Slamdunk Festival North takes place at Temple Newsam in Leeds on the 24th May 2026. One of the UK’s most iconic festival parks and the former home of Leeds Festival. Since launching in 2006, Slamdunk has grown into the UK’s biggest independent rock festival, drawing a loyal, high-energy audience of young music fans, students and alternative culture enthusiasts. With around 70,000 attendees across the festival and a core audience aged 18–34, the event consistently sells out and offers brands direct access to one of the UK’s most engaged Gen Z festival audiences.
Slamdunk North provides three brand activation spaces in a variety of sizes, perfect for experiential marketing campaigns, product launches, sampling activations and pop-up retail experiences. The festival’s multi-stage layout and strong community atmosphere create high dwell times and constant footfall, enabling brands to engage audiences through immersive installations, sampling stations, interactive experiences and social-led activations.
