Headliners, who organizers say will reflect the diversity of Colorado’s taste in music, will be announced on March 20.

Grandoozy has been in the works for four years and is a collaboration of Superfly, Visit Denver and David Ehrlich of the Denver Theatre District, who will serve as an executive producer of the event.

Superfly announced that its Denver music festival will take place September 14, 15 and 16, 2018, at the Overland Park Golf Course. The event’s name? Grandoozy.

The “Colorado-centric” festival is a major project for Superfly, which brands itself as a “creative experience company.”

The three-day festival will bring a mix of international musicians to three stages set up around the quiet golf park. Colorado artists, chefs and bands will be highlighted at the event.

The company describes the south Denver neighborhood, adjacent to the Platte River, as “Denver’s backyard.”
