The 2026 ‘Milwaukee Metal Fest‘ lineup has expanded once again, this time with the addition of two sets from psychedelic black metal band Nachtmystium (performing their 2006 release “Instinct: Decay” in full and a best of set) and metalcore outfit Emmure. The latter will be playing the pre-party for the fest, which will be held June 04th. That pre-party will see festival organizer Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed, etc.) holding a special Jasta And Friends set alongside Obituary‘s Trevor Peres and Sanguisugabogg‘s Devin Swank. Bonginator, Gasket and Torn Open will open.
In related news, musician/comedian, etc. Richard Christy was recently announced as the guest of honor for this year’s festival. Updated daily lineups for the event, which will take place June 05th to 07th at the Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, WI, run as follows.
