THE CABARET CONTINUES. Decadent Cabaret, a weekend-long music event which spotlights regional and Chippewa Valley musicians in punk, rock and experimental genres, will once again return to the Brickhouse Pub & Grub in Eau Claire. This year's lineup features returning favorites and a handful of new bands (Jeremy Boettcher, bassist in Once More, Autumn, pictured).

The Chippewa Valley’s Decadent Cabaret organizers have taken on a new theme and persona for this year’s annual event – one with a distinct, mechanical flair.

The 45th iteration of Decadent Cabaret, to be held from March 5-7 at the Brickhouse Pub & Grub (2233 Birch St., Eau Claire), will transport attendees to a steampunk-like world, where industrial mechanics meet the velvet and lace of rock-and-roll.

In its recently debuted 2026 lineup, Decadent Cabaret offers a refresh to the long-running series while maintaining the core elements which have made the Cabaret a must-attend event in the Valley: boundary-pushing performances and a commitment to high-caliber, live musical acts.

Fan favorites who will return to this year’s event include FM Down, The Jaggernauts, Uncommon Denominator and Once More, Autumn among others. New talent in the mix includes Fawn Haus and Wasp Doctor; both ensembles have previously performed in the Chippewa Valley's underground venue scenes including The Venue and Graham Jams in downtown Eau Claire.
