Festival co-organizer and HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta comments: "Milwaukee Metal Fest is back for year #3 and we're looking forward to an even bigger and better event in 2025!

"DOWN rarely play the Midwest, so their set is going to be something special. EXODUS are celebrating their 40th anniversary and were our #1 most requested band for the festival. We can't live without Bay Area Thrash. THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN haven't played Milwaukee in almost 15 years, let alone doing 'Calculating Infinity', plus 3 INCHES OF BLOOD are back but only doing select appearances, so the fact they chose to come play MMF is incredible and we can't wait to have our buddies from the great white north. Throw in new hxc metal phenomenons like SPEED and FUGITIVE, who represent the best of the new breed of heavy bands, plus MMF alumni like TROUBLE, EXHORDER and DECEASED, and we're guaranteed to have a rager!"

Milwaukee Metal Fest returned to prominence in 2023 under the watchful eye of Jasta and Sound Talent Group's Tim Borror, as well as the team at The Rave / Eagles Club, where so many of the original festivals took place.
