Wax Trax Records turning South Broadway and Highland into a three-day underground music festival is reason enough for Denver heads to clear the last weekend of August. The bill leans deep: Silkworm play their first Denver show in 25 years and Kowloon Walled City make their Denver debut.
The festival spreads across three rooms from August 28 to 30, 2026: Hi-Dive and Skylark Lounge on the South Broadway strip and the Bug Theatre over in Highland. Westword named it among the best festivals of the year.
Because it moves between venues, plan the route in advance. Check ghostcanyonfest.com for a full-weekend wristband versus single-show tickets before the strongest nights sell.
