Acid Bath & Blood Incantation to Headline Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Denver 2025

Decibel Magazine’s renowned Metal & Beer Fest is making a major move for its 2025 edition in Denver. After three years at Summit, the festival is upgrading to the Fillmore Auditorium for two days of extreme metal and craft beer on December 5-6, 2025 .

Headlining this year’s fest are two iconic bands representing different generations of heavy music. Acid Bath , the legendary sludge/doom pioneers, will make their first Denver appearance in over 30 years with a highly anticipated headlining set on Saturday, December 6 . Meanwhile, Blood Incantation , Denver’s own death metal space voyagers, will deliver an epic headlining performance on Friday, December 5 , marking their first hometown show in more than two years.

The full lineup of bands and breweries will be revealed in the coming months, but fans can secure their spots early. 2-day and 3-day passes go on sale on Friday, March 21 at 10 AM MT and include access to a special Pre-Fest event at Ratio Beerworks (Larimer Street location) on December 4 .
