Las Vegas is about to get brutally un‑alive. Rising from the ashes of the now-legendary Las Vegas Deathfest, Vegas Un‑Alive Fest is kicking off its inaugural edition on March 20–21, 2026, and it promises a full-scale assault on the senses for extreme metal fans. Helmed by JJ Jackson of Moonshine Bandits and Dave Oshann of Trip to the Morgue, this festival is shaping up to be the city’s newest hub for chaos, carnage, and headbanging debauchery.
Set at the iconic Divebar (4110 S. Maryland Pkwy), the two-day festival will feature two stages and 25 bands from across the globe. Beyond the music, festival-goers can expect custom cars and bikes, tattoo artists, freakshow acts, firebreathers, and all the food and drink a metalhead could want.
Headliners That Hit Hard
Decrepit Birth will dominate the Death or Glory Stage on Saturday, March 21st. The Santa Cruz veterans are bringing their signature technical death metal and cosmic brutality on their “The Uncreation of Civilization West Coast Tour.” Expect hyper-technical riffing and jaw-dropping musicianship that live audiences have come to worship.
Sharing the Death or Glory Stage spotlight, The Convalescence bring their symphonic deathcore firepower. Celebrating a decade of venom with their "Celebrating 10 Years of Poison Word Tour," the band recently dropped a cinematic new video for “Bloodletter,” featuring a guest appearance by Ricky Myers of Suffocation .
Over on the Divebar Stage , Casket Robbery takes Saturday night by the throat. With industrialized death metal riffs and occult-tinged melodies, this Wisconsin act has been tearing up North America alongside Cannibal Corpse , Psycroptic , and Suffocation , and their sophomore album Rituals of Death cements their position as masters of horror-laden extreme metal.
Pessimist , Baltimore death-metal pioneers, co-headline the Divebar Stage with their first full-length in over 20 years, Keys to the Underworld . Fans can expect old-school thrash influences wrapped in a relentless, dark atmosphere that is both nostalgic and brutally fresh.
Friday night kicks off with Brazilian/Las Vegas crossover legends Claustrofobia , opening the Divebar Stage with a career-spanning set. Since forming in 1994, they’ve shared stages with Iron Maiden , Slayer , and Anthrax , leaving a trail of international fans in their wake.
