Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents added, "I’m excited to have PROPHETS OF RAGE close out the festival. After seeing them in a small setting in LA, I couldn’t wait to get them added to our festivals this fall. Tom, Tim, and Brad from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, along with Chuck D and DJ Lord from PUBLIC ENEMY and B-Real of CYPRESS HILL, playing the hits that made Rage one of the most iconic bands in history is a special thing to see. Adding that along with Ozzy Osbourne, Incubus, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Rise Against, Stone Sour…how could you miss this lineup? And after an incredible run with GOJIRA this spring I can’t wait for them to come to Louder Than Life as well. I’m beyond excited for this year’s festival. It’s a can’t miss experience.”
