This fall’s Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Ky. will feature headlining sets from Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance, Limp Bizkit and Tool. The Sept. 17-20 event at the Kentucky Expo Center will feature more than 200 bands playing across seven stages in its 12th edition, which producer Danny Wimmer Presents is its biggest lineup to date.
The party will get started on Sept. 17 when three metal legends — Maiden, Pantera and Megadeth — will top the roster, followed by modern hard rock trio My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil and A Day to Remember on Friday night. Saturday will be topped by Limp Bizkit, playing with Papa Roach and Sublime, with Tool closing out the final night with assists from Gojira and Danny Elfman.
Wimmer said in a statement that Saturday’s lineup also features the deepest roster of all-female fronted bands at any major U.S. rock festival, including Halestorm, In This Moment, Lindsey Stirling, Orianti, Icon for Hire, Kami Kehoe and Diamante. In addition to hosting Pantera’s only U.S. show this year, the festival will be one of Megadeth’s final shows on their farewell tour and be the site of reunion sets from Circa Survive, Get Scared, Blood For Blood, Metal Church, Primer 55, Sent by Ravens and 40 Below Summer.

It’s time to let loose and have fun. We’ll see you soon.” In addition to the music, pass-holders will get free access to amusement rides inside Kentucky Kingdom, which will be open exclusively for festival attendees.
