Clown (M. Shawn Crahan) from Slipknot says in a press release, “This is how you do festivals right. Four days of incredible music with so many talented artists. Slipknot is excited to share the stage with Nine Inch Nails, KISS and so many more. Stay safe, and we’ll see you in Louisville.”
Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe adds, “We look forward to returning to Louisville for Louder Than Life 2022 and this time to share the stage with KISS, Slipknot, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, and of course our Richmond, VA buddies in GWAR.”
The festival will see one of the first performances with the original lineup of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their much-anticipated album Unlimited Love is set to release on April 1. It includes previously released singles “Black Summer” and “Poster Child.” They are also set to hit the road on their summer stadium world tour alongside a killer list of acts including HAIM, Thundercat, Beck, A$AP Rocky and St. Vincent in select cities. It will kick off on June 4 in Spain with A$AP Rocky and Thundercat.
