After a drip-feed reveal, the full roster has been revealed for the 2027 edition of the annual ‘Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival‘. Next year’s event will be held at the Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH from May 13th to 16th. In addition to the previously announced headlining set from British heavy metal legends (and soon to be Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers) Iron Maiden, this year’s headliners include nü-metal pioneers Korn, pop-punk stars Blink-182 and divisive multi-platinum alternative metal outfit Falling In Reverse.
Featured deeper in the lineup are a U.S. stop from Faith No More‘s anticipated reunion run, the final Columbus show for industrial metal legends Ministry amid their farewell tour, a 40th anniversary show from Meshuggah, one of two planned 2027 U.S. dates from medieval doom metallers Castle Rat, a comeback show from the recently reactivated Otep, and more.
Chamie McCurry, who serves as General Manager of the festival’s promoter Danny Wimmer Presents, stated of this forthcoming eevent, which will be held May 13th-16th:
“Sonic Temple has become one of those special weekends where the whole rock community comes together. We build each lineup to celebrate the artists who shaped this music, the bands driving it forward, and the next generation that will define it. There’s incredible energy in rock right now, and Sonic Temple reflects that. Columbus has embraced this festival in a way that means a lot to us, and we’re ready to give fans another unforgettable four days.”
