“Sonic Temple has become one of those special weekends where the whole rock community comes together,” says Chamie McCurry, General Manager of DWP. “We build each lineup to celebrate the artists who shaped this music, the bands driving it forward, and the next generation that will define it. There’s incredible energy in rock right now, and Sonic Temple reflects that. Columbus has embraced this festival in a way that means a lot to us, and we’re ready to give fans another unforgettable four days.”
In addition to music, art takes over the grounds at Sonic Temple every year. Towering art pillars showcase renowned visual artists, muralists onsite live paint Art Walls, and the Art Mart gives fans a curated marketplace to bring something one-of-a-kind home. Details about 2027 art programming will be announced soon.
