages.

Panic! At The Disco's frontman Brendon Urie said about headlining the festival, "“It’s awesome. It’s so cool, and I’m very excited.

“We haven’t actually played it before but we have friends who have, and have heard it’s awesome! And sure, there’s a little bit of pressure, I’m not gonna lie!”

The festival which has seen the likes of Paramore, The All American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday and You Me At Six play will attract 15,000 music fans to the festival.

The festival will take place in Leeds City Centre on May 28th, then moving onto Birmingham on May 29th before finally returning to Hatfield on May 30th.

Tickets are just £42 and can be purchased HERE.
