Picture it…you’re lying back under the glistening stars, psychedelic Rock and RRoll is humming into your eardrums, and looming pine trees hold you and your fellow music lovers – as you all bask in two glorious nights of camping, music, art, and connection. Make this your reality at Psychs Peak, a DIY community-driven camping festival located just an hour’s drive from the Mile High City.
Featuring a stellar lineup of mostly local acts, the music encompasses the full range of the genre umbrella known as Psych Rock. On the lineup, we’ve got heavy tone crushers, Kadabra – Texas Rock and Rollers, White Dog – Fort Collin’s Psych Punkers, Bitchflower – Denvers’ progressive classic rockers, Eaglewing – Denver baddie babes, Barbara – feel-good fest vets, Honey Blazer – wide-ranging sound curators, Horse Bitch – the Mile High’s Psych Grunge catalysts, Rugburn – and oh so many more music makers that are destined to rock your wool socks off and melt your damn faces.
Stu Mackenize from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard even said that Psychs Peak is where it’s at — SO LISTEN TO STU. Along with the unending palette of amazing live tunes, Psychs Peak promises an incredible buffet of visual artists and their engaging art installations. Located at the picturesque Green Mountain Ranch, this intimate experience showcases the best of Colorado’s alternative and creative scenes.
Welcoming all walks of life and interests, this festival offers the much-needed opportunity to escape the sweaty dive bar venues (that we love!) and discover kick ass music and art in a nature-centered environment. Release your inner psychedelic beast, relish in unadulterated fun, meet your future ex-lover, boogie down in the woods like you never have before – the possibilities are endless when you summit Psychs Peak.
The best part? This fest is doing the most. They keep ticket prices low, offer volunteer shifts in exchange for a weekend pass, and uphold an absolutely leave-no-trace practice. Tickets and more can be found here. We sure hope you join us in the beautiful Pine, Colorado, on the weekend of September 5th and 6th.
