The experience
What's special
Sonic Temple is Danny Wimmer Presents' four-day hard-rock and metal festival at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, one of the largest rock gatherings in the United States. Spanning five stages and well over 100 acts a year, it mixes legacy metal and hard rock with a strong emo, metalcore and post-hardcore streak, and has grown into a destination event that draws fans from across the country. It runs as a non-camping, stadium-grounds festival with off-site park-and-shuttle options
What people love
The breadth and depth of the lineup is the recurring draw: even attendees lukewarm on a given year's headliners point to the sheer number of strong bands across the undercard as what makes the weekend worth it. The multi-generational rock-and-metal community and the scale of the production are consistent highlights
Last time around (2026)
The 2026 edition (May 14-17) set a record as the largest crowd in Sonic Temple history, headlined by Tool, My Chemical Romance, Shinedown and Megadeth across 140-plus acts, with an emo- and metalcore-heavy program. Weather swung from oddly cold Thursday and Friday nights to blazing heat later in the weekend. traffic on exit remained a known pain point that organizers addressed with off-site park-and-shuttle

No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
slow relative to rideshare, and doesn't reach the stadium directly; a further local connection or rideshare leg is needed from downtown
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Not an airport connector, but the one confirmed OFFICIAL festival shuttle: round-trip service from Columbus State Community College to the venue, all 4 festival days. Documented here since it's the practical airport-to-venue chain for fly-in attendees without a car combine with a rideshare/taxi leg from CMH to Columbus State first
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
CMH (John Glenn Columbus Intl) is the primary airport. Uber/Lyft pick up on the arrivals level (level 1) across the Arrivals drive at the ground-transportation area; taxis operate on the same level. Historic Crew Stadium is ~10 miles from CMH
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.

Columbus State Community College Park & Shuttle is the official remote-lot alternative for attendees who'd rather not drive directly to/park at the stadium footprint
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at CMH
A rental suits fly-in attendees not booking RV camping or a Jampack hotel+shuttle package on-site parking is a paid 4-day pass and CMH has standard on-airport rental counters, but note that once checked into RV camping the RV itself cannot leave the campground, so a car hire is really for hotel-based attendees, not campers
