Bassnectar is in Denver this weekend for the annual Freestyle Sessions shows. Last night went off without a hitch as far as we know, with supporting sets from Joker, Reso, and Pushloop. Unfortunately, Bassnectar & his team are faced with an incredible challenge the rest of the weekend as their venue, First Bank Center, has suddenly and unexpectedly had to close for repairs.
This afternoon, Bassnectar shared a statement with his fans that First Bank Center would be closed for the next week due to “a sudden and unexpected systems malfunction.” Even Bassnectar himself is taken aback by the news. He continues, “This is unprecedented and a complete shock to all of us, but they have informed us they cannot open their doors for tonight’s and tomorrow night’s events. We are currently brainstorming every possible solution – we realize how devastating this is, and how many of you have traveled so far and spent so much time and money and energy to be a part of this amazing weekend. Please stand by for further information as soon as we are able to provide it for you.”
Tonight’s event was set to feature sets from J:Kenzo, The Librarian, and DJ Danny Corn while tomorrow had Shades, Phutureprimitive, and Thelem.
At this time, Freestyle Sessions has not been “officially” cancelled. That being said, it will certainly not be occurring at First Bank Center.

Bassnectar is now replying to fans to help clear up some of the confusion.
No it had nothing to do with us, we’ve played that venue almost ten times – and last night was perfecto – just bizarre and so heartbreaking they had to suddenly shut down the entire venue for a week of immediate repairs!? We are brainstorming solutions in real time – much love https://t.co/Ib7t9Cf892
