Louder Than Life

Plus: Bright Eyes, Life is Beautiful, and more tours, festivals and events affected by COVID-19.

Metallica have also been added back to a Danny Wimmer Presents festival they previously had to drop off of, Louder Than Life.

”As part of my continuing effort to get and stay healthy, I have critical recovery events on those weekends that cannot be moved,” Metallica's James Hetfield says. ”I apologize to all of our fans who have bought tickets for these festivals.”

Metallica is headlining two nights each of Epicenter, Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock in 2020, and playing different setlists across all ten sets.

Metallica will headline two nights each of Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Welcome To Rockville, Epicenter, and Sonic Temple, with a different setlist at each of the ten sets.

Aftershock has Tool, Korn, Slipknot, blink-182, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Lamb of God, and more; and Louder Than Life has Guns N' Roses, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, GWAR, Melvins, and more...

”This was just a fight with someone who fucked with us,” Ninja writes. ”Not a hate crime.”

The lineup also includes Rob Zombie, Melvins, Dropkick Murphys, Suicidal Tendencies, Andrew WK, Graveyard, Anti-Flag, Redd Kross, Die Antwoord, and more.

It's GNR's first-announced date of the year, and the first act revealed for this year's Louder Than Life, which moves to a new location after last year's event was cancelled due to flooding.

Louder Than Life was set to go down this weekend in Louisville with Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Ice Cube, Primus, Billy Idol, Action Bronson, Glassjaw, Turnstile, and more.
