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.
