When the main event ends, the afters begin.. again
On March 14th, we’re taking over Denver for an exclusive 1,000-person after party that runs until the sun comes up. Expect a lineup packed with special guests, B2B sets, and a headliner so super we can’t even say the name — yet.
The room will be locked in by a full PK Sound system — the kind of rig that doesn’t just play music, it physically relocates your internal organs. Stadium seating surrounds the floor for those who want to watch the master class from above, but trust us: you’ll want to be in it.
1,000 tickets. No exceptions. No overflow. This is the after party Denver will be talking about long after the lights come on.
