Slam Dunk festival, which is due to take place on Saturday, 23 May in Hatfield Park, Hatfield and Sunday, 24 May in Temple Newsam, Leeds has released a statement on Instagram regarding allegations against one of its directors.
The statement reads:
“We are aware of allegations published yesterday relating to one of our directors. We take these allegations seriously and understand that they may be distressing and hard to process for our community.
Our Slam Dunk fans, staff, and artists are, as always, our top priority. While he strongly refutes these allegations, the director in question has agreed, in consultation with the board, to step down from Slam Dunk operations while this matter is ongoing.
Slam Dunk remains committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all employees, partners, and customers. Our values and culture are fundamental to how we operate, and we are committed to upholding them.
It would be inappropriate for us to comment further on an ongoing legal matter.
However, we promise transparency and honesty to our Slam Dunk community and will provide updates when it is appropriate to do so.”
No other details have been provided by the festival at this time.
