Montreal natives Dave 1 and P-Thugg have turned their childhood friendship into a 20-year musical career, launching them from Montreal basements to main stages worldwide. Through six critically acclaimed studio albums, Chromeo (DJ Set) are credited for pioneering the 80s-tinged electrofunk sound that permeates radio airwaves today. Known for their analog synths, infectious hooks and iconic visuals, Chromeo (DJ set) are also a relentless live act: 2023 marked their fifth performance at Coachella (they’ve also played Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo four times) and 2024 capped a 150-date touring cycle for their latest release, Adult Contemporary. Last Fall, the duo returned to their roots and performed their seminal record Fancy Footwork front to back for six sold-out nights. Expect new music from the Funklordz this year, and for years to come.
Goldilox. Six musicians with one dream: to bring rock, pop and a little funk to Denver. Are they a cover band? Yes. But do they rock? Absofrickinlutely.

So if you like singing, dancing and having the best night of your life, come see them play. Let Goldilox take you back to the ‘90s and beyond.
