Metallica – fresh off the announcement of their M72 North American tour this morning – has been announced as the headliner for Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival 2025 alongside Rob Zombie and Alice In Chains.
The Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival will take place between May 8 and 11 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH. Metallica will headline both the May 9 and 11 dates, while Rob Zombie is slated to play May 9 and Alice In Chains on May 11.
"Every year we ask our fans who they want to see at Sonic Temple, and the answer this year was clear — Metallica! We've been trying to get Metallica to Sonic Temple for the last five years, and are ready to bring two nights of Metallica to Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio next May," said Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents – the organizers of the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.
"This is just the start; we'll have more than 100 bands playing across 4 stages for 4 days, including Rob Zombie and Alice In Chains in direct support for Metallica. We're so excited about this lineup that we'll be announcing artists daily for the next month, so there's a lot for fans to look forward to."
Additional artists will be announced day by day on Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival's social media. Tickets and additional information is available here.
