Louder Than Life is doing things a little differently in 2025.
Whereas most festivals typically drop posters that include full lineups, the annual metal and rock extravaganza is giving fans bread crumbs this year and announcing their four-day, 150-artist bill one-by-one on weekdays via Instagram.
Thus far, a few of the biggest names set to perform at the Highlands Festival Grounds in Lexington, KY from Sept. 18-21 include Slayer, Lamb of God, Acid Bath, A Perfect Circle and Drain.
They’ll be joined by Mudvayne, Black Veil Brides, Static-X, Superheaven and Walls of Jericho among others.
As of now, 20 acts have been named for this year’s fest.
According to Consequence, Slayer’s appearance is a makeup of their cancelled headlining spot at the 2024 Louder Than Life Festival, which did not take place due to Hurricane Helene.
If you’d like to be there, four-day passes are available for this year’s Louder Than Life Festival.
Based on our findings, they start at $313 before fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.

If you follow the festival online, you’ll find they tease quite a few of the upcoming artists though. Just today, they shared “UP NEXT: Tomorrow’s Announcement is an Artist who used to be the lead singer of a popular band and has now gone on to become an even bigger artist by going solo. This Artist has sold out every venue (well in advance) they have headlined as of late or are set to headline in 2025.”
