Denver’s first-ever Unhinged Festival has been canceled as promoters move its headliners to smaller venues to salvage the metal and hard-rock concerts.
Instead of taking place at the National Western Stockyards on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, the outdoor music-and-tattoo event has been replaced with a pair of shows featuring some of the fest’s biggest names.
That includes The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Sanguisugabogg, Khemmis and Suicide Cages at Mission Ballroom on July 26, and Power Trip, Gatecreeper, 200 Stab Wounds, Castle Rat and Nailed Shut MA at the Ogden Theatre July 27.
In an Instagram post, organizers blamed the cancelation on “unforeseen events” and specified that the festival was being scuttled “in its current form.” The “extreme music experience” was originally sold with now-absent headliners Lamb of God, Knocked Loose, In This Moment, The Garden, Body Trip and others.
It was announced in March with perks such as a craft-beer tasting ticket, and in April added a tattoo experience presented by Ink’d and Amp’d. Tickets started at $75 per day or $125 for the weekend, with VIP weekend passes starting at $390 before fees.
Envisioned as a destination festival, Unhinged was also booked up against the final Underground Music Showcase on South Broadway, which will feature dozens of diverse, local and national indie acts playing multiple stages, July 25-27. While the audiences are largely different for each event, they no doubt overlapped as notable local bands such as Khemmis were also scheduled to play Unhinged.
All festival tickets will be automatically refunded at the original point of purchase, said California-based organizer Brew Ha Ha Productions and promoters AEG Presents Rocky Mountains.
Still happening, at least at the moment: Brew Ha Ha’s also-massive Punk in the Park outdoor festival Friday, July 18-Sunday, July 20, at the National Western Stockyards, with headliners Bad Religion, Descendents, Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise, Streetlight Manifesto and more.
