Global Dance Festival Tickets

The Global Dance Festival isn't just the largest annual summer music event in the Rocky Mountain region — it's two days of utter EDM immersion in an environment tailor-made to support every vibe, pulse and drop served up by a diverse array of performers. While superstar producers and DJs like Deadmau5, Zedd and Tiësto are known to top the bill at the Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Denver, the five stages generally cater to different sounds, from bass blowouts to thumping house to alternative strains. Meanwhile, the other senses are stimulated via state-of-the-art stagecraft, roving circus performers, huge art installations, actual carnival rides and a food truck marketplace. Oh, and don't forget the silent disco, where revelers don headphones and pick one of three live-DJed channels to dance to. In 2019, the Global Dance Festival featured performances by rave regulars like Kaskade, ZHU, Galantis and Diplo, alongside revered old-schoolers like Green Velvet and buzzing newcomers like Black Caviar.

Global Dance Festival Background

The Global Dance Festival was born at Red Rocks in 2002 from the ashes of a beloved, but much smaller, event called Rave on the Rocks. Nestled within that eerie but beautiful natural setting, GDF was a glorious contrast of neon lasers and digital noise — a true destination for dance fans — and the festival helped earn Denver a respectable place within the EDM scene. All of that paved the way for a move in 2017 to Mile High, which sits at 5,280 feet above sea level and feels nearly as wide. The bigger venue allowed organizers to turn the Global Dance Festival into one massive playground for more costume-clad fans than ever before, with more performers, too. While they've experimented with hosting live bands like Empire of the Sun and rap acts like Gucci Mane, this weekender's strength is right there in the name: pulling together the best DJs and producers from across the wide world of electronic dance music.

    It's good to be back at Global!

    by InspiringPresence on 8/24/23

    In a post-pandemic world, im glad to see Global still going strong. It was my first Global since 2019. I absolutely loved my time at Global! The vibes were immaculate, the music and food was incredible! Zedd played the most amazing set that fulfilled my heart! I would've liked more rides, but the emphasis on the music was incredible and everything sounded amazing. It was pure joy. I'm never gonna miss a Global ever again!

    Bathrooms

    by Dave on 8/2/23

    Please have bathrooms available outside in the parking area. People meet up at the parking lot to go in as a group and its hard to that when the bathrooms are all inside. More rides and more sitting areas for people to rest.

    Good but overpriced

    by Deathstrike2112 on 7/31/23

    Global Dance Festival 2023 was a great experience but for the 20th anniversary I would have expected a slightly better lineup. Last year's was better. It was a good experience all in all but very hot and the food and drink options are terribly overpriced. 13$ for a small 6 Oz cup of vodka and OJ? Yeah okay sure.

    Ehh

    by Dorbis on 7/28/23

    Really wish they'd invest more back into the show, I expect more from the ticket price. Has been the same for all the years I've attended. Would love to see more art and shade coverage. Also this year (2023) dropped from 4 stages, to 3 stages, so there was less music. Otherwise cool and fun, keep it up.

    Global Dance Festival never disappoints!

    by Xanee on 7/25/23

    This was my 3rd year at Global and they consistently put out great entertainment, great layout and it never disappoints. The only negative experience I had at Global was with the Coca Cola Studio. My girlfriend and I signed up and waited in line 20-25 minutes only to have a group of 4 who just arrived be put into the studio before us. The excuse was the group was already in the system? I input all my information into the system too; and was waiting in line, missing out on artists performances at the festival. The guy that was running the line asked us for our name 3 times in a row as well? There was one group of 2 behind us, then the group of 4? Wasn't a lot to keep track of, but the constant checking my name and waiting with nothing happening, then being skipped in line agitated me. The group behind us left and so did we. What a waste of time. Otherwise everything else was good about the festival! Will be back, but will avoid the coca cola studio just so I don't waste my time again.
