Sonic Temple 2027 announces full lineup featuring Iron Maiden, Blink-182, Korn and Faith No More
The four-day Ohio festival will also feature Falling In Reverse, Alice In Chains, The Prodigy, PRESIDENT, The Warning and nearly 150 artists across its 2027 bill.
Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival has unveiled its full lineup for 2027, bringing Iron Maiden, Blink-182, Korn and Falling In Reverse together at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, from 13 to 16 May.
The four headliners will close out the festival across the weekend, with Blink-182 opening the headline run on Thursday, Iron Maiden taking Friday, Falling In Reverse playing Saturday and Korn bringing proceedings to a close on Sunday.
Beyond the headliners, the announcement covers a broad stretch of rock and metal, with Alice In Chains, Faith No More, A Day To Remember, The Offspring, The Prodigy, Turnstile, Mastodon, Meshuggah and The Pretty Reckless among the names confirmed.
There is also plenty for fans looking beyond the biggest names. PRESIDENT, the masked British act that has been building its following through a deliberately anonymous identity, joins a bill that includes fellow UK acts Bullet For My Valentine, Sylosis, Green Lung and South Arcade. Japanese metalcore outfit HANABIE. will also appear, alongside Mexican-American rock band The Warning and rising alternative act Sleep Theory.
The heavier end of the lineup is represented by Knocked Loose, The Black Dahlia Murder, Fit For An Autopsy, Shadow Of Intent, PeelingFlesh and Spite. Elsewhere, the bill reaches into industrial and electronic territory with Ministry, Carpenter Brut and Sullivan King, while Bowling For Soup, Jimmy Eat World, The All-American Rejects and The Ataris bring a pop-punk presence to the weekend.
The range is part of what makes this year’s announcement worth examining beyond its four headline slots. Rather than restricting the programme to one corner of the genre, Sonic Temple is putting legacy acts, established festival draws and newer names on the same bill, with room for alternative rock, hardcore, metalcore and more extreme sounds.
The festival follows a sold-out 2026 edition that drew more than 184,000 attendees across the weekend. Organised by Danny Wimmer Presents, Sonic Temple has also secured its future at Historic Crew Stadium through at least 2030, following a five-year extension to its partnership with the venue.
Alongside the music, the event incorporates a visual arts programme, including live mural painting and artist-led installations, extending the festival experience beyond its stages.
Sonic Temple 2027 takes place from 13 to 16 May at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. Four-day and single-day passes, alongside VIP packages, are available through the festival’s official website.
