Riff, Roar & Rock: Louder Than Life Schedule

America’s loudest rock and metal festival is doing it again this year, with a lineup built to melt faces and stir mosh pits. Expect long sets, legendary reunions, and nonstop action on multiple stages throughout the Highland Festival Grounds.

Main Stage Lineup & Info

The Louder Than Life lineup never holds back. Metal legends and genre-bending icons light up the main stage in 2025, with the return of thrash titans via the long-awaited Slayer concert, the soaring melodies of Evanescence songs, and some moody Deftones tracks anchoring the weekend. Across all four days, the fans will get what they’ve requested: a brutal mix of heavy metal, hard rock, and alt-grunge.

The Headbanger's Haven: Highland Festival Grounds

For the first few years, the festival took place over two days at Champions Park; as it got bigger, it moved to a four-day party at Highland Festival Grounds. While Louder Than Life might be the venue’s most renowned, there are plenty of Highland Festival Grounds events all year. Still, in those late days of September, the park transforms into headbanger heaven with multiple stages, craft food trucks, bourbon bars, and space to rage.

Beyond the Headliners: Louder Than Life's Full Experience

The Louder Than Life Festival is, above all, a Kentucky event, and that only means one thing: bourbon. Around 95% of the world’s bourbon is produced in the Bluegrass State, and there are multiple pairings available during this four-day fest, particularly at the expansive Kroger Big Bourbon Bar. You’ll also find BBQ and sandwiches with local recipes. One integral part of Louder Than Life is staying at the grounds, and many choose the camping (or glamping!) option for a full sensory experience.
