Deadrocks XI: Zeds Dead Returns To Denver Next Week For Another Epic Fourth Of July Takeover

Zeds Dead fans are brimming with excitement this week as we approach what many of us consider our “Super Bowl,” also known as Deadrocks week. The annual Fourth of July takeover will return to Denver next week, starting with Deadrocks (July 2nd & 3rd) and ending with the Deadbeats Backyard Jamboree (July 4th), and the Deadrocks Hangover (July 4th). After an iconic Deadrocks X last year, which saw the debut of many fan-favorite tracks now played out on their RSIH tour, Deadrocks XI will be another event for the books.

Deadrocks XI

The legendary duo will first head to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater for the main event: Deadrocks XI. The two-night extravaganza will feature earth-shattering bass, mind-bending visuals, and an unforgettable experience on Wednesday, July 2nd, and Thursday, July 3rd, 2025.

The lineup for each night is curated with an impressive roster of talent from Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats label and beyond, closing with a unique two-hour set each night from the boys themselves. Fans can expect a fresh array of tunes from Zeds Dead’s newly released album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, alongside a slew of brand new IDs and heart-melting classics, ensuring a little something for everyone.

Deadbeats Backyard Jamboree

The festivities don’t end at Red Rocks. Zeds Dead will once again host their annual Deadbeats Backyard Jamboree on July 4th at Civic Center Park. Now in its fifth year, the Backyard Jamboree has grown from a fan appreciation BBQ into a 10,000-person, community-focused music festival. Blending all-day performances, local vendors, and classic lawn games, it’s become a defining feature of Deadbeats’ Colorado calendar – welcoming fans of all ages to celebrate with food, fun, and unmatched vibes in the heart of the city. 

This year’s Jamboree features a powerhouse roster of fan-favorites and rising talent, including Ravenscoon, Cool Customer, Villager, Nikita, The Wicked, Skellytn, Don Jamal, Noises, Soki, Keenan Mathias, and Papajay.

Event Highlights:

  • Live music all day (curated by Zeds Dead and Deadbeats)
  • Deadbeats’ legendary hot dog eating contest — one of the largest west of the Mississippi
  • Backyard activities: dunk tanks, 3-legged races, donut-on-a-string, inflatable games, and more
  • Vendor village featuring food trucks, crafts, and local creators
  • Family-friendly environment with games and installations
  • Interactive brand activations and community engagement zones

Deadrocks Hangover

And for the die-hard fans, insert Deadrocks Hangover, the final event in the three-day celebration, taking place after the Jamboree on July 4th at Mission Ballroom. For those who don’t know, the Hangover sets are where the boys get experimental: expect deep cuts, the nastiest of wubs, and surprise guests.

Deadrocks XI is shaping up to be another monumental event for Zeds Dead in the midst of a monumental year. With an incredible lineup and the stunning backdrop of Red Rocks and Civic Center Park, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
