Columbus is about to have a very loud May. Sonic Temple just revealed its full 2026 lineup and the closers are absurd.
My Chemical Romance headlines Thursday, Shinedown takes Friday, Bring Me The Horizon gets Saturday, and Tool closes the whole thing Sunday. Four nights, four completely different flavors of massive.
The undercard is where it gets fun. Friday has The Offspring and Staind. Saturday brings Good Charlotte and Marilyn Manson. Sunday stacks Godsmack and Megadeth, and Megadeth is bringing their farewell tour, so soak that in while you can. Elsewhere on the poster: Pierce The Veil, Breaking Benjamin, Lamb of God, Public Enemy, Anthrax, Halestorm, Motionless in White, Coheed and Cambria, Amon Amarth, Lorna Shore, Sublime, Yellowcard, Simple Plan, Stone Temple Pilots, Electric Callboy, Dragonforce, Coal Chamber, Bush, Alter Bridge, and Body Count with Ice-T doing their festival debut.
More than 140 bands across five stages, the first time the fest has run five, May 14 through 17 at Historic Crew Stadium. This is the fifth Sonic Temple and it is swinging the hardest yet.
