Suicidal Tendencies at Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest 2026

Suicidal Tendencies headline the Fillmore Auditorium on Friday, December 4, as part of the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest. It's their first Denver headline show in more than eight years, and they'll be playing the staples you know, like "Institutionalized" and "You Can't Bring Me Down."

They aren't the only name on the bill that night. Pig Destroyer is doing a special Prowler in the Yard set, and Cro-Mags are playing The Age of Quarrel in full. Black Breath and Haggus round out the Friday lineup. The festival continues Saturday, December 5, with southern doom supergroup Down headlining, making their first Denver appearance in over 12 years. They'll mix new songs with classics like "Bury Me In Smoke" and "Stone the Crow." Saturday's undercard features Kylesa, Wayfarer, Intronaut, and In the Company of Serpents. Denver's own Wayfarer is on the Saturday bill, and Black Breath is back from the dead for the Friday night run.

This is the fifth time the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest has come to Denver, and the format is the same as always: extreme craft beer paired with heavy metal, drawing in metalheads and beer enthusiasts together. The festival is presented by BLKIIBLK Records and 3 Floyds Brewing, and they'll be pouring from a lineup of American craft breweries and meaderies. The Fillmore Auditorium is a 30,000-square-foot room that holds roughly 3,600 to 3,900 people.

If you want to get in early, there's a pre-fest on Thursday, December 3, at Ratio Beerworks. The main event runs Friday and Saturday, December 4-5, at the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 N Clarkson St, Denver, CO 80218.
