Just announced: Pretty Lights at Red Rocks for back-to-back shows on Friday, August 17, and Saturday, August 18. Hold on to your flat-bills, dance-music aficionados: Colorado will catch the final stops on an international trek that will take Pretty Lights (born Derek Vincent Smith) all over the globe, from Santiago, Chile, to Antwerp, Belgium, before returning to Morrison.

A special fan pre-sale is slated for Thursday, March 29, at 10 a.m.. Tickets go on sale otherwise to the general public on Saturday, March 31, at 10 a.m. via TicketMaster. Don't sleep. Last year, tickets for Pretty Lights at the Rocks dried up like water in the desert.
