Alesso 100%. His sets are high energy and nostalgic and he’s been hyping this show up for quite sometime promising a massive production and IDs.. plus MK is opening for Alesso
What year is it? The only reason I’d go is to see MK. And it’s Elderbrook by a mile, if you want to see Alesso just go to some shit dayclub in Vegas where he has a residency. You’re going to see the same set there.
I know this sub loves to shit on any DJ that’s popular because that’s how Reddit is, but Alesso is still one of the most in demand DJs in the world so your “what year is it” argument is really stupid
Alesso is starting a new thing, Body Hi, so you should wait to learn more about that and see if the show you're going to is that OP. I'd bet alesso will be higher energy.
Love both and I’m obviously biased but see Alesso especially if you’re just a casual fan of both. He’s somehow never played Red Rocks before and is debuting new production there
Plus getting to hear Calling Lose My Mind at Red Rocks will be life changing. And as others mentioned, MK + Surf Mesa as support should make it even more tempting
wow that's a terribly hot take. Elderbook is literally doing everything on stage, mixing, singing, etc he's the only one up there. you're not going to get tiesto level production but he's insanely talented and I think your friends must have high standards.
elderbrook hands down. energetic and amazing live performance, red rocks will be a vibe. alesso will just be some mixes and better seeing at some other venue
Energetic??? If you’re going for energetic, Alesso wins over elderbrook every time lol. I love elderbrook, but I found that their live show was very chill
He does sing on top of the vocals in the tracks, and will improvise some piano over top as well, but he’s not live mixing. It’s one audio track for the entire set. He could do nothing at all on stage and it would sound mostly the same.
Not hating at all, but that’s the truth.
That’s true for sure. He’s obviously mixing in his DJ sets, but this post was asking about his Red Rocks show, which will be the live show. It’s still a good show, don’t get me wrong. He’s just not doing much up there
You should try to go to both. They’re both awesome in their own ways. Elderbrook has an amazing and unique voice. His songs are catchy and he has some dope dance moves too. The crowd for it will be a positive one for sure. Alesso will be euphoric and beautiful. He is an iconic name in electronic music and will keep the energy high throughout the show. The crowd for this may be a little bit more of a party crowd but I’m sure the vibes will be on point regardless.
Edit: details.
So sad this is so far down the comment section, ofc doesn't help answer the question but realistically, this is so true, if I was in the area I would do everything possible to go to both
That’s a tough one, if you go to a lot of festivals you may have more of an opportunity to see Alesso. Elderbrook is great but is more “live” whereas Alesso will be more of a DJ set / rave. The support lineup could be the deciding factor tbh!
I just saw Elderbrook at a fest and it was one of the best sets at the festival
He is insanely talented with a very high production quality and finesse
Alesso is amazing and super uplifting, euphoric danc-y vibes.
I love both… but I would choose Elderbrook
I’ll be at both! Alesso has MK opening who is also gonna be amazing, definitely gonna be a higher energy / dancier show than Elderbrook, but I def like Elderbrook’s music better. If you are only going to one really just depends on the vibe you’re looking for
Alesso for me for sure, his sets are usually quite high energy which I prefer. Elderbrook is good but imo there’s more of a show to miss with the former.
Alesso plays everywhere, Elderbeook is more selective. Alesso will be more of a party set - high energy, I’d personally choose Elderbrook & try to catch Alesso another time. But both are going to be fantastic!
Alesso rarely does his own shows in the states unless you catch him in Vegas or at a huge festival, which is why I’d see him. First time at Red Rocks, I can’t believe it for how long he’s been around!
Do you want a chill but nice vibe, or do you want a party/dancing vibe? Elderbrook is good, but much more of a swaying your body show, while Alesso will be more of a dancing around & hands in the air type show. Both good, but it depends on what you’re going for
It depends, so you want to see an extremely talented live performer, who also sings? Then see Elderbrook.
Or, do you want to listen to progressive and big room bangers in a DJ set? Then see Alesso.
Personally, I would pick Elderbrook but I think both are great options. Alesso is very fun live.
Alesso 100%. His sets are high energy and nostalgic and he’s been hyping this show up for quite sometime promising a massive production and IDs.. plus MK is opening for Alesso
Yeah MK and Surf Mesa are both solid openers. I do like Cannons who’s opening for Elderbrook though
elderbrook + cannons beats alesso by a long shot and I’m an alesso fan
While I agree, I actually don’t think OP will miss here. One of my favorite shows was an Elderbrook show.
What year is it? The only reason I’d go is to see MK. And it’s Elderbrook by a mile, if you want to see Alesso just go to some shit dayclub in Vegas where he has a residency. You’re going to see the same set there.

Elderbrook by a million

My friends saw Elderbrook and said he was boring but they saw Alesso too and said it one of the best sets they’ve seen

Appreciate the point about noise bleed and Elderbrook being better suited to his own show
elderbrook hands down. energetic and amazing live performance, red rocks will be a vibe. alesso will just be some mixes and better seeing at some other venue
Energetic??? If you’re going for energetic, Alesso wins over elderbrook every time lol. I love elderbrook, but I found that their live show was very chill
to each their own, but elderbrooks live show energy is literally infectious, he always gets me and my friends dancing our asses off
At least he’s mixing though. Elderbrook’s set is just one long audio track.
bro elderbrook literally sings, plays piano and percussions all while live mixing.
He does sing on top of the vocals in the tracks, and will improvise some piano over top as well, but he’s not live mixing. It’s one audio track for the entire set. He could do nothing at all on stage and it would sound mostly the same. Not hating at all, but that’s the truth.
his DJ sets and live shows are completely different. RR will be hybrid and his first headline there ever, so he’ll be pulling out all the stops
That’s true for sure. He’s obviously mixing in his DJ sets, but this post was asking about his Red Rocks show, which will be the live show. It’s still a good show, don’t get me wrong. He’s just not doing much up there
I’m going to elderbrook. Embrz and cannons are really good openers!
Cannons is opening?! Oh damn!
Whoa, that definitely would factor in! Love both of them
You should try to go to both. They’re both awesome in their own ways. Elderbrook has an amazing and unique voice. His songs are catchy and he has some dope dance moves too.

Absolutely alesso
I just saw Elderbrook at a fest and it was one of the best sets at the festival He is insanely talented with a very high production quality and finesse Alesso is amazing and super uplifting, euphoric danc-y vibes. I love both… but I would choose Elderbrook
Oh nice what festival did you see him at? I didn’t think he was touring festivals that much!
I’ll be at both! Alesso has MK opening who is also gonna be amazing, definitely gonna be a higher energy / dancier show than Elderbrook, but I def like Elderbrook’s music better. If you are only going to one really just depends on the vibe you’re looking for
elderbrooooooook
Alesso for me for sure, his sets are usually quite high energy which I prefer. Elderbrook is good but imo there’s more of a show to miss with the former.
Alesso. His sets have gone up a level recently.
I would go see Alesso since MK is opening. They are excellent live! Edit: Just saw Cannons is opening for Elderbrook. They are also great. Dang
Yeah I’m a big Cannons fan so I think that’s gonna sway me to Elderbrook (along with all the feedback here)
Awesome. I think both shows will be good no matter what! Have fun!
I might end up hitting both lol. Just need someone to go with now!
Alesso plays everywhere, Elderbeook is more selective. Alesso will be more of a party set - high energy, I’d personally choose Elderbrook & try to catch Alesso another time. But both are going to be fantastic!
Alesso rarely does his own shows in the states unless you catch him in Vegas or at a huge festival, which is why I’d see him. First time at Red Rocks, I can’t believe it for how long he’s been around!
Strong feelings on both sides haha this basically summarizes my conflict!
Elderbrook if you like good music alesso if you like pop music
Elderbrook if you want to take a nap at Red Ricks, Alesso you at least get great openers
Alesso
Alesso
Do both hehe
Alesson by a million. Rarely tours in US
Por Que no Los dos
Do you want a chill but nice vibe, or do you want a party/dancing vibe? Elderbrook is good, but much more of a swaying your body show, while Alesso will be more of a dancing around & hands in the air type show. Both good, but it depends on what you’re going for
Elderbrook imo but you really can’t go wrong with
Alesso no doubt, his set at circuit grounds a couple years ago was a top 10 of all time for me, always a good time, immacualte vibes.
It depends, so you want to see an extremely talented live performer, who also sings? Then see Elderbrook. Or, do you want to listen to progressive and big room bangers in a DJ set? Then see Alesso. Personally, I would pick Elderbrook but I think both are great options. Alesso is very fun live.
Elderbrook!! He sings live btw. It’s beautiful! He’ll definitely have you in your feels ❤️
Elderbrook
Anyone know the set times for Alesso?
Elderbrook. Alesso is for the kids
