Blucifer returns for second rodeo next summer
After a successful first iteration, Blucifer’s First Rodeo festival is returning to South Broadway for another ride. The festival – now aptly deemed Blucifer’s Second Rodeo – announced it is returning to the Baker neighborhood on July 22-25, 2027. Organizers and local musicians Mike Young and Gillian Pasley scraped together the entirely artist-run festival in February, right after the Underground Musical Festival (UMS) announced it was moving from its 25-year home on Broadway to the RiNo neighborhood. The goal was twofold: to preserve the long-running history of summer music in the beloved neighborhood and to quell the qualms that Denver music festivals, like UMS, had become too focused on national acts and corporate sponsors.
