Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival has named its 2027 lineup, and it is a big one for anyone raised on guitars. The four-day rock and metal weekend runs from Thursday 13 May to Sunday 16 May 2027 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, with close to 150 acts across five stages.
The festival is produced by Danny Wimmer Presents, the company behind a run of American rock weekends.
Who plays which day
Each night has its own headliner and its own flavour.
- Thursday 13 May: Blink-182 headline, with The Offspring and Turnstile behind them, a pop-punk and hardcore double bill underneath them.
- Friday 14 May: Iron Maiden top the bill, with A Perfect Circle and Alice in Chains in support. It is the heaviest and most veteran night of the four.
- Saturday 15 May: Falling in Reverse headline, alongside A Day To Remember and Beartooth.
- Sunday 16 May: Korn close the festival, with $uicideboy$ and Faith No More on the same day.
Further down the poster you will find The Prodigy, Knocked Loose, The All-American Rejects, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Till Lindemann, Jimmy Eat World, Primus, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Bullet For My Valentine, Ministry and Insane Clown Posse, among many others. The mix of nu-metal, emo, hardcore, industrial and arena rock is the point: this is a festival built for people who do not want to pick one lane.
Tickets
Passes are on the official Sonic Temple passes page. Listed prices include fees:
- GA Stadium four-day: $425, or $180 for a single day (Friday is $195)
- GA Field four-day: $600
- VIP four-day: $930
- Rock Royalty four-day: $1,885
The page shows a "next price level" on its tiers, which suggests prices step up as passes sell, so earlier buyers will likely pay less. Parking and shuttle add-ons are sold separately. We have not seen an on-sale date announced beyond the passes being live.
A bill that has Blink-182 and Iron Maiden on consecutive nights should draw fans from well beyond Ohio.
