Milwaukee Metal Festival 2026 is gearing up to be a total beast, and they’re already lining up a crazy lineup for next year – which, spoiler alert, will be revealed soon. But here’s the thing: they’re not just resting on their laurels; they’re going all out to top the already epic lineups from the last three years. So epic, in fact, that they’ve had to change the dates to make it all work. Mark your calendars for June 5 – 7, 2026, with the pre-party getting the party started on June 4.
The fest is returning to its spiritual home, The Rave/Eagles Ballroom (because, why fix what ain’t broke?). If you’re itching to get your tickets, super early bird deals and refund info can be found here. And don’t worry, if you’ve already copped Early Bird tickets, they’ll still be valid – phew!
Fest co-organizer Jamey Jasta (you know, the vocalist from HATEBREEED – yep, those guys!) says, “One of our headliners was only available on June 5th and we could not pass up the opportunity to have them at Milwaukee Metal Fest! It just so happened that another headliner also became available on the same weekend. Win win! Its gonna be the best weekend ever!” Yeah, we can’t argue with that, Jamey!
Stay tuned for the first wave of bands – you don’t wanna miss this.
