Louder Than Life is officially underway in Louisville.

America's largest rock and metal festival opens its 12th year today at the Kentucky Exposition Center, with Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Alice Cooper and Pantera's only U.S. show of 2026 all on night one. My Chemical Romance headlines Friday, Limp Bizkit takes Saturday and Tool closes it out Sunday. Four days, seven stages and more than 200 bands, the biggest lineup the festival has ever booked, coming off a record 240,000-plus fans through the gates last year. Swipe for the numbers, the full lineup, today's set times, the map, the headliners, and how big this thing has gotten since two days at Champions Park. Rock Feed is on the ground all weekend.
