Wisconsin metalheads rejoice! After the successful 2023 return of Milwaukee Metal Fest, the festival—which had previously been dormant since 2007 before it was revived by Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta last year—announced it would be returning to The Rave/Eagles Club in 2024. Late last year, organizers announced the first wave of bookings slated to take part in this spring’s installment.

This week, Milwaukee Metal Fest announced the full lineup of acts that will take part in the festival that’s scheduled to take place May 16-19. Things will kick off with a Thursday night pre-party (which is free for those who purchase three-day passes for the rest of the fest) headed up by Jasta And Friends. Subsequent dates will feature Blind Gaurdian, Mr. Bungle, Kamelot, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste, Slaughter To Prevail, Avatar, and dozens of other accomplished metal and metal-adjacent acts. You can buy single-day or weekend-long tickets HERE, after you check out the full daily lineups below.
