The anticipation for Sonic Temple 2025 is building, with recent social media updates teasing major artist announcements coming soon. Nothing has been confirmed yet but fans are buzzing with speculation, and fans are jumping in with guesses on which bands might take the stage next year. At the top of our list are two powerhouse names: Linkin Park and Metallica.
Metallica’s Long-Awaited Two-Night Headline
One of the biggest reasons to expect Metallica at Sonic Temple 2025 is their long-standing promise of the “2 nights / 2 different sets” format. This unique experience was initially slated to happen at Sonic Temple before the pandemic threw a wrench in the plans. With the festival yet to feature this long-awaited set, it’s safe to assume that 2025 might finally be the year.
Metallica’s incredible live shows and vast catalog make them a perfect headliner, and their ability to attract huge crowds will undoubtedly ensure Sonic Temple’s success. Fans are itching for the chance to see them deliver two different sets over two nights, showcasing the depth of their legendary discography.
Linkin Park’s Controversial Return
Another major name on the list is Linkin Park. The band has returned to the stage with a new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, replacing the late Chester Bennington. While the decision has sparked controversy among longtime fans, there’s no denying that Linkin Park’s return has generated massive interest.
With their recent reunion tour underway, it would make sense for Linkin Park to headline festivals next year. Their blend of rock, metal, and electronic elements, combined with nostalgic hits from albums like Hybrid Theory and Meteora, positions them as a perfect fit for Sonic Temple’s lineup. Fans are eager to see how the band performs with Armstrong at the helm, making them a major draw for festival-goers.
Other Bands We Expect to See at Sonic Temple 2025
While Linkin Park and Metallica are our top guesses for headliners, there’s a slew of other bands the Facebook page Wolverinekills believe will join the lineup. Sonic Temple is known for bringing together a diverse mix of rock and metal acts, and 2025 is shaping up to be no different. Here’s a list of potential performers based on past lineups and current touring schedules:
Slayer (a possible special appearance)
Alice In Chains

Conclusion
