Electronic Music Festival Colorado 2026 — Denver Electronic Music Scene | Badger Music & Arts Festival

Where Colorado's Electronic Music Scene Pitches Its Tents

A Boutique Electronic Festival at 9,000 Feet

August 13-16, 2026  |  Hartsel, Colorado

Denver's electronic music scene has spent years building something real — warehouse parties, club nights, a community that actually shows up. Badger is the electronic music festival in Colorado that takes all of that and drives it 90 minutes into the high plains, reassembling it under a sky with no light pollution.

Our programming refuses to pick one lane. Heavy bass, house, techno, Jamtronic, and experimental sound share the weekend, because sonic diversity is the whole point — discover a genre you didn't have a name for between sets by an artist you already love.

And the music is only half of it. Interactive art, themed camps, and shared spaces turn the grounds into a temporary autonomous zone — a scene-built, artist-calibrated world that only exists for three days and only works because everyone helps hold it up.

Thursday, August 13 — Perseid Meteor Shower Pre-Party

Arrive a night early and open the weekend under a new-moon sky at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower — one of the darkest skies in Colorado. A dance party beneath the Milky Way, then ambient soundscapes as the stars take over.
