Tom Morello and The Offspring will not be performing at Sonic Temple 2026, according to the festival’s announcement. Chevelle and Pop Evil will take their places on the lineup. Sonic Temple 2026 is set for May 14-17 in Columbus, Ohio. The festival will be headlined by My Chemical Romance, Shinedown, Bring Me the Horizon, and Tool.
Morello recently decided to postpone his solo tour to join Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band for the U.S. tour, which kicked off on Tuesday in Minneapolis. During the shows, Morello has been playing alongside Springsteen, performing hits like “Badlands,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” and a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain.”
Fans of both Morello and The Offspring will have to wait for their next chance to see them live, but the addition of Chevelle and Pop Evil promises an exciting lineup for Sonic Temple.
