Incapable of writing anything less than a thesis about an all-time first trip to Red Rocks for three nights of one of my goats
@MartinGarrix
Red Rocks has been at the top of my bucket list since first getting into dance music. And when Garrix announced he’d be playing there for the first time, I knew if these shows couldn’t convince me to finally go, idk what would
People always ask if it’s worth sending every night for these multi-night Garrix runs. The short answer is yes, and Red Rocks was a prime example of why. The reimagined Ushuaïa 2018 production was a masterpiece (shoutout to the legends Gabe Fraboni, Zis Ankone, and Andrea Voglino just to name a few), three different/peak Garrix tracklists (plus a new intro just for Red Rocks), the crowds were electric, and we got an Avengers-level support list (shoutout
@mestomusic,
@afrojack,
@marshmello, and
@Alesso). The shows somehow kept getting better, especially Friday with our tailgate B2B, Alessorrix 2.0, and my favorite of the three Garrix sets
As for Red Rocks itself, it was so surreal finally experiencing it in person. Everything from the view with the city lights in the back to the crisp sound (even being higher up night 1) to the setting as a whole came together for a perfect first impression. And despite the walk of death from the bottom to the top of the stairs at the end of each night, I left Red Rocks on Friday fully understanding why I people always say it’s their favorite place on Earth
As always, I could yap about this for hours but I’ll end this caption with a thank you to
@MartinGarrix, the
@stmpdrcrds team, the
@RedRocksCO team, and everyone else involved in making last week happen
