Full Sonic Temple 2026 Lineup Released

For all intents and purposes, Sonic Temple is the shit. They’ve been dropping little breadcrumbs as to who’s booked so far, but now they’ve officially announced the full onslaught of fury they’re unleashing next year, and goodness gracious, you’ll just have to see for yourself.

The Danny Wimmer Presents event boasts over 140 bands on five stages. How in the hell did they manage to make that happen? It’ll be taking place May 14–17 at the Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

The headliners were revealed some weeks ago, and include:

Thursday, May 14: My Chemical Romance, Pierce The Veil, Breaking Benjamin
Friday, May 15: Shinedown, The Offspring, Staind (I still feel like this one is random considering how much of a clown Aaron Lewis has show himself to be)
Saturday, May 16: Bring Me The Horizon, Good Charlotte, Marilyn Manson
Sunday, May 17: Tool, Godsmack, Megadeth

The headliners aren’t the only notable occurrences Sonic Temple has on lock. Some other things to be excited about…:

Megadeth – Farewell tour
Body Count feat. Ice-T – Festival debut
Flyleaf with Lacey Sturm – Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut
