The '90s are taking over 🎸
After a total sell-out debut in Atlanta, the Alt-Rock Fest is bringing the ultimate '90s experience to Chattanooga’s Barrelhouse Ballroom. We aren't just putting four bands on a stage; we’re recreating the energy of the era that defined a generation.
We’ve curated a lineup of the Southeast’s premier tributes to deliver three hours of high-octane, non-stop hits. Whether you’re here for the Seattle grunge, the Chicago wall-of-sound, or the slap-bass funk of the Bay Area, we’ve got you covered.
The 2026 Lineup:
Nameless Nameless: The raw power of Nirvana.
Siamese Dream: The lush, heavy layers of The Smashing Pumpkins.
Foozer: A double-header of Foo Fighters anthems and Weezer classics.
The Frizzle Fries: The eccentric, virtuoso energy of Primus.

Barrelhouse Ballroom
We started The Barrelhouse Ballroom with a goal to be one of the top premiere, mid-sized, live music venues in the Southeast. More importantly, we want to bring people together…and we can’t think of a better way to do that than through the trifecta of good food, craft beer and live music. established and up-and-coming artists to showcase their talent.
Don't miss the pit.
