Day two of Louder Than Life saw more beautiful weather as fans filled Champions Park for the final day of the festival.
Sunday’s lineup consisted of Greta Van Fleet, Nothing More, Falling in Reverse, The Pretty Reckless, Lacuna Coil, In This Moment, Stone Sour, Rise Against, Incubus, and Prophets of Rage.
Greta Van Fleet wowed the crowd over at the Loudmouth Stage. The four piece Michigan based band has been compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin with the amazing vocals of Josh Kiszka, and guitar riffs of brother Jake Kiszka. When many of the musicians performing during the day are standing side stage to catch the show you know you are witnessing something great in the making. The band is currently out on tour until December 30th when the tour wraps up in Grand Rapids, MI the tour is currently one of the hottest tickets to get with most of the shows being sold out. Fans can find their nearest tour date HERE.

Closing out this year’s festival was the band everyone had checked as a must see, Prophets of Rage. The super group consisting of members of Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill took to the Monster Stage with a vengeance. A 14 song set consisting of a mix of RATM, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, and a mix of new material from Prophets of Rage had the crowd up and off of their feet. Highlights of the set included “Living on the 110,” “Bullet in the Head,” “Kick Out the Jams,” which saw Tim McIlrath & Zach Blair of Rise Against join the band on stage, and the Audioslave cover of “Like a Stone” which was dedicated to the late Chris Cornell.
