Revelers

 

We know you've been patiently waiting for us to announce High Ground 2023. We've strived since we started this journey to create more than a music experience. We wanted to create 'The Most Beautiful Music Festival' - not only visually, but with chill, vibey, live-performed variations of our favorite electronic and indie acts, and a positive community that celebrates Colorado's beautiful environment, well-being, & lifestyle. You helped us realize that vision. We're staggered by the love and interconnectedness you've brought to High Ground. Each year, you've left our team, security, police, and community as a whole stunned by your wonderfulness.

 

High Ground is not built by a staff of hundreds, or a large corporation. It is built by us, Noah Levinson and Jobi Halper, by hand, with a small staff of the most dedicated, talented people we can find. To make sure High Ground continues to flourish and grow in a sustainable way, we must take a short pause this year on High Ground '23.

 

We are sad to say this, but know it is the best decision for the long-term benefit of the festival and all that you expect from us (and what we expect from ourselves). Several factors have contributed to our decision. We want to be sure to offer the best experience to our revelers, which means we must consider expanding our infrastructure and the amenities we provide to you. We also wish to scale up our overall experience, from musical talent to visual arts and everything in between. These things come at a great cost at a time when we know that music lovers are struggling in a more challenging financial environment. We have had our own challenges this year as well. Noah, our Festival Director and Talent Buyer, suffered a serious back injury and surgery during the most critical time to curate High Ground. Noah also performs his own music as Spirit Motel, and has seen wonderful growth this year, with performances around the country and new music on the horizon. We want to be sure our focus is all-in when we return to the Denver Polo Club to bring you High Ground.

 

In the meantime, we are working on some really special offshoot experiences in Denver to keep the vibes rolling. We will be sure to update you for each and every special High Ground Presents experience that we bring to the community. With that, we must postpone High Ground Music Festival to 2024. This is not a goodbye; we truly can't wait to see you next year! #HG24
