Burque Rock City Fest is set for August 4-5, 2023 in Albuquerque, NM, via Monolith on the Mesa.

The two dates festival (full lineup and schedule below) includes Weekeager, Pike vs. The Automaton, Fatso Jetson, Red Mesa, Abrams, and more.

Monolith on the Mesa co-founder Dano Sanchez passed away in 2021. In a statement, festival co-founder Roman Barham says:

The Monolith On The Mesa crew would love to thank everyone who helped make Monolith 2022 awesome, including a special thanks to the Taos Mesa Brewery crew and the Hotel Luna Mystica crew. As well as to all the very respectful patrons that came out and made Monolith On The Mesa an amazing tribute to our fallen brother Dano. We have decided to take a year off, but plan to bring it back to to Taos Mesa Brewery in 2024. We hope in the meantime we’ll see many familiar faces at Burque Rock City in August.

Tickets are available here.
