Louder Than Life not only continues its reputation as America’s Loudest Rock & Metal Festival with the 2025 edition, but the 11th year of the event also marked the biggest festival in the history of DWP, and breaking rock festival records in North America. There were a number of once-in-a-lifetime moments over the course of the four days that added to the specialness of Louder Than Life.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Louder Than Life featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Acathla Clothing, Al Capone, Angel's Envy, Basil Hayden, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft Cult, Bud Light, Cutwater Spirits, Demons Behind Me, Dimebag Hardware, Drew Estate, Eargasm, Elijah Craig, Fxck Cancer, Huber's Starlight Distillery, Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Knob Creek & Rye, KREWE, Kroger, Maker's Mark, Middle West Spirits, Milagro Tequila, Old Forester, Park Community Credit Union, Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Music Experience, The Taylor Foundation, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, White Claw, and Willett Distillery. According to Louisville Tourism, it is estimated that Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life together generated nearly $43 million in local economic impact in 2025. The back-to-back festivals also drove some of the highest hotel demand of the year, with overall occupancy reaching more than 80% citywide. These preliminary estimates highlight the tremendous tourism and economic value of the festivals, which bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Louisville and fuel spending across hotels, restaurants, bourbon attractions, and local businesses.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:06.280
Hey, you lunt here.

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:20.440
That's true for see why Crazy Young. This is pipe

3
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.519
Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c

4
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.960
Y Radio, and I'm here with What's Up.

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.800
I'm Nathan from Aura Weave.

6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.440
Nice here at Louder than Light. Fuck you?

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:29.679
Yeah?

8
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.159
Is this a fucking badass festival or what?

9
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:34.560
One of the coolest things I've ever been a part of?

10
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.280
Dean thank you?

11
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.799
See I love hearing that. So I'm gonna go with

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.880
that and ask you how does Danny Wimmer treat his

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.159
artists that play here?

14
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.280
Dude, this is the ship we come from. I don't

15
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:46.520
know how much you know about our band, but we

16
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.119
come from a completely different world, a completely different genre.

17
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.920
Did you just well too? Don't get me wrong, but

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.520
this it's the next echelon of just hospitality and logistics

19
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.039
and everything's been fucking awesome, man.

20
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.600
And you know what, Speaking of that, that's where I

21
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.599
think Danny is superior in the US because he's literally

22
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.319
gone over to Europe and checked out their festivals. And

23
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.840
that's what Europe does. They just mixed genres. It doesn't matter,

24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.040
like you're here, Slayers here, insane icps here, Yeah, shit

25
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.280
like that, Like that doesn't normally happen in the US. True,

26
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.799
And I'm looking at one of your tattoos. I was

27
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.400
here last week, this one here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

28
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.879
was here last week for Bourban Beyond where Fish played awesome.

29
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.480
So I was like channeling a little grateful Dead from

30
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.280
your tattoo.

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.079
Yeah, man, Yeah, I got some hippie tats for sure.

32
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.760
And I love that because I always say I'm a

33
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.120
metal head, punker hippie.

34
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.560
Our people right there. Man, why do.

35
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.239
You need to be in a box like I come

36
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.799
from the time, Like if you like this, you can't

37
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.000
like this me too much?

38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.400
Bullshit me too, man. I think we're coming out of

39
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.760
that altogether. I love it, most of us, you know

40
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:56.200
what I mean?

41
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.480
I know the gatekeeper shit is stupid.

42
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.719
It's burnt, man, it's burned, dude.

43
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.840
Oh you got the drip. That shit's the bomb.

44
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.319
I'm so excited for this right now. I'm so excited. Yeah.

45
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.159
Is it great to come to a festival and I

46
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.599
have a free open drip bar.

47
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.199
It's fucking insane. Like I said, man, it's awesome. It's

48
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.240
cool that you mentioned Europe too, because we just got

49
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.360
back from a festival in Spain called Roto tom Oh.

50
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.000
Wow, I just did Resurrection Festival.

51
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.280
Okay, say oh dude, Spain rules. Man. Yeah, but this

52
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.960
is like the premiere, like the biggest reggae festival in

53
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.400
the world. And the thing about Europe, like you said, man,

54
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.039
the hospitality is next level and there's not a lot

55
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.159
of American fests that offer that. And so shout out

56
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.479
to Danny because he really is bringing that kind of

57
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:37.159
love over here.

58
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.759
Yeah, and that's why these are the best festivals in

59
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.840
the US and we need to have you on all

60
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.800
the Danny Wimmer fest.

61
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.680
We are so ready to rock, man. That was we

62
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.560
just got off stage. It is probably the funnest set

63
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.199
of my fucking career. I've been doing this for like

64
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.680
fifteen years. It was amazing.

65
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.240
Man, does it blow your mind that it's not even

66
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.039
really necessarily your genre. It's early in the day, insane

67
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.479
and you had that kind of crowd.

68
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.360
They showed us so much love, so many people singing too, man.

69
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.719
And we've learned, because we're a band that crosses genres,

70
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.039
we've learned to not have expectations. We show up to

71
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.639
reggae festivals, we show up to fucking like grimy hippie

72
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.560
festivals like we'd the Deep cut some friends on Kenemene

73
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.719
and shit, come, this is our first rock and metalfest. Wow,

74
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.000
We've decided to just drop any and all expectations and

75
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.400
show up and play the same regardless and let what's

76
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.120
gonna happen happen. And today, man, it was fucking incredible.

77
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.240
I'm playing out to Danny that next year you have

78
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.840
to do a doubleheader. You have to do Bourbon Beyond

79
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:32.879
and Louder than Light.

80
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.120
Ready, dude, let's go.

81
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.120
Right because you would fit into both of them.

82
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.039
They do some jam stuff at Bourbon as well.

83
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.240
Yeah, Fish Fish Blues Traveler.

84
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.680
Okay, the fuck out. I was under the impression it

85
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.240
was mostly country, but so he's bringing.

86
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.319
A little less country. It's more rock, like Collective Soul

87
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.879
was here and Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors and and

88
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.479
then it's a lot of jam band, it's a lot

89
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.159
of blues, it's a lot of blue grass, right, and

90
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.680
then some country too. So it's like such a great mix. Yeah,

91
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.879
so you would fit right in.

92
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.360
We're ready to do we We've become experts at showing

93
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.080
up to places where we don't necessarily belong and having

94
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.159
a great time with everybody.

95
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.560
That's all it counts, right, having a great time you

96
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.199
the artists, and mayn't be attended.

97
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.439
Yeah, man, yeah, absolutely, So.

98
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.680
How would you describe your band without using genre?

99
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:24.120
Right?

100
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.279
How would you describe your band to people?

101
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.680
It's hard to describe us without using a genre. While

102
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.000
we don't fall into just one week like intentionally blend too.

103
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:33.839
So we've dubbed the term reggae core.

104
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.279
I love that. That's a great name. Yeah.

105
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.120
It's fun, man, it's fun. Have to kind of be

106
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.600
in the space and in the niche to understand. Like,

107
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.839
reggae metal has been done before by some greats, you know,

108
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.360
like bands have dabbled into it, and there's been different

109
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.439
combinations of reggae and metal throughout the years. But what

110
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.160
I think we're bringing to the table is like it's

111
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.360
different because we come from our era, right, So we're

112
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.959
blending like a modern reggae style and a modern metal style.

113
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.720
So it's kind of like just given that it's different

114
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:01.800
than what's come before it.

115
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.920
I love it because that's a metal head too. Many

116
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.000
metal bands sound exactly the same nowadays because I say,

117
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.800
they use this like algebraic equation, right, So I love

118
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.240
bands like you that bring other elements in so it's

119
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.680
unique and you stand out and something like I could

120
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.399
say I love that band and I know who that is. Yeah,

121
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:21.279
they're playing.

122
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.079
Well, thanks man, Thanks, And I'll say this too, like

123
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.120
rock and metal listeners are like you would. They often

124
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.560
get a bad rapis tough guy, angry whatever. Some of

125
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.120
the most loving and welcoming fucking fans that we've ever had.

126
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.560
Yeah, that's what people don't realize about metal heads. We're

127
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.160
the nicest people and a whole family and not as

128
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:40.959
scary as.

129
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.160
Of one hundred percent. Man. I can relate, man, because

130
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.000
I actually grew up playing metal. I grew up playing hardcore,

131
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.480
death core, metal core, nice and then I did reggae

132
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.800
for ten years. So I've lived in both lives and

133
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.959
I've always tried to represent that side of metal wherever

134
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.360
I go of Like, it's not all scary, they're not

135
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.240
tough guys, they're not angry. Sure, we're okay with expressing

136
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.560
our emotions as that aheads by being pissed off, where

137
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.120
a lot of people run from that kind of shit,

138
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.160
we lean into it. There's so much positive in it,

139
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.879
like freedom of expression in the music.

140
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.920
You know, So how do people reach out to you

141
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.680

Nice. What else do you want to let the listeners

149
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.439
know that we haven't touched on yet.

150
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.439
I'm feeling some kind of way because we just got

151
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.560
off stage, so I'm feeling overrun by a sense of

152
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.759
gratitude and we've been dreaming about this moment for a

153
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.360
really long time. I just want to say thank you, Danny,

154
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.639
thank you to the fans, and fucking I can't believe

155
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:46.879
we're here.

156
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.519
Dude, Well you guys are badass. I want to see

157
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.279
a lot more Damni Wimmer festivals. And thanks for being

158
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:54.399
on the Adventures of Pipe Man.

159
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.000
Thanks Dean, nice to meet you, bro.

160
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.480
Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Patement on

161
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:12.680
w for CUI Radio. Yah
