Ninety Percent 90s presents:

90% Nu Metal

A tribute to (mostly) the nu metal hits from the 90s and 2000s. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Sevendust, and more.

BIO

Born out of the same crew that brings you Denver's favorite 90s nostalgia experience, Ninety Percent 90s, this is the louder, heavier, chain-wallet-wearing alter ego you didn't know you needed.

The late 90s and early 2000s produced a sound that couldn't be contained — heavy metal with hip-hop in its blood, angst in its chest, and a 48-inch JNCO leg dragging on the floor. That sound was nu metal. And 90% Nu Metal brings it back full force.

This Denver-based tribute act covers the heavyweights, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Sevendust, and more, with the raw intensity the genre demands. Down-tuned guitars. Relentless energy. Every anthem from the era that made suburban kids feel understood and made everyone else feel slightly threatened.

The Setlist That Shaped a Generation

  • Korn — The originators. Down-tuned, dark, and undeniably heavy

  • Limp Bizkit — Rap-metal swagger at its most unapologetic

  • Deftones — Where heavy meets haunting

  • Sevendust — Groove-driven hard rock with serious punch

  • Slipknot — Chaotic, aggressive, and impossible to ignore

  • Linkin Park — The anthems everyone knows every word to

  • Disturbed — Thunderous riffs and arena-sized hooks

  • Papa Roach — Raw emotion, loud guitars, zero apologies

  • Static-X — Industrial-edged, machine-tight, relentless

  • Drowning Pool — Built for crowd frenzy from the first note

  • ...and more
