Louder Than Life is back for another round in 2026, and they have put together one of the most spectacular line-ups you’re ever likely to see.

Headliner-wise, Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit and Tool are right up top, with A Day To Remember, Megadeth, Sublime, Danny Elfman, The Prodigy, Bilmuri, Taking Back Sunday, Coheed And Cambria, Alice Cooper and more supporting them.
Then further down you have Pierce The Veil, Papa Roach, Gojira, Killswitch Engage, The Pretty Reckless, PRESIDENT, Sleep Theory, Halestorm, Underøath, Black Veil Brides, The Used, Ice Nine Kills, BABYMETAL, The Home Team, and SO. MANY. MORE.
There’s also Sleeping With Sirens celebrating 15 years of ‘Let’s Cheers To This’, Jimmy Eat World celebrating 25 years of ‘Bleed American’, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus celebrating 20 years of ‘Don’t You Fake It’, and reunion sets from Get Scared and Circa Survive.
Literally, that is just scratching the surface.
Danny Wimmer had this to say about the announcement, stating, ““Last year, we took over Kentucky Kingdom and broke rock festival records. This year, we’re back to deliver the ultimate rock escape. Louder Than Life is your playground — ride the coasters, catch legendary and emerging bands, enjoy incredible food and bourbon, and dive headfirst into the rock experience you’ve been waiting for. It’s time to let loose and have fun. We’ll see you soon.”
