 What is MusicFest?

MusicFest is a yearly tradition where DUPB brings in an artist to perform for the student body for FREE! This year DUPB has brought Between Friends as the headliner with Fly by Midnight and Exhaler as openers.

MusicFest this year is occurring at Levitt Pavilion. The address is 1380 W Florida Ave, Denver, CO. We have a tailgate at 4 pm! Doors open at 5:30 pm
