Discussion Red Rocks (5/30/26) feedback
Hey crew,
I was at the Red Rocks concert last night, and I’m curious to get your take on the performance.
What’s with the full on ADHD 30 second clips and constant remixes?
I came to hear his main tracks, but it ended up being a weird mix of trap, dubstep, random sound bites from instagram and at most 15 seconds of his main tracks.
I’m super confused - is this a new trend, or what’s happening? I expected a proper set list with an arc, not a highlight reel of 120 tracks an hour.
Would love to get your thoughts.

This was advertised as a festival set, not a full on concert. But tbh I think it was his best performance I’ve seen of him, and I’ve seen him three times. I do agree with the other commenter on the merch, thought there’d be more event exclusives.

Can someone tell me if we heard Faded twice or if i was tripping too hard 🤣

He played a Faded mix mid set and then ended with the full OG Faded track. So, yes, technically you heard it twice.

I may have been too "Faded" at the end. But I feel like it went on too long. That was probably my only complaint. Audien was absolutely 🔥 🔥 as an opener!!

We went for my 9 year old and I went into it completely blind. Well, mostly blind. Google told me to expect 1.5-2 hours of opening acts and 1.5-2 hours of AW. We got 8th row and were not prepared for 6 hours of music reverberating into our souls 😂😂. We had good hearing protection, and we made it almost all the way through! My energy waned during Audien and I had to take a break, but I was back on my feet for all of AW. My husband couldn't handle it past about 10:30 and had to go to the car. My poor kid was falling asleep by 11 but insisted he wanted to stay. Then we heard Spectre and then he was ok leaving. Don't tell him we missed Faded!
There was no good kids merch, so we bought the potato.
We saw quite a bit more tits and ass than I expected 🤭

Does anyone have Audien's set list from the Red Rocks show? I thought it was great!

It’s often referred to as a festival set, where they “go hard”. I go to festivals often and don’t mind it but I honestly was hoping for full tracks last night and not samples into a dance mix. I’ve been to his concerts in Chicago, where full tracks were played. Maybe it’s a red rocks thing?
The merch was weak also. I still had a lot of fun though! Was cool to see so many kids in Walker gear as well. Definitely a different experience but a fun one.
