UPDATE: Red Rocks Responds, Reveals Bassnectar Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About

Stream Dillon Francis and More Live From HARD Red Rocks

UPDATE: It has been brought to our attention that Bassnectar’s tweets aren’t entirely accurate, as the venue has yet to review this year and/or even consider new sanctions for 2016. We apologize for worrying fans, and hope that EDM can continue to thrive at the historic attraction for years to come. Their marketing and communications director laid it out plain and simple in response:

“I’ve said this before, the history of Red Rocks is the history of pop culture in the United States, and EDM is a big part of that. We are absolutely not trying to ban EDM, but we have a responsibility to neighbors, and we put in restrictions in place that we thought were fair. If (an artist) finds that it doesn’t work for them and the way that they want their music to be heard, we completely understand.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________

We’ve covered the topic before, when Red Rocks was first forced to drastically reduce bass and sub-bass decibel levels. Now, it’s happening again, despite a vehement fan petition.

We’ll refer to it as the BASS-ageddon from here on out.

In a fresh twitter reveal from Lorin, aka Bassnectar, the undeniable king of Colorado who regularly sells out an entire weekend of concerts at Red Rocks, he reveals that the historic venue is once more being forced to lower bass levels to accommodate the neighboring town’s requests.

Nectar even goes as far as publicly denouncing the venue, boldly vociferating that the only shows which Red Rocks can adequately accommodate now are ambient or rock performances. He states simply “the venue is a bust.” However, harken yung Colorado bassheads, he does have other plans to sate your thirst.

In my experience they’ve already approaching the threshold of “enjoyable” volume levels thanks to the current restrictions, and enforcing the bass-ageddon come 2016 is only going to make matters worse. 

Stay tuned for more info and check it all out in his tweets below.

There will be no Red Rocks shows of any decent volume in 2016. They are gonna lower their DB level even more. We have other plans for CO 😉

Any show in 2016 at Red Rocks will have virtually no bass. Sad but true. Other than ambient music or rock, the venue is a bust sadly 🙁

— Bassnectar (@bassnectar) September 10, 2015

But we're putting together plans for something super magical in #Colorado where we can play at a decent volume and gather the freaks in 2016

— Bassnectar (@bassnectar) September 10, 2015

The trick with volume is to set it at the perfect balance so it sounds warm, tight and beautiful like a good car stereo, yet plenty heavy

— Bassnectar (@bassnectar) September 10, 2015

And sadly Red Rocks is gonna have to run their sound levels so low it will sound like laptop speakers. And I'd feel guilty telling ppl to go

— Bassnectar (@bassnectar) September 10, 2015

Fans and music lovers deserve the experience they expect – full sonic immersion. Not too loud, but not too quiet. Colorado deserves the BASS
