Dueling Music Festival Drama, Noise NIMBYs, and How Much for Gorillaz Tix?
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
A new music festival, Blucifer’s First Rodeo is coming to South Broadway this July! But the fest’s dates overlap with the Underground Music Showcase, the area’s former big summer fest, which is now set to take place in RiNo. Are these two concert events competition for each other or just a sign of an evolving music scene? Denver Post arts reporter John Wenzel and comedian Miriam Moreno join host Bree Davies to dig into the dueling festival drama, plus talk through the fight over decibel levels at an outdoor amphitheater and debate the right price for a concert ticket. Grab tickets for Good Night Denver, Miriam’s live late night show at Dude IDK Studios next Friday! For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
