Denver approves massive 3-day music festival that will start in 2018
Superfly Productions received official approval Monday night to launch its latest large music festival in south Denver.
The festival faced a barrage of concerns from many neighbors for months before the City Council voted 10-3 to approve the five-year agreement. The deal paves the way for the entry into Denver of the promoter behind San Francisco’s Outside Lands and rural Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.
Most council members credited event organizers for addressing community concerns in their plans, although some still had worries, and said the event’s financial boon for the surrounding area would be significant.
The Denver contract allows for a three-day weekend festival each September on Overland Park Golf Course, with each event staged the second or third weekend of that month beginning in 2018.
