The festival announcements continue today with one of fall's biggest festivals, Louder Than Life, revealing its lineup for 2023. Fans can look forward to four days of stellar music rocking Louisville's Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center the weekend of Sept. 21-24 with Foo Fighters, Tool, Avenged Sevenfold and Green Day headlining.
Last year, Louder Than Life enjoyed a record-breaking 170,000 attendance and this year promises to be a full house as well. In addition to the four headliners, you can also look for sets from Weezer, Rancid, Godsmack, Limp Bizkit, the Pantera celebration, Falling in Reverse, Queens of the Stone Age and Turnstile among the top billed acts of the weekend. In total, more than 100 acts will play the five stages set up and fans will be able to partake in some of Louisville's finest spirits and cuisine during their downtime from watching performances.
“The fans spoke and we listened! The Foo Fighters, Green Day, Tool and Avenged Sevenfold were our most fan-requested bands for 2023, so being able to deliver this massive lineup to them is so special,” says Danny Wimmer, Founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “Louder Than Life and Bourbon & Beyond (Sept 14-17) are the eight biggest days in music and it’s all happening in Louisville this September. Can’t wait to see you there!”
“Louder Than Life always delivers a huge weekend and is one of the top economic events annually for Louisville, further cementing the city as a top destination for music festivals. Bourbon City loves welcoming fans for America’s Biggest Rock Festival, inviting them to experience the city’s Southern hospitality, area attractions and of course urban bourbon experiences,” said Cleo Battle, President and CEO of Louisville Tourism. “We’ve seen this weekend continue to grow throughout the longtime partnership with festival organizers Danny Wimmer Presents and look forward to celebrating our ninth year hosting Louder Than Life this September.”
