Denver s often divided electronic-music scene has finally found a reason to come together: to shut down underground raves and house parties that risk becoming COVID-19 superspreader events.
Promoters, venue staffers and musicians in the city s underground scene, which isn t exactly known for abiding by the law, say that public health is more important than partying right now, and as much they want to get back to throwing raves and parties, the events aren t worth it if they re going to make people sick. And some of these scene stalwarts are willing to blacklist artists and promoters who go forward with raves and other shows.
