Dead Roots Festival is a three-day outdoor music festival taking place September 25–27, 2026, in Ashland City, Tennessee. Hosted on a rural farm property just outside of Nashville, the festival will feature a mix of metal, hardcore, punk, and alternative music—pulling from both the legacy of the scene and its new wave of talent.

The mission of Dead Roots Festival is to honor the roots of underground music while amplifying the voices of today's rising acts. It’s about keeping the spirit of DIY, grit, and real connection alive—on stage, in the crowd, and across the field. The vision is to create a space that’s raw, loud, and grounded in community—built for the ones who never stopped showing up.

Spearheaded by Solemn Entertainment (an extension of Solemn Apparel), Dead Roots Festival marks the company’s first major live event, setting the tone for a long-term presence in the alternative and heavy music world.
