Fresh from last week’s knockout first announcement of Metallica, Rob Zombie and Alice In Chains, Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival have unveiled a bunch more bands.
Now heading to Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio between May 8 – 11, 2025 are Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Alice Cooper, Hollywood Undead, I Prevail, Testament, Citizen Soldier, Power Trip and Chevelle, with plenty more still to be announced.
On September 19, Danny Wimmer promised that: “This is just the start; we’ll have more than 100 bands playing across four stages for four days…
“We’re so excited about this line-up that we’ll be announcing artists daily for the next month, so there’s a lot for fans to look forward to.”
In our review of Killswitch’s mega festival headline slot at last year’s Bloodstock in the UK, we said that it was “exactly the kind of celebration these dudes deserve”, with “ear-wrecking volume and impressive production” not to mention plenty of bangers – “from bludgeoning opener My Curse to an epic Rose Of Sharyn”. So get excited, basically!
