Louder Than Life is back and louder than ever! The 11th edition of the fest is set to take place at its home of Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, KY from September 18-21st. This year also marks the largest lineup in the history of producer Danny Wimmer Presents with over 160 bands performing on six stages. In addition to the previously announced return of metal legends Slayer, other headliners for the four-day destination event include Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, and Bring Me The Horizon! The Lineup will also feature Rob Zombie (in a global exclusive performance of Astro-Creep: 2000 in honor of the album's 25th anniversary), Sleep Token, Bad Omens, Suicide Boys, Lorna Shore, All Time Low, Trivium, Lamb of God, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Knocked Loose, and much more!

"Louder Than Life has always been about showcasing the future of rock and heavy music while honoring the legends who paved the way. Bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Sleep Token, Bab 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," says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. "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."

"We're coming back to Louder Than Life in Louisville. Get ready, f*ckers!" says Slayers's Tom Araya.

"We are very thrilled to finally be returning to America. We have missed our fans dearly and Louder Than Life is one of our favorite festivals to play," adds Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes.
