Article Contributed by madison | Published on Monday, May 19, 2008

Today, MONOLITH FESTIVAL presented by Esurance announces additional artists to an already stellar lineup.  The festival, returning to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14, debuted in 2007 as the first multi-day, multi-stage festival ever held at Colorado's beloved outdoor venue and was instantly adopted as an indie fan favorite and a staple of the summer festival season.

Each year, MONOLITH hand picks an impressive lineup of indie favorites and blog darlings, which for 2008 includes Denver's own Devotchka and French electro-buzz-band Justice as headliners.  Today, MONOLITH the addition of Atmosphere, Hercules and Love Affair, Foals, Does it Offend You, Yeah? Port O'Brien, Pomegranates, Colour Revolt, KaiserCartel, Candy Coated Killahz, Jukebox the Ghost, American Bang, The Chain Gang of 1974, Joshua Novak, Erin Ivey, The Wheel, Paperbird, Noah Harris, Lynsey Smith, Scratch Track, David Moore, LoveLikeFire, and Dave Beegle to an already stacked lineup. A complete list of confirmed acts is included below.

MONOLITH fills a niche in Colorado's already vibrant indie music scene, and even within a seemingly saturated U.S. festival market. With five stages and premium facility amenities, MONOLITH builds on the natural splendor of Red Rocks and has quickly become a requisite for festival goers and indie music fans.  As the Rocky Mountain News reviewed, " Red Rocks has always needed a festival worth of its grandeur, [MONOLITH] hit all the marks...a fantastic lineup, a musical setup that was a breeze to navigate, and ticket prices that were an unbelievable value".
