Slapshock will NOT be playing at this year’s PULP SUMMERSLAM XI : RESURRECTION because of conflict of sponsors. RedHorse Beer which is a staunch supporter of Pulp Summer Slam since its inception is not this year’s main presentor and Slapshock as an endorser of Redhorse cannot play in an event of a competing brand. We would love to play for Summer Slam as always but this time we are caught in some legality issues. Hope the fans understand.
