Not only is Decadence easily one of the best New Years Eve parties in Denver, but it is also one of the city’s largest electronic festivals of the year. Unlike HARD, which takes place at Red Rocks in the blistering summer sun, you can get cozy inside the Colorado Convention Center and party the night away to some of the scene’s biggest acts. The massive two-day lineup might seem daunting, especially since there are two stages and a silent disco to navigate this year, so if you’re having some trouble trying to figure out who to catch, you’re in luck!
We’ve narrowed down five of our favorite acts performing at Decadence this month so you don’t miss out on some of the best performances of the weekend. You can get to know ALL of the artists HERE and check out our favorites now below.

Big Gigantic
Earlier this year, Colorado natives Big Gigantic put on a one of a kind show at Red Rocks for their annual two night Rowdytown celebration, complete with the biggest stage that Red Rocks has ever seen! Big Gigantic are known for pulling out all of the stops, especially for hometown shows, and with their final performance of 2017 in their home state on New Years Eve, things are sure to get crazy. If that’s not enough to sell you, then maybe their live peformance, including a full brass section and multiple guest vocalists will.
Justice (DJ set)
French duo Justice are nothing short of legends in the electronic music scene. Their crunching deconstruction of techno, pop, R&B, electro, funk and metal makes them one of a kind and their live performances are something you have to see. Although they’re only playing a DJ set at Decadence, they’re still sure to put on one of the best, most complex performances of the night.
Odesza
Odesza also played Red Rocks earlier this year in support of their newest album, A Moment Apart and are currently in the midst of their year long world tour. If you caught their otherworldly show when they were in town earlier this year, then you’ll certainly understand why you need to see them at Decadence. Their atmospheric sound and stunning visuals will put you in the perfect mood to ring in the new year. Don’t believe us? Check out photos from their show at Red Rocks HERE.
Porter Robinson (DJ set)
Porter Robinson‘s epic headlining show with Madeon at The Fillmore was the perfect way to close out the year in 2016, so it’s only fitting that he can be found playing at Decadence this year! Like Odesza, Porter Robinson’s live performance will serve as the perfect soundtrack to Decadence’s City Beyond Tomorrow theme.
Borgore
If you’re looking to have a good time – and I mean a really good time – then Borgore is your man, no doubt about it. The dubstep producer and vocalist Asaf Borger, aka Borgore, has created a brash, aggressive form of metal-influenced EDM that he refers to as “gorestep,” and if you somehow aren’t familiar with his insanely dirty brand of music by now, then it’s time you experience it firsthand. Why not at Decadence of all places?
