There’s been a bit of a lineup shuffle for the 2026 ‘Sonic Temple‘ festival in Columbus OH. As organizers behind the annual event noted today, March 31st, Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Tom Morello, multi-platinum pop punk outfit The Offspring and melodic metalcore band Crown The Empire have newly vacated their planned spots at the fest.
As such, multi-platinum alternative metal outfit Chevelle (Friday), platinum-certified hard rockers Pop Evil (Saturday) and U.S. Army musical outreach band As You Were (Friday) will be filling those vacancies.
