[ShyGuy75]

monolith ruled last year. will be tough for them to best that lineup.

[SkyeDent]

I'm also curious about this lineup. I thought Kings of Leon or Wilco would headline, but I guess they've each got their own thing going on. Any rumors on headliners?

[drowningmatt]

I'm wondering if YYY's will play, they have no denver date on there summer tour. Free after august.

[El.C.Dub]

whats the setup like? multiple stages? Ins and outs? Multiple days? I love red rocks; it is hands down the best venue I have ever been to. Would someone who has attended please elaborate? This sounds like it could be fuckin epic!

[drowningmatt]

4 or 5 stages (Main, 1 up top, 2 inside and 1 by the entrace). no ins & outs. Running up and down the stairs for 12 hours.

[El.C.Dub]

hooray! i will be there with bells on

Monolith Festival: Still the one

Despite the rumors that the Monolith Festival is dead, the two-day music event at Red Rocks Amphitheatre will return Sept. 12-13, according to festival director Josh Baker.

The indie music festival has endured plenty to get here, including two years of far-from-full crowds and nonexistent profits. The event's promotional partner in 2007 and 2008, AEG Live, is no longer involved.

But Baker says he's excited about the changes ahead. "It's certainly a lot more work for us this year," Baker said. "But we do it because we have fun."

Some of Baker's goals for 2009: Lowering ticket prices, switching from Ticketmaster to Front Gate Tickets (thus lowering service charges) and creating a cohesive brand that will define the festival. Future Monoliths will resemble its second year (Justice, Cut Copy, Does It Offend You, Yeah) more than its first outing (Flaming Lips, Decemberists, Kings of Leon, Spoon).

"Indie, dance, hip-hop — and equal parts of each of those," Baker said. Ricardo Baca

I am really thinking about it. We'll see what happens once the lineup is released. I might just skip the fest and come out the next week for the home opener.

[stinkbutt]

[Blinken]

Nope, that is Mile High Fest, this is the one at the Red Rocks.
