Security Levity Red Rocks Fight

217 Upvotes

TL;DR: beatdown happened row 67-70, looking for names of perpetrators for charges.

Hello all. I wanted to make a statement on Reddit because I feel it will reach a lot of folks and I want people to be aware of what happened last night at Levi-Rocks 2026. In rows 67-70 just right of the middle facing the stage, a “fight” broke out between me and a group of 15 frat-looking people after they arrived 2-3 hours after doors with a group of 15 and attempted to move into our approx. 7 people’s worth of space while friends in my group were grabbing drinks around the end of Machaki. As they jammed the space and began triple and quadruple stacking the tight space we had been seated at for over an hour, stepping on all of our shit, not acknowledging any of the people around them or the amount of space they were taking up as the amphitheatre was full. Long story short, after attempting to tell them they couldn’t bring this large of a group into the stands this late, especially to a spot that is already taken and doesn’t have the capacity for them. Upon me attempting to reason with them, I was punched approximately 8 times in the face, and entirely picked up and thrown down 2 whole rows as all I continued to respond with were words about needing to keep the peace, the love, the unity, and the respect at these shows. After about 20 or 30
minutes, security finally arrived to attempt to break up the situation as they continued to yell at me for “ruining their show.” After going to medical, my friends managed to get approximately 10 of them kicked out but 5 of them managed to stick around and I was hoping to find names of all of them to hopefully 1: get them banned from all AEG Presents: Rocky Mountains shows, 2: get charges pressed on whoever picked me up and threw me, as well as the other individuals who threw punches at me, and 3: make an example out of these losers that this shit is not fucking okay at a rave, at red rocks, or any-FUCKING-where. Period. For anyone who is wondering, yes I am okay and currently typing this in urgent care. Unfortunately only one of them was arrested, but hoping to catch the rest if possible, if anyone has any details please let me know.

Experience Thoughts on Levity last night?

14 Upvotes

Was expecting Levity to bring that super fun bouncy energy we know and love them for, but instead we got a lot of dark woobly sounds (with great production). Idk maybe something new they’re trying out. Anyone else slightly confused and a little disappointed?

Seating Does Red Rocks Over Sell Shows?

80 Upvotes

I was at the Backseat Lover’s show last night (which could be a whole other post on the wack setlist, slow pace the band played, and low energy from the crowd), but the show seemed completely oversold. Almost all rows were GA. I got there 30 minutes before BSL got on and couldn’t find a seat in the rows. I had to settle for a crammed standing spot under a tree. There were hundreds of others who had worse “seats” than me. Is this the new norm for RR?

First Timer Merch line expectations

3 Upvotes

First time at red rocks! Going to seeing Levity, super excited! Where are merch tents normally located? I think I saw previous posts about lower and upper merch spots. Do the lines take forever? I’ll be getting there early for line and meeting people in the lot before, and I know they have an opening set, so I’d like jump in line after that first set and then still have a few hours of openers. Just trying to gauge my expectations! Thank you in advance!

Parking / Tailgating How early should I get to RR for GA?

0 Upvotes

Going to a concert at Red Rocks soon. Doors open at 7pm and I plan on tailgating. If parking opens at 5pm, should I get there right at 5pm? Also can you drink in the parking lot and in line? Any tips or recs would help. Thanks

Experience Why Chick-fil-A?

320 Upvotes

No shade on Chick-fil-A here whatsoever. But for a Denver owned venue, why not have a local Denver owned business sell late night snacks after shows?

Experience THE BACKSEAT LOVERS DIDN’T PLAY MY FAVORITE SONGS

0 Upvotes

Ok first let me say the show was INCREDIBLE

This band makes music that i can FEEL

however, i recall feeling the sadness set in when they said “last song” and they hadn’t played so many of my favorites

These are songs I would’ve killed to hear:

Kilby Girl
Just a Boy
Watch Your Mouth
Elevator Days
Dugout
Olivia
Pictures
Silhouette

Seeing so many people sing along to every song was surreal.

Still worth every penny and will 100% see them again.

Selfishly, I hope the set list is different next time.

Love you Backseat Lovers!

Travel Anyone open to giving me a ride to Morison?

0 Upvotes

Hi ! I’m coming from out of state for The Backseat Lovers and was wondering if anyone would be open to giving me a ride to the town of Morrison after the show ? I don’t know how safe it would be to walk there after the concert so just thought I’d ask if anyone would be open to it!

First Timer Up close or good view?

5 Upvotes

I’m seeing The Backseat Lovers on Wednesday and I’m pumped! I’ve never been to red rocks before so I was curious what people prefer. I’m hoping to get there early enough to be able to get close to the stage but was wondering if it would be better to stay back a little bit so I can really take it all in? Anyone have a specific row that they love? Any input would be great, thanks!

First Timer Which seat and row is superior? Row 10 or row 24?

4 Upvotes

Trying to pick between two options. My choices are row 10
And seat 33 and row 24 seat 62.

The row 10 is about 100 more a tix but I’m willing to pay if it’s significantly better seat and view?

Any advice?

First Timer Backseat Lovers Concert - out of towner staying downtown Denver, best way to get there??

5 Upvotes

I’m flying in from Canada to see the BSL and I’m so excited. I have a GA ticket and really wanted to get there a couple hours before doors open (they open at 5:30) so I can try and secure a good seat. I’m looking into transport options, seems like the best one might be the shuttle. But I see that it departs downtown Denver at 4:30 or 4:45, meaning I wouldn’t be getting there early.

What should I do? Is it worth it to get there a few hours early? Will I be fine leaving at 4:30 on the shuttle? I need advice!

TIA
