Louder Than Life Festival Held in Louisville

The Louder Than Life festival took place over four days at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Iron Maiden performed a 17-song set on the festival's opening night on Thursday, marking their first concert in the state of Kentucky in over 40 years. Their last concert in Kentucky occurred in May 1982, shortly after the release of the album The Number of the Beast.

Severe weather conditions on Friday afternoon led to the evacuation of fans from the festival site. Due to the adverse weather, set times were shifted, and My Chemical Romance took the stage after 22:00 instead of 21:25. Circa Survive, who reunited earlier this year following an indefinite hiatus started in 2022, performed on Saturday. Prior to the festival, Circa Survive gave three concerts at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

Louder Than Life marked Circa Survive's fourth concert since their reunion and their first festival appearance in nearly five years. During their Saturday performance, Circa Survive played 12 songs, starting with Holding Someone's Hair Back and ending with Get Out. Tool closed the four-day festival with a 10-song set that began with Stinkfist and concluded with Vicarious.
