The Sonic Temple 2026 line-up has landed, My Chemical Romance, Tool, Bring Me The Horizon, Shinedown, and 140+ bands will take over Columbus this May.
The gods of distortion have spoken, Sonic Temple 2026 just dropped its full line-up, and it’s a genre-smashing four day event for anyone who worships at the altar of guitars. From My Chemical Romance and Tool to Bring Me The Horizon, Shinedown, and more than 140 other acts, next year’s roster cements Columbus, Ohio’s Historic Crew Stadium as the place to be.
Running May 14–17, 2026, Sonic Temple promises five stages of rock, metal, punk, and every hybrid mutation in between. Beyond the music, the site will pulse with live mural painting, custom installations, and artwork curated to match the craziness and colour of the sound.
Headliners and Highlights
Thursday kicks off with My Chemical Romance, flanked by Pierce The Veil, All Time Low, and Coheed and Cambria, a nostalgia soaked fever dream for every kid who once blacked out their eyeliner. Shinedown leads Friday’s charge with Staind, Halestorm, and The Offspring, keeping things unapologetically loud and defiantly melodic.
Saturday is pure carnage with Bring Me The Horizon, Good Charlotte, Motionless In White, and Architects turning the stadium into a living mosh pit. When the dust settles, Tool will close out Sunday with a sermon in sonic precision, joined by Godsmack, Lamb of God, and Megadeth, a fitting curtain call for a weekend that doesn’t do half measures.
Tickets and Access
Four day passes are already live via the Sonic Temple website, with GA, VIP, and Rock Royalty tiers up for grabs, plus hotel bundles for anyone done with couch surfing. Payment plans are available, because let’s face it, nobody’s wallet fully recovered from last tour season.
Sonic Temple 2026 isn’t just another festival, it’s an absolute must attend event.
