Keith Kaiser gets the party started before they open the gates.
Louder Than Life kicks off Thursday, bringing another wave of music fans to the city.
Louder Than Life is set to take over the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center from Sept. 26-29.
Kiss, Alice Cooper, Shinedown, Slipknot and Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined the massive festival at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
The four day festival draws people from all walks of life -- some in costumes.
The festival rebounded from a canceled 2020 show with an average of 35,000 people per day in September 2021.
Louder Than Life was the third weekend in a row that brought huge crowds of music fans to Louisville.
Bands taking the stage tonight include Stained, A Day to Remember, Slipknot and more. Guns N' Roses and Disturbed will headline Saturday and Sunday.
