Unfortunate, but necessary update.

⚠️⚠️ ATTENTION ⚠️⚠️

Sorry for being MIA for a bit. We'll be working on stuff soon!

❗️❗️ UPDATE ❗️❗️

At Dead Roots Festival, we’re building more than a weekend of music—we’re building a legacy. Our sponsorship tiers give you the chance to put your name right in the thick of it, whether you’re a heavy hitter laying the foundation as a Founding Sponsor, or a hometown hero repping the scene as a Local Sponsor. The perks hit hard: from stage shoutouts, social media spotlights, and prime logo placement, to passes, booths, and even collab giveaways. If you’re just looking to show love, the Friends of the Fest and Supporter Tier levels let individuals, bands, and small businesses stake their claim and be part of the movement without breaking the bank. No matter the tier, your support echoes through every stage, flyer, and shoutout—we make sure your name carries the same weight as the music.

Something's growing in the dirt.

A new kind of festival is taking root just outside Nashville.
Three days. One farm. No filler.
Metal. Hardcore. Punk. Alt.
The old guard and the new blood—side by side.

Fall 2026. Ashland City, TN.

⚠️ 2000s METALCORE FANS — THIS ONE’S FOR YOU ⚠️

Remember those nights packed into VFW halls and church basements?
When bands showed up in rusted-out vans, played like their lives depended on it, and left everything on the floor?

We’re building something that taps into that energy—a DIY-style outdoor fest set in a small town just outside Nashville. And we want your input.

🩸 What 2000s-era metalcore bands would YOU love to see on the lineup?

Think:
👊 Underrated favorites
🔁 Long-shot reunions
🔥 Bands that still rip but never got the shine they deserved

Drop your wish list in the comments. Tag the bands. Tag your friends. Let’s bring some of that fire back—together.

Started making some progress on the groundwork for something we're planning for September of 2026! Stay tuned for more info on that soon!

Just putting some feelers out there—planning for a big event next September is officially underway.

We’d love to hear which regional bands from TN, KY, or AL you'd want to see at a medium-sized fest, hosted on a family farm just outside of Nashville.

Tag them in the comments!
