METAL MADNESS w/ KXMG MILLER and DJ CHRISTIAN
2025-09-27 21:00
⚡ METAL MADNESS ⚡
Two DJs. One stage. Zero boundaries.
Bar XIII is throwing down a night where heavy riffs crash into club beats, and breakdowns bleed into guilty-pleasure anthems. Expect brutal mash-ups, unexpected drops, and the kind of chaos that makes your head bang and your feet move whether you want to or not.
Think Maiden licks riding basslines, Slipknot tearing through glossy pop hooks, and dance-floor mayhem built for the unholy alliance of metalheads and party kids.
🔥 Loud. Raw. Relentless.
🍻 Craft brews & cocktails all night.
🎶 Two DJs locked in sonic combat.
📅 Saturday – Doors at 9PM
💵 $7 Cover
