A Reddit user in r/bonnaroo just dropped what looks like the Louder Than Life 2026 lineup poster (Sept. 17–20, Louisville, KY), and the thread is stuffed with pure chaos and hype.
Quick context: Louder Than Life is the heavy-music festival that runs in Louisville’s Kentucky Expo Center. The leaked poster shows a stacked four-day bill with legacy metal names and modern heavy hitters — which is why fans in the thread are losing it.
Why people are talking
– The jaw-dropper: TOOL, Mastodon and Gojira all appear on the same day — an absolute dream for metalheads who like their headliners heavy and technical.
– Legacy and crossover acts: Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance and Limp Bizkit are also on the poster, along with Sublime and other big names spanning metal, punk and alt rock.
– Reunion and surprises: Circa Survive’s reunion got a few users hyped, and there are mentions of Daniels (Danny Elfman) and surprise appearances like Jeff Hardy that have fans speculating.
Selected Reddit reactions
– “Same ownership as Bourbon & Beyond (Danny Wimmer Presents). Same criticism applies.” — Pineappl44
– “B2B GWAR and Mac Sabbath sounds surreal” — astrowizardd
– “Where are my Sunami moshers at? I’m tryna link and make new friends!!!?!” — tonalunbalance

– “Danny Elfman makes more sense for Bonnaroo than he does here, pretty bummed that we missed out on that one…” — Nebuliss1
Takeaway
If this poster is legit, Louder Than Life 2026 is stacking legacy metal and modern heavy acts in a way that will pull fans from across scenes. There’s also the usual DWP/Danny Wimmer chatter — some fans are excited, others are ready to critique the promoter’s history — so expect debate alongside the hype.
