Primus, Clutch, Crowbar Join 2027 Sonic Temple Lineup As Festival Teases Full Roster

Primus, Clutch and Crowbar added to 2027 Sonic Temple

Organizers of the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival confirmed Primus, Clutch and Crowbar for the 2027 edition on October 14, 2026, adding the trio to a roster being announced in stages. The festival is scheduled to run May 13–16, 2027 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, according to reporting from Rock Sound and Theprp.com that cited the same reveal date.

The three bands sit across distinct rock subgenres: Primus is described as a multi-platinum alternative metal outfit, Clutch as blues rock veterans and Crowbar as sludge metal pillars. Theprp.com framed the additions as part of an ongoing "drip-feed reveal" that is expected to conclude with a full lineup announcement.

Earlier Sonic Temple 2027 additions

A separate October 14, 2026 Rock Sound report, also timestamped to the prior New York news day, listed the first names rolled out for the 2027 festival: A Perfect Circle, Emmure, Showing Teeth, Peeling Flesh, Sleeping With Sirens, Saosin and Escape The Fate. Lambgoat carried that Sleeping With Sirens, Saosin and Escape The Fate trio separately on the same date, describing them as additional confirmed acts for the 2027 Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival.

The two waves reported on October 14, 2026 together constitute the publicly known portion of the 2027 lineup as of that day, though neither source provided a complete bill.

Full lineup expected next week

Rock Sound's October 14, 2026 item stated that the festival organizers had indicated the full lineup would arrive "next week," without specifying a calendar date. Theprp.com similarly described the latest three additions as "the latest in a drip-feed reveal of artists recently launched that will culminate in" the full roster. No further dates, ticket details or headliner status were given for any of the named acts.

Event details and what remains unconfirmed

The festival's May 13–16, 2027 dates and Historic Crew Stadium venue in Columbus, Ohio were stated by Rock Sound; Theprp.com and Lambgoat did not restate those details in the supplied evidence. None of the sources indicated awards tie-ins, despite the shared cluster term "awards," and no headliner, ticket pricing or on-sale information was included in the reporting. Confirmation that a full lineup release has occurred since October 14, 2026 was not present in the evidence ledger.

Follow-up milestone

The next verifiable milestone referenced in the reporting is the promised full 2027 Sonic Temple lineup announcement that organizers said would arrive the week following October 14, 2026.
