Lineup

Flobots
Headliner

Flobots

Flobots are the Denver band that turned a viral hit, "Handlebars," into a whole career of conscience-driven alt-hip-hop and rock. Built on live instruments, a violin out front, and lyrics that actually have something to say, their shows are part concert, part call to action. Smart, urgent, and impossible to file under one genre.

Mae

Mae is an American rock band formed in 2001 in Norfolk, Virginia. The group, known for their emotive and melodic sound, was originally composed of vocalist/guitarist Dave Elkins, guitarist Jacob Marshall, bassist Mark Padgett, and drummer Zach Gehring. Mae (an acronym for "Multisensory Aesthetic Experience") blends elements of alternative rock, indie, and post-hardcore, often incorporating intricate melodies and introspective lyrics. Their breakthrough album, The Everglow (2005), gained critical acclaim for its ethereal and anthemic quality. Over the years, Mae has become known for their deeply connected fan base and thoughtful, concept-driven albums. Though their lineup has evolved, Mae continues to inspire with their unique blend of heartfelt music and creative expression.
