Heavy Metal / Hard Rock festivals for more than 10 years have been being producing throughout the United States with record fans attending the events. I, at UnRatedMagazine.com would say Rock on the Range out of Columbus, OH started it all 10 years ago.  Heavy Metal festivals during spring-summer-fall season create a music experience for the Heavy Metal music community. Still not widely accepted or mentioned on local media. Festivals such as Lollapalooza brought up by newscasters weeks before and after the event. However the newly christened Chicago Open Air this past July was hardly mentioned in local news outlets.  Heavy Metal has been brought to all corners of the United States by Danny Wimmer Presents.

We at UnRated Magazine have covered and sent our journalist such as Dan Locke, Coren McCloud, Raymond Boyd, Rob Grabowski and Adam Bielawski to many of the festivals over the years. In addition, UnRated Magazine, is very proud and honored to be part this  Heavy Metal experience.  Even more to add, many of these festivals have reduced ticket prices to our military and veteran men and women.  Thank you for your service!

Danny Wimmer Presents, the producers of Louder Than Life Festival have this to say:

"We decided to start a festival in Louisville because it is such a special city," says Danny Hayes, CEO of Danny Wimmer Presents. "It has a great Mayor, hospitable local government, welcoming CVB and outstanding city services that in turn make our job really easy. We have a long term plan to grow LOUDER THAN LIFE that includes a significant increase to the economic impact we have created in just the first two years of the festival."

"Louisville is a festival city — and LOUDER THAN LIFE, in just two years, has proven to be a huge success, both in terms of attendance and economic impact to the city. We look forward to many more years of hosting this impressive festival by the impressive Danny Wimmer Presents company," says Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.

"We know from tourism research that attending a festival is one of the primary drivers for weekend visitation to Louisville," says Karen Williams, President & CEO, Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Hosting LOUDER THAN LIFE drives lucrative leisure business to Louisville's hotels, restaurants and attractions."

Louder Than Life Festival tickets went on sale June 1st.
