TV on the Radio, Band of Horses, more to play Monolith

DeVotchKa, TV on the Radio and Band of Horses will be just a few of the bands playing this year’s Monolith Music Festival.

The festival will take place Sept. 13-14 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside Morrison, Colo. The Monolith Festival debuted just last year as the first multi-stage, multi-day festival ever to be hosted at Red Rocks.

Last year’s lineup was a who’s-who of indie artists, including the Flaming Lips, Spoon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Ghostland Observatory. This year promises more of the same, with artists including Neko Case, Vampire Weekend, the Avett Brothers, Justice and the Tokyo Police Club on the bill.
