Snoop Dogg, Escape The Fate, Gojira, More To Play Louder Than Life 2021

After COVID-19 canceled last year’s Louder Than Life, the rock festival is planning on making 2021 its best year to date.

The Louisville, Ky., festival announced its lineup for 2021 earlier yesterday, unveiling that this year’s headliners are Korn, Snoop Dogg, Machine Gun Kelly, Cypress Hill, Staind, Jane’s Addiction, Mudvayne, Nine Inch Nails, Judas Priest, Rise Against, and Metallica who are performing two different sets. Others attending include Teenage Wrist, Beartooth, Escape The Fate, Killswitch Engage, The Blue Stones, Gojira, Ice Nine Kills, Spiritbox, The Distillers, Pennywise, The Hu, and From Ashes To New. Check out the full lineup below.

“[Promoter Danny Wimmer Presents] has always considered Louisville home, so to be able to bring America’s Biggest Rock Festival back in 2021 means everything to us,” the festival’s founder Danny Wimmer said in a statement. “After a year filled with challenge after challenge, we worked incredibly hard to curate a lineup worth the wait for our fans. Weather got in the way of Nine Inch Nails in 2018, the pandemic derailed our plans for two big Metallica sets in 2020 – so to have them both back for 2021, along with KORN and the rest of this incredible lineup over four days, that’s the kind of ‘new normal’ that we’re all looking forward to.”

Louder Than Life 2021 will be held at the Highland Festival Grounds at KY Expo Center on September 23 – 26. Tickets are available now.

The festival premiered in 2014 and has boasted a lineup of bands and artists including Stone Temple Pilots, Whiskey Myers, Being As An Ocean, Falling In Reverse, and Guns N’ Roses.
