The 2026 edition of the Milwaukee Metal Fest is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and powerful lineups in the festival’s history. Headlined by crossover icons Suicidal Tendencies, the latest wave of additions also brings doom titans Pallbearer and the serial-killer-obsessed death metal veterans Macabre to The Rave.
The festival, returning to The Rave/Eagles Club from June 4th to 7th, also confirmed a massive double-header for Agalloch. The PNW extreme metal legends will perform two distinct sets: a career-spanning “retrospective” on Friday and a full performance of their landmark third album, Ashes Against the Grain, on Saturday.
“Best Weekend Ever”
Festival co-organizer and Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta shared his excitement regarding the 2026 expansion, which sees the festival growing its footprint once again.
“2026 is shaping up to be our best year yet and we’re just getting started! More bands, more stages, more vendors, more food, more signings, it’s gonna be the best weekend EVER!”
