Decibel Magazine has announced the first major details for this year’s Decibel Metal & Beer Fest: Denver, revealing DOWN and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES as the event’s headline acts.
The annual celebration of heavy music and craft beer will return to the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO on December 4 and 5, 2026. SUICIDAL TENDENCIES will close out the first night, while New Orleans sludge supergroup DOWN will headline the second evening.
While the full lineup has yet to be unveiled, the announcement of these two iconic acts sets the tone for what is expected to be another stacked edition of one of the country’s premier metal festival experiences.
Ticket presales begin this week, with multiple early access options available through various partners before the general on-sale.
Festivalgoers will once again be able to choose between two-day “Just Metal” passes, focused solely on the live performances, or “Metal & Beer” tickets, which include access to beer tastings from a curated lineup of breweries. Due to alcohol service, attendees must be 21 or older.
Additional artist announcements and further event details are expected soon.
