Night 2 of String Cheese Incident’s New Year’s run found us in a sea of glow sticks, glitter, and costumes at 1stBank Center. The pageantry and contagious good times nature of the fans radiated through the room. Everywhere we looked was another smiling face – a grinning mob indeed – and that set the mood for a fun evening of music that featured a great selection of classic Cheese favorites like “Little Hands,” “Texas,” and “Rhythm of The Road.”

String Cheese Incident – December 29th – 1stBank Center

Estimated read time 6 min read

With String Cheese Incident back in Colorado for their first New Year’s run since 1996, the air was buzzing on Saturday night. There was talk of special guests, outrageous production, and of course the constant chatter of how the boys would sound. Were they going to be on, or was it going to be a bit rough finding the groove considering they’ve had the better part of six months off from playing live? By the end of night one it was clear they had been gearing up for this run for a long time.

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.
