Lotus – September 8th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

It’s been over a year since Lotus stole the show on a bill with The Glitch Mob at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This time they returned in full force as the headliner at one of the last and most anticipated shows of the legendary venue’s summer concert series. It was a show that mined the depths of the Lotus catalog and revealed a stunning new cover that served as one of many peeks of an outrageously high energy show and poured even more fuel on the fire under this massive dance party.

Over the last decade, Lotus has revolutionized the Livetronica sound while defying stereotypes and energizing venues large and small with their incredible live performances.

Here’s hoping a headlining spot at Red Rocks is in store for this summer. They certainly deserve it.

Estimated read time 4 min read

Deadmau5 threw an outrageous dance party at Red Rocks on Tuesday night and proved that he is a performer in every sense of the word. He mixes his own tracks while also manipulating whatever electronic devices are hidden atop the giant cube on which he stands to add an improvisational angle that keeps the crowd entertained. To call him simply a dance music DJ would be an understatement and an insult.
