Joining the 2008 headliners is a deep and diverse roster including Silversun Pickups, Atmosphere, Band of Horses, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, The Avett Brothers, Superdrag, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Mickey Avalon, The Kills, CSS, Does it Offend You, Yeah?, Del the Funky Homosapien and many, many more. A complete list of currently confirmed acts is available at www.monolithfestival.com.
MONOLITH fills a niche in Colorado’s already vibrant indie music scene, even within a seemingly saturated U.S. festival market. Unlike other large format festivals, Monolith’s boutique personality, affordable ticket prices and premium facilities provide an intimate festival setting in one of the most pristine venues in the world, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Everything from the mild mountain climate and the picturesque views to the amazing natural acoustics and comfortable capacity provides the perfect ambience for a true music lover to discover something special. With five stages ranging from the historic Red Rocks mains stage to the intimate indoor WOXY.com stage, MONOLITH offers a variety of settings focused on the discovery of new music. As Billboard Magazine reviewed, “The outrageously beautiful Red Rocks has been screaming out for an underground/indie-style music festival for many years - Thanks to the tireless work of an elite group of Colorado scenesters, the dream is now a reality.”
