Following the news that Metallica is headed to Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival for the first time ever in 2025 for a “No Repeat Weekend” offering two nights and two unique sets, festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents has announced more details for the event, set for May 8, 9, 10 and 11 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
In addition to Metallica, which will headline Friday, May 9, and Sunday, May 11, with previously announced direct support from Rob Zombie on Friday and Alice in Chains on Sunday, new bands have now been announced for the lineup, including Killswitch Engage, Hollywood Undead, Trivium, Citizen Soldier, Alice Cooper, Power Trip, Chevelle, Testament and I Prevail.
More than 100 bands will take the stage across the four-day weekend. More acts, including two additional headliners, are being announced daily. Stay tuned to official Sonic Temple social media channels, the festival website and app for the latest information.
In addition to Metallica’s performances, fans will be able to enjoy a variety of Metallica onsite experiences all weekend long, including the Blackened Whiskey Bar and Blackened Burger Bar, featuring a collaboration between Blackened Whiskey, celebrity chef Chris Santos and Metallica.
A favorite onsite haunt, The Dive Bar, also will be back, along with the Sonic Temple live art program, which will be bigger than ever in 2025. Featured artists from last year’s art program include Terry Urban (who will design a limited-edition hoodie for Sonic Temple 2025), Jay Howell, Monster Steve, Lamour Supreme and AWAL.
