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—returned to The Rave/Eagles Club with even bigger and better installments in 2024 and 2025. Given the multi-day event’s undeniable growth and success, it was a no-brainer to bring Milwaukee Metal Fest back this spring.

Milwaukee Metal Fest recently announced the full lineup of acts that will take part in the festival that’s scheduled to take place June 4-7. 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 & Friends. Subsequent dates will feature Acid Bath, Killswitch Engage, Ministry, Suicidal Tendencies, Obituary, Napalm Death, Machine Head, The Crosses (playing the music of Die Kreuzen), and dozens of other accomplished metal and metal-adjacent acts.

You can buy single-day, two-day, or weekend-long tickets HERE, after you check out the full daily lineups below.
