Denver is about to get louder, inkier, and a whole lot more unhinged. The first annual UNHINGED Festival, taking place Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, at the National Western Stockyards, promises a high-octane collision of hardcore music, world-class tattoo artistry, and an unmatched craft beer tasting experience.

Anchored by headliners Knocked Loose (Saturday) and Lamb of God (Sunday), the two-day destination event will feature more than 25 bands performing across two non-overlapping stages. The stacked lineup includes metal and punk heavyweights such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, In This Moment, Body Count, Power Trip, The Garden, Health, and Converge, ensuring fans won’t have to choose between favorites.

But music is only one piece of the experience.

Presented by Ink’d and Amp’d, the UNHINGED Tattoo Experience brings a self-contained, full-scale tattoo convention to the heart of the festival. Festivalgoers can book tattoo appointments with some of the most legendary names int he industry, including Chris Nuñez (“Miami Ink,” “Ink Master”), Oliver Peck (“Ink Master”), Nikko Hurtado, and dozens more. Over 100 local and regional tattoo artists will also be inking all weekend, offering everything from custom pieces to UNHINGED-themed flash.

“UNHINGED doesn’t end when the music stops — it lives in ink and memory,” said Nuñez.

Appointments can be booked in advance at www.UnhingedFest.com, with limited walk-up slots available during the festival.

For fans 21 and over, UNHINGED also offers a craft beer tasting session each day from noon to 3 p.m. for just $15. The tasting includes unlimited samples from top breweries such as Left Hand Brewing, Dry Dock, BeatBox, Monster Brewing, Ratio Beerworks, and many more. Hard seltzers, ciders, and mead round out the beverage options, making this a must-attend for beer lovers as much as music heads.
