After breaking every attendance record in 2025 with over 175,000 attendees over four days, and hosting the largest Rock Event in Ohio history, Danny Wimmer Presents came out swinging for the fences this year, with a HUGE announcement. This upcoming May 14th-17th, 2026, the Historic Crew Stadium will once again play host to what has quickly become the pinnacle of Rock festivals in America. Sonic Temple art & Music Festival returns in 2026 bigger and badder than ever before, with 5 stages (one up from previous years) and headliners that will surely bring the masses.
With over 140 bands on the lineup, previously announced headliners My Chemical Romance and Bring Me The Horizon will be in great company with newly added Shinedown and Tool! Direct support each night from bands like Pierce The Veil, The Offspring, Good Charlotte, and Godsmack, will only add to the intensity. The music will be brilliantly paired with amazing art installations, and interactive pieces that will unfold in real time throughout the weekend. With Contemporary American Painter Terry Urban, and illustrator and cartoonist Jay Howell (the mastermind behind Bob’s Burgers & Sanjay And Craig) the Art portion of the festival is well covered.
All pass types—including Single Day and 4-day GA, GA Plus, VIP and Premium Experiences—are available now at the festival’s website, for as low as $1 down on layaway, with over six months to pay in full, giving fans amply time to get their experience paid in full, and still be able to save up for merch!
Among the monstrous lineup, there are definitely some music highlights and special appearances for Sonic Temple 2026 that include:
