The Flaming Lips at MONOLITH

Some early feedback ...

"The outrageously beautiful Red Rocks has been screaming out for an underground/indie-style music festival for many years. I could have told you that, but thanks to the tireless work of an elite group of Colorado scenesters, the dream is now a reality..."

-- Billboard.com

"Red Rocks has long needed a festival worthy of its grandeur, and on paper the Monolith Festival hit all the marks Friday. A fantastic lineup, a musical setup that was a breeze to navigate, ticket prices that were an unbelievable value."

-- Rocky Mountain News, Grade: A

"Rock and Roll Heaven"

-- Matt & Kim (Performers on the New Belgium Stage)

"Let’s count ourselves lucky to be hosting a festival like Monolith, which was executed far better than I’d ever imagined and which was so much fun to be a part of."

-- Westword Backbeat Blogs

"Each of the five stages had a distinctive personality, and better yet, each was properly mixed - regardless of their bizarre proximity to each other. The acoustic stage was packed with excellent, well-mixed performances timed carefully to coincide with the breaks on the main stage."

-- Denver Post

"Morrison, Colorado's gorgeous Red Rocks Amphitheatre served as the setting for the inaugural Monolith Festival, which took place last weekend, September 14 and 15. Because a festival's not really a festival until the Flaming Lips play, Wayne Coyne and co. christened Monolith in their trademark style: with costumes, confetti, smoke, and, of course, the bubble. "
