“America’s biggest rock festival will attract[ed] major acts to Louisville … and help[ed] community businesses profit from its success.” —WLKY-TV
“Last year, Consequence named Louder Than Life its Festival of the Year. The four-day Louisville extravaganza blew us away with a stellar lineup featuring Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, KISS, Slipknot, and dozens more. The 2023 lineup is just as impressive, with headliners Foo Fighters, Tool, Avenged Sevenfold, and Green Day, not to mention Limp Bizkit, Pantera, Turnstile, and more.” —Consequence
“Louder Than Life is many dozens of concerts, not just one. … It’s the biggest rock festival in the country.” —LEO Weekly
