MONOLITH FESTIVAL returns to Red Rocks Ampitheatre September 13-14. The festival, which debuted in 2007 as the first multi-day, multi-stage festival ever held at Colorado’s outdoor venue, was instantly adopted as an indie fan favorite and warranting a second festival.
MONOLITH hand picks an impressive lineup of indie favorites and blog darlings, which for 2008, includes Denver’s own DeVotchKa and French electro-buzz-band Justice as headliners.
MONOLITH co-producer Josh Baker explains, “It’s a true testament to Colorado’s burgeoning music scene that one of this year’s national breakout acts is also a hometown favorite.” Joining the 2008 headliners is a deep and diverse roster including Silversun Pickups, Band of Horses, TV on the Radio, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Vampire Weekend, Avett Brothers, Neko Case, Del the Funky Homosapien, Mickey Avalon, CSS, Cut Copy, The Kills, Tokyo Police Club, and many, many more. A complete list of currently confirmed acts is included below, with additional artists still to be announced. Visit www.monolithfestival.com for ongoing updates.
MONOLITH fills a niche in Colorado’s burgeoning indie music scene, and even within a seemingly-saturated U.S. festival market. With five stages and premium facility amenities, MONOLITH builds on the natural splendor of Red Rocks and has quickly become a requisite for festival goers and indie hipsters. As Billboard Magazine reviewed, “The outrageously beautiful Red Rocks has been screaming out for an underground/indie-style music festival for many years…Thanks to the tireless work of an elite group of Colorado scenesters, the dream is now a reality.”
Tickets on sale beginning Friday , May 2, 2008 at 10am MST at www.monolithfestival.com and www.ticketmaster.com.
