The Sonic Temple Festival just announced their 2026 lineup and once again their team has delivered a sprawling bill with household name headliners, oddities, throwback favorites, up-and-comers and much, much more.
Just a few of the biggest names to look out for at the Historic Crew Stadium on May 14-17 include emo vets The Offspring and post-hardcore prog heroes Coheed and Cambria.
They’ll be joined by Bring Me The Horizon, Dance Gavin Dance and many, many more.
In total, over 140 (!) huge acts are scheduled to take the stage over the long weekend.
