Global Dance Festival is the longest-running electronic music event in Colorado, and after a hiatus it returns September 11 and 12, 2026 on the new LVC festival grounds at the National Western Center, with Tiësto and Kygo at the top of a lineup that runs deep into bass and house.
Subtronics, Chris Lake, Slander, Svdden Death and TroyBoi fill out a two-day bill of more than two dozen acts. Each day runs 4 p.m. to midnight on an indoor and outdoor site built for large crowds.
The National Western Center sits north of downtown near the 48th and Brighton A Line stop, the easiest way in given festival parking. Pack a layer for the late sets, when September nights cool off fast.
