Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest returns to Denver for its fifth round, tapping the Fillmore Auditorium as home of the world’s loudest, heaviest, most extreme craft beer festival on Friday and Saturday, December 4-5, 2026.

Southern doom supergroup Down make their first Denver appearance in over 12 years to headline Saturday night (December 5), while crossover thrash metal legends Suicidal Tendencies will unleash their first Denver headline performance in over eight years on Friday night (December 4).

The full band and brewery lineup will be revealed in the coming months, but 2-day and 3-day “Early Bird” passes—which include admittance to a special Pre-Fest at Ratio Beerworks (Larimer Street location) on December 3—are on sale now!
