Tom Morello and The Offspring have dropped off the lineup for Sonic Temple 2026, the festival announced.

Chevelle and Pop Evil have joined the bill as replacements.

Sonic Temple 2026 takes place May 14-17 in Columbus, Ohio. It'll be headlined by My Chemical Romance, Shinedown, Bring Me the Horizon and Tool.

Morello previously announced he was postponing a run of solo dates so that he could join Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band for The Boss' U.S. tour, which launched Tuesday in Minneapolis. The Rage Against the Machine guitarist joined Springsteen for performances of songs including "Badlands," "Born in the U.S.A." and a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain."
