Monolink has spent the past month crossing the United States in support of his third studio album, The Beauty of It All. The 16-date run brought the German songwriter, producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist back to Summit Music Hall on February 24th. Monolink has maintained a steady relationship with the city, which has grown over the years. Denver audiences have followed his rise from a 2018 performance at Bar Standard to an appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2021 alongside RÜFÜS DU SOL, and a sold-out headline show at Summit in 2022.
Before Monolink took the stage, French duo Parallelle warmed up the room with a live set that immediately got the crowd moving. Performing material from their latest album, 11th Avenue, the pair blended live vocals, loop machines, and laptop production. Their layered, melodic grooves slowly got the crowd moving on the dancefloor.
By the time Monolink took the stage, Summit was packed wall-to-wall. Returning with a brand new stage setup, his performance blurred the line between a DJ set and a live concert. The night centered around The Beauty of It All. Its cinematic melodies and introspective songwriting translated seamlessly into a live setting. There was something for longtime fans as well. When the opening notes of “Sirens” and “Father Ocean” from his first album rang out, the crowd responded instantly, singing along as the tracks unfolded.
Across the two-hour performance, Monolink carefully balanced energy and intimacy. At times, the room pulsed with danceable rhythms, while other moments felt almost suspended in time. It was just him alone on stage the whole night. He delivered stripped-down vocals that hushed the crowd, standing with his guitar or seated at the piano.
