Tool and Shinedown to headline Sonic Temple 2026 alongside My Chem and BMTH

Tool and Shinedown have just been added to next year’s Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.

The two new headliners will join the previously-announced My Chemical Romance (who are there on Thursday, May 14) and Bring Me The Horizon (who top the bill on Saturday, May 16). Shinedown will be sandwiched in between the two on the Friday, May 15, while Tool will close things out on the Sunday, May 17.

“Barry, Zach, Eric and I have waited for this opportunity to be a headliner at Sonic Temple for a very long time,” says Shinedown frontman Brent Smith. “We are going to go all out for this performance. We know the fans have very high expectations. So with that being said, we are going to give all of Ohio everything we’ve got! Thank you to Danny Wimmer for this incredible opportunity! Let’s go, Shinedown nation!”

Across the whole weekend, fans will also be able to catch everyone from Pierce The Veil to Good Charlotte, The Offspring, Megadeth, Halestorm, Motionless In White, Lamb Of God, Rise Against, Simple Plan, Coheed And Cambria, Public Enemy, Lorna Shore, Architects, Dayseeker and so many more.
