Each year, the Milwaukee MetalFest manages to get some kick ass sets lined up. Whether it’s featuring a newly reunited band for the first time or getting acts to play the entirety of a fan favorite album live, there’s usually something exciting for attendees to experience. This year, we’ve already got Acid Bath in the lineup but organizers obviously weren’t done — they’ve now got the resurgent Iron Reagan on the bill, too.
Having announced their comeback roughly a month ago, this crossover thrash act always used to put on a killer show, so attendees to next year’s Milwaukee MetalFest are in for a treal special experience. Iron Reagan’s addition improves on the festival’s previously announced additions of Acid Bath, Belushi Speed Ball, and Morta Skuld.
Speaking of Iron Reagan’s addition to the bill, festival co-organizer and Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta expressed his excitement adding ’em to the lineup.
“Stars keep aligning for Milwaukee Metal Fest & it’s been hard to contain my excitement! Thrash & hardcore have always had a place at MMF & Iron Reagan back on the attack means the mosh will go HARD in the good land June 5-7th 2026!“
As for Iron Reagan themselves, frontman Tony Foresta said he and his bandmates were excited to play Milwaukee Metalfest.
“Milwaukee Metal Fest is one of the classic metal festivals, and we’re very excited to be hitting the stage with the original lineup for a rare appearance this year. We don’t play often — if you want to catch us live, this is the one to make. Looking forward to playing all these songs again for you all.”
The Milwaukee Metal Fest will once again take place at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom from June 5 to 7, with a pre-party scheduled to take place on June 4. If you’d like to attend next year’s Milwaukee Metalfest, you can ensure your spot at the show bysecuring your tickets online.
