Coming on the heels of their two sold-out headlining shows at New York City’s Terminal 5 (March 11 and 12) and the release of their new single “The Little Things,” acclaimed electronic music group BIG GIGANTIC has officially announced the details for their annual Colorado festival “ROWDYTOWN.” The fifth installment of the Boulder-based duo’s massive hometown show–voted the #1 EDM show by Denver’s Westword in 2012–returns to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre for two nights: Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24. Tickets for “Rowdytown V” are on sale now (Thursday, March 17) via http://bit.ly/Rowdytown5.
As it has over the last couple years, the supporting lineups for each night of “Rowdytown V” will feature some of the brightest upcoming talent and differ nightly, contributing to a weekend-long dance party. Joining BIG GIGANTIC—Dominic Lalli (saxophonist/producer) and Jeremy Salken (drummer)–will be American producer and DJ Kill The Noise, Canadian DJ Vanic and Chicago-based electronic music duo Louis The Child on Friday (9/23), with trap producer Marshmello, Denver-based melodic bass producer Illenium and 19-year-old Swedish producer Kasbo on Saturday (9/24).
Upon its debut in 2012 to a sold-out crowd of more than 9,500 fans, Rowdytown marked the first time an artist ever used projection mapping visuals on the famous rocks of Red Rocks. The one-of-a-kind experience, which has sold out in advance every year, has featured an exciting list of artists on its lineups including Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Dillon Francis, GRiZ, Adventure Club, Manic Focus, Snails, RL Grime, Jauz, The Motet and many more.
