Back in March, Sound and Fury announced the first wave of bands confirmed for the 2025 edition. Cementing their rank as one of the premiere festivals in the space, organizers scored one of the biggest names in hardcore and adjacent music to top the summer congregation. 

Knocked Loose has been confirmed as one of the headliners for the annual hardcore pilgrimage - underscoring not only the significance of Sound and Fury, but also the band's continued connection with their hardcore roots. Among the additional heavyweight names featured for Sound and Fury 2025, Basement has been confirmed along with LA's own Trash Talk, Mindforce, Cloakroom, Pain of Truth, Kruelty, Whispers and Memphis hip hop icon, Project Pat.

Now, organizers have confirmed a second wave of artists set for July 12th and 13th at Exposition Park in Los Angeles. Leading the latest wave of artists, post-hardcore veterans Poison the Well will perform at Sound and Fury. The band recently announced their comeback via SharpTone Records and delivered their first offering of new music in 15 years with "Trembling Level". Additionally, the band wrapped their well-received 25th anniversary tour of the release of The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation. 

Santa Cruz hardcore punk phenoms Scowl have also been confirmed as part of the second wave of artists at Sound and Fury 2025. The band is currently making the rounds in support of their Dead Oceans debut, Are We All Angels which arrived earlier this spring. 90's metalcore revivalists Balmora have been added to the bill along with GLARE, UK crossover sensation Pest Control and LA's own modern punks, Death Lens - rounding out the latest group of confirmed bands. 

Sound and Fury 2025 takes over Exposition Park on July 12th and 13th. The current line-up can be viewed below. Tickets are now available - HERE
