FEATURED SHOWS

October 2 – 3
RÜFÜS DU SOL
w/ Bob Moses and Lastlings
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

You can only listen to three songs for the rest of your life; what are they?

Die Antwoord
House of Zef Tour
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

As the official kickoff to Die Antwoord’s 16-stop House of Zef Tour, the Red Rocks appearance for the South African rap duo promises to be nothing short of sophisticated, fokken larny. It’s coming in twisted, mal in the skull boy. … Ehhh, we’re not too sure what those mean either. But, yeah.

Alison Wonderland
w/ Ekali, Medasin, Wuki
Red Rocks Amphitheatre 

After releasing her debut album Run in 2015, Australia’s electro-queen quickly became a household name — eventually melting the drawers off of tens of thousands at a high-billed, historical Coachella set in 2018. An act so fire Red Rocks gave her two nights, and if last month’s appearance is any indication — September 12 about to get fucked up on a spiritual level!

September 18
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
w/ Meatbodies and more
Aggie Theatre

Sometimes it’s quite literally just the name of an act that causes us to aggressively Google. Like, just look at it and tell someone you’re not mildly interested in what’s going on. Sometimes it’s garbage, other times it’s not — in this case, it’s the latter. The Australian group delivers psychedelic grunge rock with visual twists. Puff, puff, pass, mate!

Zara Larsson
w/ special guests
Gothic Theatre

Not gonna lie, America has finally had its fill of dopey pop artists who only become minority “allies” days before their albums drop. Taylor, Katie, Ariana? So instead of giving them valuable Spotify plays, head over to Zara Larsson’s catalog. She’s a Swedish singer/songwriter doing big thangs with actual vision.

September 27 – 29
Brandi Carlile
w/ Courtney Marie Andrews, Lucie Silvas
Mission Ballroom

It’s called “The GRAMMY Effect” — when an artist blows up after performing at the awards show — and because of the Internet is pretty useless now. Except when singer / songwriter Brandi Carlile did her thing in February belting out “The Joke” with uninterrupted perfection. It gained her millions more fans on top of her millions. She’s a legend.

October 2 – 3
The Pharcyde
w/ special guests
Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox

Don’t mind us, we’re just over here thinking about Mad Dog 20/20, shoplifted Newports and bootleg skate videos on VHS — the whole experience soundtracked by hip-hop mainstays like The Pharcyde. If you’re older than 25 you’ve had at least one of their tracks fill the same void. “Passin’ Me By” will forever live on in our hearts, cold as they are.
