KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, Master, Internal Bleeding & Integrity Added To 2026 ‘Milwaukee Metal Fest’

The 2026 edition of the long-running Milwaukee Metal Fest has expanded its lineup once again, adding Killswitch Engage, Master, Internal Bleeding, and Integrity to next year’s bill. The festival—recently shifted to June 05th–07th at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI—will also host a pre-party on June 04th. With their multi-platinum status and enduring influence on metalcore, Killswitch Engage are set to headline one of the event’s three marquee nights.

Additional previously announced talent includes a headlining return from Acid Bath, who reunited for the first time in decades, as well as an original-lineup reunion performance from Iron Reagan. Festivalgoers will also catch sets from Morta Skuld and Belushi Speedball, with roughly 75 more artists still yet to be revealed.

Festival co-organizer Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed offered his thoughts on the latest wave of additions, especially the inclusion of Killswitch Engage, stating:

“Having just toured the UK with Killswitch Engage and having known them for 30+ years it’s awesome to see them at the height of their powers headlining Wembley arena and now ‘Milwaukee Metal Fest’ as well! This will be the best weekend ever.”
