This is Meow Wolf's second Vortex in Denver after moving the music festival here from Taos last year, and the music festival's second night at the JunkYard on Saturday, August 26, was capped off with headliners GRiZ and BLOND:ISH, who both gave fans a night to remember (or not, depending on substance choice).
