The 2025 Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival lineup is finally here in full, and it’s going to be a wrecker. Following news that Metallica would be headlining two of the four nights at Columbus, Ohio’s Historic Crew Stadium next May, fest organizers have now confirmed that the other marquee artists are going to be Korn and the reunited Linkin Park.

The rest of the festival grounds will feature performances from Motionless in White, Poppy, Killswitch Engage, Jinjer, Ministry, HEALTH, Seven Hours After Violet and more.
As previously reported, May 9th will find Metallica taking on the first of their two “No Repeat Weekend” performances, with Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Testament and more supporting the thrashers on the main stage. Elsewhere, fans will be treated to sets from veterans including Mastodon, reunited sludge greats Acid Bath, Suicidal Tendencies, Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Whitechapel, Converge and more.
May 10th finds Linkin Park taking the top spot on the bill, though the main stage also features Incubus, I Prevail, Trivium and more. The rest of the day features Crossfade’s previously announced first performance in 13 years, as well as slots from Bullet for My Valentine, Jimmy Eat World, Of Mice and Men, Grandson, Underoath, Silverstein, the Devil Wears Prada and more.
Finally, the closing Sunday night (May 11th) brings ‘Tallica back to the main stage alongside Alice in Chains, Chevelle, Quicksand, Cavalera, and Corrosion of Conformity. Spread out across the festival grounds will be performances from Ice Nine Kills, Hollywood Undead, Arch Enemy, Gwar, and a hardcore-heavy side stage featuring Power Trip, Sunami, Speed, Jesus Piece and more.
