Anyone who lives in Denver for the music is intimately familiar with all of our best venues — Cervantes, Mission Ballroom, Red Rocks, etc. — but a common gripe among us is the lack of nearby places to party in the mountains. All of them are an hour or more away, turning a simple evening show into a trek that often requires an overnight stay or coordinating drivers. We’re certainly spoiled in the city, but sometimes, you just want to get away and be immersed in the Rockies while listening to some great artists.
If this is a frustration you’ve experienced, we have good news: Echo Mountain is back in business. Located in Idaho Springs, just 30 minutes outside of Denver, the ski resort has been hard at work upgrading its concert venue to be better than ever. They’ve invested in newly paved roads and fresh AstroTurf to improve the grounds, and the result is a gorgeous spot for shows that’s an easy trip from the city. Visitors can hang out at the fire pit, grab a meal at the restaurant, or simply wander the area to take in views of the Continental Divide at more than 10,000 feet of elevation.
Their next show, SPECTRUM, will be thrown by Shakedown Productions on August 8th. A custom stage by ILL.DES (complete with a Turbosound rig and Funktion Ones) is set to host notable bass artists including Allen Mock, Bread Winner, BackLeft, Morning Coffee (pheel. b2b parkbreezy), and more. ILL.DES, Jonna P, The Void, and Steven Haman will be contributing their visual artistry to the stage as the sky darkens. The new AstroTurf is designated for dancing, but couch chillers will have plenty of room for lounging on the sloped areas.
If you want to stay in the mountains for the night after attending SPECTRUM, there are plenty of hotels, campgrounds, and dispersed campsites in the area. You could even make a day of it by going hiking or visiting one of the nearby hot springs to get the full mountain experience.
Tickets for SPECTRUM are going fast, so be sure to lock yours down now to avoid higher prices on the day of the show. It’s strongly recommended to carpool and buy your parking pass ahead of time, as there is limited room available for cars on the mountain. Shakedown is also offering a round-trip shuttle from Denver for those who don’t want to drive themselves. The schedule is as follows: 3:00 PM pickup at Velvet Banjo (next to the Fillmore) 741 E Colfax Ave, 11:45PM dropoff.
For additional travel information, permitted items, set times, and more, you can visit the Shakedown Productions website. Gather your homies and get ready for an unforgettable night under the stars — winter will be here soon enough.
