It is definitely safe to say, that a vast majority of us haven’t really been to any major public gatherings for some time… for obvious reasons. But with vaccines now readily available and caseloads dropping all over the United States… the world is gradually starting to reopen and bring live events and conventions and gatherings back into the forefront of our minds and lives and for proof… just look at what your city is doing when it comes to their regular comic conventions and by way of the announcements that are starting to come forth… such as the one that came about earlier today. For it was just announced that Lake Street Dive is coming to Red Rocks Amphitheater on Sunday May 8, 2022.
​
Which really does speak to a return to normalcy, but it should be noted that there is more to this announcement beyond Lake Street Dive gracing Denver with their talented presence. For their concert will also serve as the centerpiece event to SeriesFest 8. Which is a convention that celebrates television, that will kick off shortly after the concert with in-person events. Reinforcing the fact that life about to quickly return to the days of old, and that folks in Colorado are in for one heck of a musical treat and well… here are all the details on this show and some details on SeriesFest 8, alongside information on how and when to get tickets to this epic concert… courtesy of SeriesFest.
