Anyone going to Sonic Temple 2026?

BugEquivalents@reddit

this would be entirely too loud for me these days 😂

[-]

crazycatlady331@reddit

Great lineup.

But my days of traveling for concerts are behind me.

[-]

illprobablyeditthis@reddit

Seems like the only concerts I can go to these days are out of town. No one comes south of Orlando anymore.

That being said, this is a festival and my days of going to festivals are well behind me, no matter where they are. Fuck that.

[-]

D-Skel@reddit

We do it more than ever, but it's mostly out of necessity because bands we like don't come though our area like they used to.

[-]

crazycatlady331@reddit

I'm in the Philly metro area. Concerts come through here.

[-]

PNWoutdoors@reddit

My days of going to festivals with this many bands in a day, and over four days, is likely way, way behind me.

Best I have done in recent years is both days of Punk in Drublic, but only once. Other years I could only go one day.

I'm not 21 anymore.

[-]

crazycatlady331@reddit

Same. I discovered some great bands via festivals, but I am not 21 anymore.

And I won't use a portapotty.

[-]

icouldlivewoutbacon@reddit

Not my style of music but damn these are some pretty huge bands for one festival

[-]

icouldlivewoutbacon@reddit

Looks like the T-shirt selection at hot topic

[-]

MerryHeretic@reddit

Holy shit, this is a crazy line up. I had no idea Snot survived the 90’s.

[-]

NoExam2412@reddit

Seriously. This list is unbelievable!

[-]

cbih@reddit

Same with Static X. How do you even have the balls to call yourselves that when Wayne Static is dead?

[-]

I met Wayne a couple times before/after shows. The first time was in Indianapolis around 2001 or 2002 during the Family Values tour. He was shorter than I expected but cooler than I could have hoped. I imagine the hair and boots will have that effect.

I don't have any sincere conversation to share. I liked his music a lot, and in my experience, he was a really cool dude when it came to meeting fans.

[-]

HollyHazard@reddit

I really loved this band and even got the limited signed record after he passed. Songs that they released that were B-sides with help of the dude from Dope. After that though it became a gross money making scheme to live off of his name and still tour with the asshat dressing like Wayne every night. Dude from dope did good but to still be making "NEW" static music, fuck that nonsense.

[-]

cbih@reddit

For real. If the new band is good enough, they should get their own name instead of riding Wayne's coattails. The members of Sublime had the decency to call themselves Sublime with Rome. They should call themselves Static-X-Dope or something.

[-]

Chango-Acadia@reddit

Lead singer didn't. In fact it could be a funny infographic of how many of those bands are not original members now

[-]

jikt@reddit

Holy shit! I only ever heard that band using Real Player. Time to go hunting.

[-]

CoyoteDown@reddit

Some of it did

[-]

edasto42@reddit

Ahh yes, Sonic Temple, the fest where angry dads, ghostly hippies, and spray-tanned hardcore kids unite to drink overpriced beer and lose their voices to 10 year old metalcore and 25 year old nu metal. Have fun!

[-]

Ok_Traffic9196@reddit

I’m looking to sell a 4 day GA field ticket

[-]

CreativeFedora@reddit

So sick that Electric Callboy is on that lineup!

[-]

Whole_Engineer_3757@reddit

Thursday would be my day

[-]

nahmahnahm@reddit

Does that say Dethklok???

[-]

seche314@reddit

My son just saw them a week ago

[-]

EvilBill515@reddit

I said the same thing.... maybe they are back.... in pog form.

[-]

Hoppy_Hessian@reddit

They are currently touring with Amon Amarth. I just saw them last week and it was a hell of a show!

[-]

NoFalseModesty@reddit

And Castle Rat

[-]

Hoppy_Hessian@reddit

I was super surprised by Castle Rat. They were great. I would pay to see them as a headliner.

[-]

athedrummaster@reddit

I’m seeing them in 2 weeks!

[-]

macrocosm93@reddit

I would only go on Sunday for Castle Rat, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Tool.

[-]

echochilde@reddit

We’re doing Aftershock in Sacramento. It looks like a lot of the same lineup. I sprung for the VIP tickets so we could have access to better bathrooms, seating, and shorter food lines, I’m not a young woman anymore. I don’t want to be standing in a 30 min long line in the dust and the heat waiting for the drunk people in front of me to stumble out of the portajohns.

[-]

Badmeestert@reddit

Echo

[-]

echochilde@reddit

Yesss?

[-]

Badmeestert@reddit

Just totally agree with you

[-]

echochilde@reddit

Oh. Ha! Yeah. Every time I remember we’re going, and did the 4-day pass, I wonder if I fully lost my mind and am just gonna run out of steam and enthusiasm by midway the second day.

My husband showed me the lineup and I think we convinced each other into an impulse buy.

[-]

Badmeestert@reddit

I sent the line up to a friend of mine nd he replied:

I can't

But he hadn't look where it's taking place. We are from Europe ::)

But I need a normal hotel and a chair to make it through a four day festival

[-]

echochilde@reddit

That’s why I knew we needed the VIP. They have seating at some of the stages whereas general is just a blanket on a lawn, staring at the backs of someone’s legs and risking getting trampled by some drunk people if you want to sit.

Plus this is the first intense event we’ve done since I got my Type 1 diabetes diagnosis so I need somewhere I won’t get slammed into if I need to inject. Or somewhere to sit if the heat sends me into a low.

This is gonna be interesting.

[-]

Badmeestert@reddit

Ah! Oh well than I wish you the best. Especially with the diabetes and such. Have a blast Greetings from Europe

[-]

CeleryintheButt@reddit

That Sunday lineup is stacked. Is this a yearly festival?

[-]

funkyfritos@reddit

Yes! This is my third year in a row that I'm going.

[-]

MappingChick@reddit

TIL Sevendust is still around.

[-]

foozebox@reddit

Coal Chamber has kept it together for 27 years? Wild.

[-]

Hntrbdnshog@reddit

That’s crazy. I have one of Reina Foss’s bass picks from like 2004 in my concert relics box.

[-]

RevolutionaryEcho460@reddit

There have been some pretty long periods during that time when they have been broken up/inactive.

[-]

Warrior-Cook@reddit

They actually just put out an album this past Friday. On a quick check of it, the vocals are smooth and the guitars are punchy, not bad.

[-]

kingofcrob@reddit

I can't be the only one who sees a 4-day festival and thinks get rid of one if not two of the days.

[-]

crazycatlady331@reddit

The easy solution on the festival end is to sell day passes.

[-]

ezmoney98@reddit

Easily solved by not going lol

[-]

kingofcrob@reddit

LoL... Not setting foot in the states till shit cools down.

[-]

protossaccount@reddit

TIL sublime still performs

[-]

mycatlovesprimus@reddit

They're maga now

[-]

mycatlovesprimus@reddit

Butt Rock. Wow that's a lot of butt rock

[-]

makgeolliandsoju@reddit

I’m literally at a festival right now. 2 days/nights of shows. Kids love the space and ability to roam all over the site. It’s like a soft start to the summer.

Jamband festival, though. I couldn’t last a single show at Sonic Temple.

[-]

Hot_Frosty0807@reddit

The only two bands I like on here enough to have bought a record and learn the words to their songs are Rise Against and The Offspring. I'm afraid I would spend most of my time trying to avoid radio rock bands who I very specifically don't like.

[-]

Brcomic@reddit

In this economy? That Sunday lineup is tempting though. If I didn’t have kids, bills and a chronic illness.

[-]

theluzah@reddit

I have so little money for fun stuff :(

[-]

gerardkimblefarthing@reddit

Tool and Dethklok on the same day? I'm in. But it's Ohio, so I'm out. Too far to commute.

[-]

masttr01@reddit

The set times actually overlap so you'll have to miss half of Tool to see Dethklok...sucks

[-]

quickblur@reddit

Damn that's a great lineup

[-]

MasterDave@reddit

Finally a festival for old people who haven’t listened to anything new in 20 years.

[-]

Original_Ad8991@reddit

Check out Louder than Life in Louisville. Same concept, a lot of the same bands.

[-]

thepatientwaiting@reddit

I'm going to the Sunday show and I'm very excited. The stage Tool is on is a 90s feverdream.

[-]

Original_Ad8991@reddit

It is. I saw them at 2023 and a couple of times at the Yum Center so far, wanted to go this year but as of right now I can’t swing it.

[-]

Murphy1d@reddit

It's not a Sonic Temple without The Cult

[-]

sparkster777@reddit

If I still lived near Cincinnati I would. Now, no chance.

[-]

FoppyRETURNS@reddit

Even My Chemical Romance is a boomer band now. 💀

[-]

APOC_V@reddit

Jesus Christ what a lineup.

[-]

CBLA1785@reddit

Its wild to me the majority of the big bands are from 20 years ago. It seems like no one big is coming out of the music scene anymore in these genres. Sure there are a few but nothing like the 90's and 2000's.

[-]

Routine-Argument485@reddit

Ain’t nobody got time for that. 4 days? Come on.

[-]

cyberdude419@reddit

It’s called Aftershock festival in CA, I would love to see Tool

[-]

not_now_chaos@reddit

That lineup is stacked, holy shit.

[-]

OmahaWarrior@reddit

Cant afford it. Not young anymore either.

[-]

d6punk@reddit

This might be the biggest lineup of bands I have no interest in seeing I've ever seen.

[-]

marbotty@reddit

Haha same

[-]

zoddie3@reddit

Decent lineup, but I'm going to Warped instead. It'll be like the old days! Except tickets cost literally 8 times as much.

Sigh.

My knees already hurt.

[-]

LarryGoldwater@reddit

[-]

zoddie3@reddit

I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

[-]

EvilBill515@reddit

I thought it was awkward that there are two bands playing on the same day called Wind walker, but then I realized they are different and one is Windwaker

[-]

GravyPainter@reddit

4 days is too much. If I had to pick one Id do Sunday for Tool, MegaDeath and Public Enemy

[-]

PNWoutdoors@reddit

Plus ELECTRIC CALLBOY!

[-]

detourne@reddit

And Castle Rat. Sunday would be the only day I'd go.

[-]

CoyoteDown@reddit

I could barely do Ozzfest in my 20s, and that was a single day.

[-]

nouseforaname79@reddit

Aftershock 100%, Sunday only so I can catch that Queens of the Stone Age/STP back to back…as weird as that is.

[-]

Lawndemon@reddit

If it wasn't in Ohio (or anywhere in the U.S.S.A. for that matter) then I would absolutely go. No chance I'm stepping foot anywhere in that authoritarian shithole though.

[-]

BigfootPartyPlanner@reddit

Not this one but we will be going to Aftershock which has many of those same bands but add on Limp Bizkit. We have gone the last 8 years and it is awesome. Gonna go until the wheels fall off.

[-]

flipzyshitzy@reddit

Brainwashing capital of the cuntry.

[-]

KRoadkil@reddit

Friday-Sunday look good

[-]

punkpcpdx@reddit

It's not even day that I can see Kublai Kahn, Everclear, and Shinedown on the same day.

And that's a day I really never asked for. So no, I for one won't be going

[-]

Interesting seeing Marylin Manson though.

[-]

SquirrelEnthusiast@reddit

My whole face when I saw the same sepultura.
