In 2020, Arise Music Festivallost its longtime home at Loveland s Sunrise Ranch and its odd relationship with the Emissaries of Divine Light, the fringe spiritual group that ran the space. Longtime producers Tierro Lee and Paul Bassis split with fellow producer Luke Comer, who tried to move the fest north of Park Creek Reservoir, between the small towns of Buckeye and Livermore in Larimer County. But that deal fell through when the Larimer County Commissioners refused to approve the site for a music festival.
After a year of hunting for a new location, the annual event has announced that it has purchased a 1,000-plus-acre property in Boone, and that positive talks are taking place with the local government, which supports the festival.
