What is Decadence Colorado 2026?

Decadence Colorado 2026, which the festival calls Decadence NYE, takes place on Wednesday, December 30 and Thursday, December 31, 2026 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St, in downtown Denver, Colorado. It is produced by Global Dance, which says it has run events in the Rocky Mountain region since 2003, and the official lineup archive goes back to 2011. Venue doors and will call open at 5pm and the event runs from 6pm to 2am on both nights, so the Thursday show takes you past midnight into 2027. Entry is 18+ with a government-issued ID, and the bars are 21+.

The full 2026 lineup is out: 23 artists, listed alphabetically and by day on the official lineup page. Wednesday, December 30 brings Alesso, DJ Snake, Excision, Zeds Dead, Lane 8, Green Velvet, Seven Lions and more. Thursday, December 31 brings Marshmello, GRiZ, ISOxo, Levity, Crankdat and more. The Silent Disco is back as well, with its lineup still to be announced. The festival says set times and the venue map will be released closer to the event.

According to the official venue page, more than 400,000 square feet of the convention center's exhibit halls will be turned into two arenas. Inside there is food and drink at several spots, multiple full bars for guests 21 and over, free refillable water stations, a coat check in the lobby, ATMs and a designated smoking area (smoking is not allowed inside the building). Entry lines form indoors in the lobby, and there is no re-entry. The festival bills the event as America's biggest electronic New Year's celebration.

Travel & Planning Guide

Decadence Colorado is held at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202, and the entrance is on the corner of 14th Street and Stout Street. The official travel page says the venue is reachable by RTD light rail and bus, and rideshare drop-off points are in front of the venue on 14th Street. It also lists three taxi companies: Yellow Cab Denver, Freedom Cab and Metro Taxi. If you are flying in, the airport the festival lists is Denver International Airport (DEN).

There is no camping, because Decadence is an indoor event in the middle of downtown Denver. The festival says numerous hotels are a short walk or ride from the venue, and its venue page notes that many downtown hotels are within walking distance. Book your room as soon as you have your ticket.

First-timer tip: tickets are delivered to the AXS app, within one week of purchase for fully paid orders and by December 22, 2026 for payment-plan orders, so set up the app before you travel. Will call is inside the lobby near the main entrance and opens at 5pm. There is no re-entry, so eat before you go in and bring everything you need for the night. The event ends at 2am, so agree on a meeting point with your group and plan your ride home before you go in. Never drive after drinking.

What to Know Before You Go

🎒
Pack To The Bag Rules

Only a small clutch or purse (up to 6.5 x 4.5 in) or an empty hydration pack with no more than two main compartments and one small one gets in. Backpacks and large bags, including plush ones, are banned. So are totems, LED gloves and finger lights, hula hoops, balloons, laser pointers, gum that is not in a sealed pack and GoPros. Prescription medication must be in its original labeled container and match your ID. Guests and their bags are subject to inspection at entry, so have yours open.

🧥
Dress For Outside, Check The Coat

You will walk through a Denver December night to reach the venue, but the dancing happens indoors. Wear your outfit under a warm layer and leave the layer at the coat check in the lobby. The official venue page says entry lines form indoors in the lobby area.

💧
Drink Water And Eat First

The festival's own safety page says two nights of dancing is hard exercise, and at Denver's higher altitude you need even more water than usual. Use the free water stations with your empty bottle, and eat a proper meal before the show. Food is sold inside, and the festival suggests eating some fruit before you go in.

👟
Wear Comfortable Shoes

Decadence spreads over two dance arenas, and the safety page tells you to wear your most comfortable shoes or add insoles. Choose shoes you can dance in from 6pm until 2am.

🤝
Look Out For Each Other

If someone looks like they are having a hard time, the festival asks you to get them water and medical attention. Set a meeting point with your group, since there is no re-entry once you are inside. Earplugs are on the allowed list, so bring a pair for two long nights near big sound systems.

🗓️
Watch For Set Times

Set times and the venue map will be released closer to the event, and the Silent Disco lineup is still to be announced. Check the official site and the @DecadenceNYE socials before you plan your nights.
