Killswitch Engage, PRESIDENT, Sleep Theory and more will be joining Iron Maiden and My Chem in Louisville, with loads more being announced for Louder Than Life next week.
Big as the task is of one-upping last year's bonkers line-up (Bring Me The Horizon, Slayer, Sleep Token, Bad Omens, Knocked Loose, what felt like a thousand others), Louisville's Louder Than Life festival has already made a very good job of it by landing Iron Maiden and My Chemical Romance for the 2026 edition.
Now, they've started rolling out the rest of the line-up. Ahead of next week's main announcement of what's sure to read like a directory of just every band, they've revealed the first batch of names for the fest, which runs between September 17-20.
Ice Nine Kills, Jimmy Eat World, Bilmuri, Killswitch Engage, Bowling For Soup, Sleep Theory, Sabaton, Get Scared, Sunami and Spite will all be appearing, with a Brit contingent of Loathe and PRESIDENT also announced.
The rest of the bill is being announced on Monday. Tickets are available now.
