A DIY metal and underground music festival featuring 25+ bands across two stages at the Deviant Libation brewery.
Rottfest26 takes over Deviant Libation on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24. It's a DIY metal and underground music festival put on by Soiled Swamp, and all the proceeds go to the artists and musicians who make it happen. The gathering brings together more than 25 bands across two days and two stages at the brewery on Nebraska Avenue, aimed squarely at fans of loud and heavy music.
Friday is the shorter of the two days, running from 6 PM to 10:30 PM. Saturday is the full-day haul: the indoor stage goes from 2 PM to 11:30 PM, and the outdoor stage runs from 2 PM to 11 PM. With two stages going at once, you can bounce between them throughout the afternoon and evening, and the all-ages policy means you can bring whoever you want. Parking is free, which is a nice plus for a two-day stretch.

Tickets are $30 for the full weekend or $15 for a single day. Doors open at 2 PM on Saturday, so if you're doing both days, you'll have plenty of time to settle in before the music kicks off. The whole thing is at Deviant Libation, 3800 North Nebraska Avenue, Tampa, FL 33603.
