Pop-punk legends Good Charlotte have been announced as headliners for Slam Dunk Festival 2018.

The band will join fellow headline act Jimmy Eat World alongside the likes of Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Taking Back Sunday, PVRIS, Creep and Real Friends.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes have built a formidable reputation for their live shows; releasing two acclaimed albums and recently selling out a headline show at Brixton Academy in London.

Frank Carter said: " I cannot wait to play Slam Dunk - this has been an incredible couple of years for us, and I can't think of a better way to start our festival season in 2018 than showing up and absolutely dominating at Slam Dunk. Get ready - we'll see you in the Snake pit!"

The Independent exclusively revealed the first wave of acts in November. The UK alternative festival is held across three dates in Hertfordshire, Leeds and Birmingham over the spring bank holiday weekend.

Now in its 12th year, the event is known for drawing some of the biggest names in pop punk, emo and hardcore. Previous artists to perform include Enter Shikari, You Me At Six, Fall Out Boy and All Time Low.

2018's festival will see the South date move from the University of Hertfordshire to Hatfield Park to accommodate growing demand for tickets.

Tickets for Slam Dunk are on sale now.
