If you’re like us, the recently announced full lineup of next year’s PULP SUMMER SLAM festival for sure made your mouth drop.

(It’ll also be super interesting to see how that audience (which can get as big as 38,000 people) reacts to such emotionally heavy music like them. But the band fucking rules so we have NO doubt the crowd will quickly be won over!)
The band were kind enough to tell us, “This is going to be our first ever show in Southeast Asia save for a quick trip to Singapore a few years back. Hard to describe the excitement that comes with finally seeing a goal start materializing, to see a new place coming into view. Been trying to make this happen for a good while now.”
