If you’re looking for an excuse to come to Colorado, you could do a hell of a lot worse than checking out the 2nd edition of the Monolith Music Festival.  Slated for 9/13-9/14, Monolith takes over Red Rocks with a line up you have to see to believe.

A few highlights from my perspective:

Justice
The Presets
Cut Copy
Vampire Weekend
Silversun Pickups
TV on the Radio
Band of Horses
CSS

Even longtime UM favorite Boyhollow (aka dj Michael Trundle of Lipgloss fame) will be throwing down a set; although you better be ready to pay for that particular priviledge- he’s spinning for VIP ticketholders ($225, but includes 2day pass / reserved soundboard seating, private bar, etc) at an exclusive after-party Saturday night.

For the rest of us?

Single day tickets are just $59.50
2-Day tickets - $110

Check the whole lineup, and get those modems purring Friday morning when the onsale commences.
