Zeds Dead’s Backyard Jamboree Returns for Its Fifth Year, Kicking off July 4th in Denver

As Zeds Dead prepares for Deadrocks XI, taking place at Red Rocks Amphitheatre today (July 2nd) and tomorrow (July 3rd), the Canadian duo is also bringing back one of the summer’s most beloved celebrations: the 5th Annual Backyard Jamboree, returning to Denver’s Civic Center Park on July 4th.

Now in its fifth year, the Backyard Jamboree has grown from a fan appreciation BBQ into a 10,000-person, community-focused music festival. Blending all-day performances, local vendors, and classic lawn games, it’s become a defining feature of Independence Day weekend in Colorado – welcoming fans of all ages to celebrate with food, fun, and unmatched vibes in the heart of the city. 

The 2025 performance lineup features a powerhouse roster of fan-favorites and rising talent, including Ravenscoon, Cool Customer, Villager, Nikita, The Wicked, Skellytn, Don Jamal, Noises, Soki, Keenan Mathias, and Papajay.

This year’s Jamboree follows the release of Zeds Dead’s first album in nearly a decade,
Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness – a psychedelic concept record currently fueling a nationwide headline tour and 55-minute visual companion film. With the new album as a backdrop and Deadrocks XI already sold out, the July 4th Jamboree stands as the final chapter in a three-day takeover of Colorado.

Event Highlights:

• Live music all day
• First artists announced: Ravenscoon and Cool Customer
• Deadbeats’ legendary hot dog eating contest — one of the largest west of the Mississippi
• Backyard activities: dunk tanks, 3-legged races, donut-on-a-string, inflatable games, and more
• Vendor village featuring food trucks, crafts, and local creators
• Family-friendly environment with games and installations
• Interactive brand activations and community engagement zones

Don’t miss out on the fun this 4th of July. Celebrate with the boys. Tickets for the Backyard Jamboree are still available here.
