Disturbed, Misfits, Pantera, and Slipknot to Headline the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival
As we look forward to 2024, one thing remains certain — the summer metal festival scene remains insanely exciting. Case and point is the fact that Ohio’s Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival is not only going to have more than 120 bands on its bill, but it’s also getting a fourth stage to accommodate all of the acts.
Set to take place from May 16 to May 19 at the Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, next year’s Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival will feature some pretty massive bands on its bill. Some of the biggest names that make up today’s announcement include headliners Disturbed, Misfits, Pantera, and Slipknot, as well as insanely popular acts like Sleep Token, Judas Priest, Anthrax, and more.
Looking forward to the event, Chamie McCurry, Chief Marketing Officer at Danny Wimmer Presents, said next year’s event will be exciting because of how much it’s grown over the years.
“Historic Crew Stadium is such a special place to not only DWP, but rock fans in America, as thousands of fans discovered their first rock festival in the U.S. right here in Columbus. We’re beyond thrilled to elevate Sonic Temple by introducing a fourth stage and over 40 additional bands, all without increasing prices. It’s our commitment to giving fans more rock for their buck! Sonic Temple is the ultimate destination where music, art, and food unite to create a community that will be remembered for years to come.”
