Sonic Temple is a hard rock and metal festival held in Columbus, Ohio, United States at the Historic Crew Stadium. The inaugural festival was held in May 2019, replacing the previously annual Rock on the Range. Sonic Temple was to return in 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which put the festival on hiatus until its return in 2023.
