Fresh off the release of their first album in nearly a decade, Zeds Dead are set to extend their Deadrocks XI celebration with the return of one of Colorado’s most cherished summer events: the 5th Annual Backyard Jamboree, happening July 4 at Civic Center Park in Downtown Denver.
What began as a modest fan appreciation BBQ has grown into a 10,000-person, family-friendly festival—blending all-day performances, local food and craft vendors, and classic outdoor games. Now a staple of Deadbeats’ annual Colorado takeover, the Backyard Jamboree brings the Deadbeats community together for a unique, open-to-all celebration in the heart of the city.
This year’s edition follows two sold-out nights of Deadrocks XI at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 2 and 3, and serves as the final chapter in a three-day Zeds Dead Colorado extravaganza. The event will be set against the backdrop of the duo’s critically acclaimed new album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, a 14-track psychedelic journey accompanied by a trippy, 55-minute visual film.
The 2025 Jamboree Lineup So Far Includes:
- Ravenscoon – fresh from a sold-out Mission Ballroom show and his Glass Orchid headline tour, bringing his signature blend of punk, metal, hip-hop, and psychedelic bass.
- Cool Customer – rising Deadbeats favorite with glitch-hop and bass fusions, backed by Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Tape B.
- Villager, Nikita, The Wicked, Skellytn, Don Jamal, Noises, Soki, Keenan Mathias, and Papajay, rounding out a genre-bending mix of experimental talent.
Event Highlights:
- Live music all day curated by Zeds Dead and Deadbeats
- Legendary hot dog eating contest — one of the largest west of the Mississippi
- Classic backyard games: dunk tanks, 3-legged races, donut-on-a-string, inflatable obstacle courses, and more
- Vendor village with local food trucks, artists, and crafters
- Interactive brand activations, art installations, and community zones
- All-ages, inclusive environment designed for fans of all backgrounds
The Backyard Jamboree reflects Zeds Dead’s signature approach to live touring—creating immersive, jam-band-style weekends that prioritize community, energy, and connection. Last year’s event featured two stages, surprise guest sets, and exclusive fan experiences from longtime Deadbeats collaborators.
With Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness marking a creative high point for the duo—blending nostalgia-laced sample work with glitchy, genre-defying production—this year’s Backyard Jamboree is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable celebrations of the summer.
