If you attended Decadence at the Colorado Convention Center this past weekend, you may have overheard a mention of Global Dub Festival's return to Red Rocks. If you didn't, then, well, guess you're hearing it here first. Mark your calendars: On Friday, May 17, Global Dub Fest returns to the rocks. While the full lineup is still to be announced, we can tell you that Excision and Zomboy are on the bill and you can expect the return of Flux Pavilion. Keep an eye on Backbeat for updates, which we'll post as we get them. In the meantime, tickets go on sale Saturday, January 19.
