By the end of winter, we're daydreaming about live outdoor music on warm nights at places like Red Rocks or Levitt Pavilion. But there's also a new Colorado music festival to look forward to this summer: The inaugural Up in the Sky Music Festival will take place at the base of Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen from August 8 to 9.

And with one look at the initial lineup, you know that this will be major.
