Great event! However, I know that California/hawaii reggae/rock fills the seats but there needs to be a balance between that kind of reggae/rock and roots reggae. I enjoyed myself but could not help but notice that in the last two years Reggae on the Rocks has slowly moved away from a Reggae concert to a Rock/Reggae concert. Maybe balance it out at 50% ??
I purchased these tickets as a gift for my grandchildren. Even though I could not afford better seats, they tell me they loved it and had a wonderful time.
I have been going to this show for years. It is something I look forward to all year. Fantastic! So much fun, and the crowd it attracts is friendly and open. The bands this year were all really good. It's such a beautiful event. I met people who traveled here from all over the country just to come to the show. It sold out this year and I am afraid to tell people how awesome it is because next year it'll probably sell out sooner!
This was my 2nd year going to Reggae on the Rocks and I had a good time. I wish they played a little more "upbeat" reggae because I was being put to sleep by the slow stuff. LOL! Other than that, I had a great experience!! XOXO Peace, Love, Light
Great bands, great people, great times! Beautiful venue, the drinks are a bit pricey, but that's to be expected.
Good vibes and great music all around. I came for Rebelution, Iration, and The Green, but all the bands were amazing! I would definitely go again, and I recommend this event to anyone!
The music is amazing. The crowd is peaceful and engaged. And watching Red Rocks transition from day to night is unbelievable.
It was an unbelievable show! Great for an all day event!
from start to finish the show was by far da bestest concert i eva been to. only recomendation i have for next year is to see some soja tribal seeds and da green.dats enough of rebelution.other than that great show defintly going again next year
I'm so glad that I went. It was the best concert ever!. With all the great bands, it was really worth the money and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying it out next year. How can you beat 9 hours of pure reggae all in one show, totally awesome! See you next year. Seating was general admission so you could sit anywhere you wanted....just try to get there before 4pm cause after that, seats fill up and you'll have to sit higher up. Doesn't really matter cause it's all good no matter where you sit. LS
It was the 25th Anniversary of Reggae on the Rocks, but Rebelution STOLE the show!!!
The venue and line up were incredible!!! Over 115 years in the music business between 3 groups, unbeatable. The vibe in the crowd was also unforgettable. Please book Jah Spear and the Burning Band for next year's show at Red Rock!!!!
A great set of music from Winston Rodney. Always an amazing performance. I feel lucky to have had the chance to see him and his band play a show at red rocks. Listen to Burning Spear!!
Excellent venue to see some of Reggae Legends. the Meditation always give a great show. A rather surprising set was turned in by Rebelution. Steele Pulse was exciting as usual, bring the same energy that has made them legendary. Nothing can explain the excitement of the crowd when Burning Spear appeared. Once you get by the climb to the ampitheater the venue is superb with great sound......................(lc)
Wow, what can you say. Red Rocks is awesome. The bands were really good, Meditations classic roots awesomeness, Judge Roughneck fun reggae rock ska, Rebelution pretty fly for a white guy, BUT **STEEL PULSE** WAS MASSIVE SOUND - THAT WHOLE PLACE WAS JUMPIN, THE BEATS WERE THUMPIN, THE REGGAE WAS **HOT** !!! Then of course BURNING SPEAR. I mean, c'mon. How could you not love this? General admission, mostly hung out up top, room to spread out and s k a n k. View from up there is mind blowing, and the sound still top notch in row 60. Made it down to the front for most of Spear and it is really groooovy up close too.
Great line up of reggae artists. Much better than last year!
A truly amazing event. Each band was better and better. Rebelution pleased as usual, and Steel Pulse and Burning Spear were unreal.
I've been attending this show for 20 years. It's well run and super fun. This year our 8 year old made his 1st Reggae on the Rocks. I hope it continues forever! One Love.
I remember when Reggae on the Rocks was a 2-day festival - judging from the crowd on Saturday night, I think it could be again. It was a great atmosphere - no fights, nobody spilling beer on me - just a lot of very happy music lovers dancing and enjoying themselves. We usually sit down front at Red Rocks, but decided to sit up high so we could see what that is like, and also because we arrived late, at about 7 pm. The scenery is great up high, and it's nice being so close to the restrooms and food (when they had food...) The sound was surprisingly good considering the distance from the stage, and the large screen gave us some closeups. It is far less crowded up top. As nice as it was, I think next time we'll go earlier and sit down front to see better (depending on the lineup). I think the lineup could be improved - it used to be better! Steel Pulse and Burning Spear are legends, and they were great - we really enjoyed them, but we really weren't interested in the rest of the lineup (although I did like Rebelution). Please bring back the Marley brothers (Damien, Stephen, and Kymani would be excellent), and bring us current reggae, such as Protoje, Capleton, Morgan Heritage, Mavado, Tarrus Riley, Beenie Man, Konshens, Anthony B, Sean Paul, Romaine Virgo, Cecile, I-Octane, etc. (just some suggestions!) I think an improved lineup and 2-day format would bring in more out-of-town visitors to this amazing venue. This is a great place to hear reggae, and it's nice to have the vendors up top (but I think they used to have Jamaican food up there - I didn't see any this year). Speaking of food, they ran out, and there were no vegan options, other than potato chips. Some veggie hot dogs would be an easy thing to add, I would think, or hummus wraps. Next time we'll bring our own.
I arrived at around 4:20 pm so I missed the first band in the line-up. When the third band the Meditations came out, the audience started filling the seats and you could feel the energy of the mass of bodies. Laser lights were being sold and distributed as colors filled the auditorium. The Meditations played two versions of "Stir it Up" back to back, as it is always essential to pay tribute to Bob Marley at a reggae show. When Steel Pulse came out, it was the typical high-energy positive vibe that makes them a favorite to see anytime they come to the Denver/Boulder area. They played their usual jams and paved the way for the headliner, Burning Speer. Having never had the chance to experience Burning Speer in my repertoire of reggae, I hardly believed that anyone could have been more suitable to headline than Steel Pulse. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. The bantor between the crowd and the band were refreshing. I see at least one show at Red Rocks every year and they are all amazing, but nothing compares to the diverse reggae crowd. If you can only make one show at Red Rocks a year, Reggae on the Rocks is the true experience :)
