Sonic Temple 2025 Full Lineup Revealed – Over 100 Bands

For the last few weeks, Danny Wimmer Presents have been doing the piecemeal rollout of bands performing at the 2025 edition of the Sonic Temple Festival, but the full reveal of the lineup is now upon us.

It had previously been revealed that Metallica would headline two of the four nights for Sonic Temple 2025, taking place May 8-11 at Columbus, Ohio’s Historic Crew Stadium. The band will continue their “No Repeat Weekend” touring theme with different setlists for the Friday and Sunday bills. Meanwhile, we now have Korn and Linkin Park as the Thursday and Saturday headliners per the new announcement.

The music weekend will also feature performances from Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie, Three Days Grace, Bad Omens, Alice Cooper, Incubus, I Prevail, Chevelle, Motionless in White, Ice Nine Kills, Mastodon, Jimmy Eat World, Acid Bath, Hollywood Undead, Bullet for My Valentine and many more.

“We’re thrilled to finally reveal the full lineup to our fans! Bringing two nights of Metallica to Sonic Temple has been years in the making, and we’re excited to make it a reality,” says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “With over 100 bands, including powerhouses Korn, Bad Omens and Incubus, alongside the highly anticipated return of Linkin Park, and the reunion of Three Days Grace with Adam Gontier, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year. We can’t wait to see everyone at Sonic Temple!”

Korn said, “We’re looking forward to coming back and headlining Sonic Temple in 2025 for our friends at DWP, and performing for all of our incredible fans in Columbus, Ohio.”

Three Days Grace’s Adam Gontier said, “I couldn’t be more excited to not only be back together with the rest of the band, but having Three Days Grace joining all our friends and amazing bands at Sonic Temple as our first festival appearance is going to be a very special night.”
