After taking the year off in 2025, Global Dance Festival is officially back. The longest-running electronic music festival in Colorado announced it will return September 11th and 12th at the brand new LVC Festival Grounds. It’s kicking off this new chapter with a diverse lineup spanning multiple genres.
Presented by Global Dance and AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, this two-day festival has something for house, bass, and hard dance fans alike. This year’s headliners include Chris Lake, Kygo, Subtronics, and Tiesto. Whether you’re chasing euphoric sing-alongs, underground house grooves, or rail-riding bass drops, this lineup covers it all.
House music fans will have plenty to choose from with performances by Chris Lorenzo, HILLS, Noizu, Ship Wrek, and Sidepeice. Rising artists BOLO and ROMMII will bring their signature blend of Latin music, house, and techno that has landed them on the Ultra, Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and Hard Summer lineups. Meanwhile, sets from Tsu Nami and Wuki could go in any direction.
Given that Denver is the Bass Capital, bass music will be a major focus throughout the weekend. The entire spectrum of bass music is represented, from trap with Troyboi, Viperactive, and Zoey808 to melodic bass with Slander. Sets like Rossy B2B Pauline Herr and Z3LLA will blur the line between emotional melodies and hard-hitting bass. For fans looking for something heavier, there are several options including: Getter, Kai Wachi, Kompany, NGHTMRE, Svdden Death, and Virtual Riot B2B YDG.
Global Dance Festival has always had something for hard dance fans. This year, JSTJR is bringing the hard techno energy, while Timmy Trumpet could drop everything from big room to hardcore.
The move to the LVC Festival Grounds could mark a major turning point for the festival; it could finally have a place to call home again. This indoor/outdoor venue has the potential to bring back the atmosphere that longtime festival attendees remember. More from years when it was in the parking lot of Empower Field, rather than the National Western Complex.
Fans can register for presale now. Presale tickets will be available from Monday, May 11th to Wednesday May, 13th at 11 AM MT. General on sale follows at noon MT on May 13th. Stay up to date on announcements by following Global Dance Festival using the links below.
