The full music lineup for the fourth annual Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival has been announced, including May 8, 9, 10, and 11 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. It also includes a surprising first song from the upcoming Pinnacle of Rock Festival in the US.
The four-day destination event will see more than 100 bands take to the stage to mark their biggest year yet. The festival will feature a massive lineup of rock royalty, including Linkin Park with new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong. They are scheduled to debut at Sonic Temple on Saturday as the headliner at one of the band’s first shows in seven years. As previously announced, Metallica will also appear at Sonic Temple for the first time in 2025 for a “No Repeat Weekend” offering two unique headliner sets over two nights (Friday and Sunday). I’m planning on appearing.
Thursday night’s Sonic Temple will feature headliner KORN, along with BAD OMENS and THREE DAYS GRACE. On Friday, METALLICA will be supported by ROB ZOMBIE and ALICE COOPER, and on Saturday, LINKIN PARK will be supported by INCUBUS and I PREVAIL. METALLICA closes out the weekend with ALICE IN CHAINS and CHEVELLE on Sunday night.
Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents said: “We’re thrilled to finally be able to reveal the full lineup to our fans! Bringing two nights of Metallica to Sonic Temple has been years in the making! But I’m excited for it to become a reality.” “2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year, with over 100 bands participating including powerhouses such as KORN, BAD OMENS, and INCUBUS, the long-awaited return of LINKIN PARK, and the reunion of THREE DAYS GRACE with Adam Gontier. Yes, I can’t wait to meet everyone at Sonic Temple!
KORN said, “We look forward to returning for our friends at DWP in 2025 to headline Sonic Temple and perform in front of all of our amazing fans in Columbus, Ohio.”
