"Louder Than Life has always been about showcasing the future of rock and heavy music while honoring the legends who paved the way," Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents said in a news release. "Bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Sleep Token, Bad Omens, $uicideboy$, Motionless in White, Spiritbox, I Prevail, Slaughter to Prevail, Lorna Shore, Wage War, Dayseeker and Knocked Loose aren't just performing — they're defining the next generation of headliners.
"At the same time, pioneers like Slayer, Deftones, A Perfect Circle and Avenged Sevenfold have set the standard, proving that this music is always evolving. This is where the past, present and future of heavy music collide."
Now in its 11th year, Louder Than Life attracts fans from all 50 states and across the globe. More than 190,000 people were expected to attend Louder Than Life in 2024. The festival should rack up similar numbers this year thanks to its heavyweight headliners, and those bands are only part of the story.

Linkin Park Blocked From A Landmark No. 1 Hit By Two Hard Rock Stars
Linkin Park's 'Let You Fade' debuts at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, losing to ... More Marilyn Manson and Falling In Reverse's 'God Is a Weapon.' MONTERREY, MEXICO - FEBRUARY 5: Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, performs during a concert as part of the 'From Zero World Tour' at Estadio Banorte on February 5, 2025 in Monterrey, Mexico. (Photo by Medios) Linkin Park recently released a deluxe version of its comeback album From Zero, which arrived on May 16. The expanded set, which bolts up the Billboard charts this week thanks to a surge in sales and streams, features three new tracks, though only one had not been previously shared. Following the full-length project dropping as a complete effort, its one brand new cut, 'Let You Fade,' debuts on a number of rankings this week. The tune nearly grants the hard rockers another No. 1, but two other stars keep the band from the top spot. 'Let You Fade' launches at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. According to Luminate, in its first full tracking frame of availability, the track sold just under 1,600 copies. The song is held from the summit by 'God Is a Weapon,' the new collaboration between Falling in Reverse and Marilyn Manson. That tune opens at No. 1 on the same tally and beats Linkin Park's latest by roughly 500 pure purchases. 'Let You Fade' marks Linkin Park's thirty-second top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It would have been the group's landmark fifteenth No. 1, but for now, the band will have to settle for a close second — just shy of the summit. The new track is one of several Linkin Park cuts to narrowly miss leading the tally. As it arrives, it joins fellow fan favorites like 'What I've Done,' 'Lost in the Echo,' 'Wastelands,' and 'More the Victim,' all of which peaked at No. 2 over the years. Manson earns his fourth No. 1 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart as 'God Is a Weapon' debuts. Falling in Reverse, meanwhile, secures its milestone tenth leader. While Linkin Park doesn't add to its count this time, it's worth noting that the Grammy-winning band has already accrued as many No. 1s as both of those chart-toppers combined.

Iconic Metal Singer, 60, Scolds Concert Goers in Frustrated Display
One of the most prominent members of the shock-rock genre has been Rob Zombie. The singer came to prominence with the band White Zombie, before splitting off to pursue a solo career. His first solo album debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200. Zombie went on to release more successful music, and venture into filmmaking, directing House of 1,000 Corpses, and the two Halloween remakes. He has made himself a place in the horror genre, whether that's music or film. Zombie has always branded himself with his distinct voice, which has now been used in some other ways. At a recent headlining appearance at the Boardwalk Rock festival, Zombie got pretty frustrated with his crowd. Watch this. Zombie's frustration around the phones is made pretty clear in the video. His comments sparked a lot of discourse over the issue, with fans taking sides. "I agree, put the phones away and enjoy the moment," one fan commented, while another took the opposite stance, remarking, "Ok, roll those ticket prices back too since we're being all nostalgic."The arguments on either side continued, one fan in favor saying, "Agreed. You can find the performance on YouTube in every which way. Take 1-2 pics. A quick video if you must and just enjoy the show." Another fan showed their displeasure with Zombie's comments, arguing, "Concerts are too expensive. Let the people do what they want. Just play the damn song." People seem to have really strong opinions on either side of this issue. Regardless, Rob Zombie is still selling tickets, and giving it his all on stage. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬
