The full lineup has been revealed for the 2027 Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, with Iron Maiden, Korn, Falling In Reverse, Blink-182 and Faith No More among the major names booked for next year’s four-day event.
Organized by Danny Wimmer Presents, the festival will return to Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, from May 13–16, 2027. Iron Maiden, who are also set to enter the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, will headline Friday, while Blink-182 will top Thursday’s bill. Falling In Reverse are scheduled to close out Saturday, with Korn taking the Sunday headline slot.
The lineup also features several notable appearances and milestones. Faith No More are scheduled to perform as part of their anticipated reunion run, while industrial metal pioneers Ministry will make what is billed as their final Columbus appearance amid their farewell tour. Meshuggah will celebrate their 40th anniversary, medieval doom metal outfit Castle Rat will play one of their two planned U.S. shows for 2027, and Otep are booked for a comeback performance following the band’s recent reactivation.
Chamie McCurry, General Manager of Danny Wimmer Presents, shared the following statement about the upcoming festival:
“Sonic Temple has become one of those special weekends where the whole rock community comes together. We build each lineup to celebrate the artists who shaped this music, the bands driving it forward, and the next generation that will define it. There’s incredible energy in rock right now, and Sonic Temple reflects that. Columbus has embraced this festival in a way that means a lot to us, and we’re ready to give fans another unforgettable four days.”
The 2027 bill spans heavy metal, metalcore, alternative rock, pop-punk, industrial, hip-hop and electronic music, with acts including Turnstile, Knocked Loose, Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle, Bullet For My Valentine, The Prodigy, Till Lindemann, Poppy, $uicideboy$ and Primus also scheduled to perform.
