Another week and another run of amazing shows on deck here in Denver—here are some of the highlights:
Outside Festival was such a good time last year, they’re doing it all again for 2025! Taking place in the Civic Center Park downtown on 5/31 and 6/1, Outside Festival sees the likes of Neal Francis, Trampled By Turtles, Lord Huron and Sylvan Esso putting on some incredible sets alongside fantastic programming covering the length and breadth of the outdoor world and the premiere of some truly incredible movies too.
Denver’s own Sunsquabi is celebrating the release of their newest and eponymous album all weekend long at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. On 5/30, they’ll have Luzcid and 3420 starting the night off, and 5/31 will see Junowhat?! and Drew Birch joining the headliners for the evening. Sunsquabi always puts on a banger show, so get out and catch a night of this proper party.
Belgian dubstep duo Ganja White Night have returned to Denver for their fourth annual Wobble Rocks event on 5/31, promising to melt the faces in every seat that the Amphitheater has to offer. Bringing the heat along with Ganja White Night will be LYNY, Mary Droppinz, Chef Boyarbeats and Thred. As if that wasn’t enough partying, Ganja White Night is hosting their own pregame at the Mission Ballroom on 5/30. They’ve got Smoakland, Xotix, Stylust Beats and Myrias on the decks to make sure heads are bangin’ all weekend long!
