After eleven consecutive sold-out years at Red Rocks, Canadian electronic icons Zeds Dead return to Colorado for Deadrocks XII, a two-night takeover set for July 2 and 3, 2026 at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The celebration continues with the annual Backyard Jamboree on Saturday, July 4, held this year at Denver’s Auraria Campus.
Deadrocks XII and the Backyard Jamboree stand as cornerstone moments in Zeds Dead’s live calendar. What began as a cult favorite has evolved into a full-fledged summer ritual, drawing thousands of fans to Colorado each year. The 2026 edition carries that legacy forward with brand-new stage production, thoughtfully curated support lineups, and immersive fan experiences that honor more than a decade of the duo’s genre-blurring impact.
Fresh off the momentum of their acclaimed 2025 album Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, Deadrocks XII will introduce new live material and custom visuals inspired by the project’s cinematic, wide-ranging sound world. Previous years have seen both nights at Red Rocks sell out before any lineup announcements were revealed, underscoring the event’s experience-first ethos and the unwavering dedication of the Zeds Dead community.
The Backyard Jamboree returns on July 4 with an expanded footprint while maintaining its much-loved block-party spirit. Fans can expect BBQ, lawn games, a hot dog eating contest, a bustling vendor village, and a stacked lineup curated by Zeds Dead alongside their Deadbeats family. Equal parts celebration and gathering, the Jamboree remains one of dance music’s most community-driven and memorable events.
