The organizers behind Milwaukee Metal Fest have officially locked in the full lineup for the festival’s 2026 return, unveiling a final wave of additions led by Machine Head, along with newly confirmed appearances from Creeping Death and Heavy//Hitter.
Set to take place June 05–07, 2026, the three-day metal gathering will once again take over The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, WI. This year’s bill also features Napalm Death performing two separate sets across the weekend, adding another highlight to an already stacked roster.
Across three days, the festival will showcase a wide spectrum of heavy music, from legacy acts and rare sets to underground favorites and rising names. Highlights include Killswitch Engage, Ministry, Suicidal Tendencies, Integrity, All Shall Perish (celebrating 20 years of ‘The Price Of Existence’), and a special Agalloch retrospective performance, alongside a full-album set of ‘Ashes Against The Grain’.
