RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, NINE INCH NAILS, SLIPKNOT And KISS To Headline LOUDER THAN LIFE 2022 Festival

When the 2021 edition of Louder Than Life concluded last September, local newspaper LEO Weekly pondered, "How will DWP top this for Louder Than Life 2022? I don't know, but I'm looking forward to seeing you all there again for it."

Says Clown (M. Shawn Crahan) from SLIPKNOT: "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."
