Sonic Temple 2025 is looking massive with two festival debuts from Linkin Park and Metallica, alongside Korn, Bad Omens, Rob Zombie, Incubus, Mastodon, Motionless In White and more.

The four day metal extravaganza takes place at Historic Crew Stadium In Columbus, Ohio, and will see Metallica top the bill on Friday and Sunday, playing two unique sets with no repeats.

“We’re thrilled to finally reveal the full lineup to our fans! Bringing two nights of Metallica to Sonic Temple has been years in the making, and we’re excited to make it a reality,” says festival head honcho Danny Wimmer.

“With over 100 bands, including powerhouses Korn, Bad Omens and Incubus, alongside the highly anticipated return of Linkin Park, and the reunion of Three Days Grace with Adam Gontier, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year. We can’t wait to see everyone at Sonic Temple!”

Three Days Grace’s Adam Gontier adds, “I couldn’t be more excited to not only be back together with the rest of the band, but having Three Days Grace joining all our friends and amazing bands at Sonic Temple as our first festival appearance is going to be a very special night.”
