Justice :: 03.12 by Arthur Shim
MONOLITH FESTIVAL presented by Esurance returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday September 13 and Sunday September 14. The festival, which debuted in 2007 as the first multi-day, multi-stage festival ever held at Colorado's beloved outdoor venue, was instantly adopted as an indie fan favorite and a staple of the summer festival season.

Each year, MONOLITH hand picks an impressive lineup, which for 2008 includes Denver's own Devotchka and French electro-buzz-band Justice as headliners. MONOLITH co-producer Josh Baker explains, "It's a true testament to Colorado's burgeoning music scene that one of this year's national breakout acts is also a hometown favorite." Joining the 2008 headliners is a deep and diverse roster including Silversun Pickups, Band of Horses, TV on the Radio, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Vampire Weekend, Avett Brothers, Neko Case, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Mickey Avalon, CSS, Cut Copy, The Kills, Tokyo Police Club and many, many more. A complete list of currently confirmed acts is included below, with additional artists still to be announced. Visit www.monolithfestival.com for ongoing updates.

Sorry but this lineup is WEAK! Last year had a decent lineup but nobody showed up. I guess this will be the last year for this.

Oh well, RED ROCKS has plenty of other bands this year.

I think the lineup last year included "bigger names" like Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, Cake, LCD and a bunch of other killer bands. Not to say that this is a totally crap lineup and not worth the money. $110 for 2 days of good music at the best outdoor heater in the world? Not all bad.

King Rhino - Good one!

Sahthegreat, I couldnt disagree more with you. This is one of the most original line ups of the summer so I have a feeling that this fest will RAGE!

kirkbrew...Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire and LCD did not even play Monolith last year! They played Red Rocks, but not the Monolith Festival. Last year's headliners were Cake and The Flaming Lips, which are both significantly larger acts than Devotchka and Justice, even though Cake is miserably lame. I wouldn't be surprised if some good bands will be added in the near future.
