High Desert Experience
So it is with heavy heart that we have to move Monolith on the Mesa again! Our decision has not been made lightly! Our local government is still holding to 33% of the max captivity which leaves us with no room to make this happen. Furthermore there are not enough bands touring to create an experience we would like, as well as Taos Mesa Brewing is still rebuilding “The Mothership” from the fire last year which has set them to open late fall and we have all agreed. It is just a little premature to try and have a festival of “Monolithic” proportions.The second installment will take place September 16-17-18 2022. Mark your calendars! We have all reservations set and we feel that by that time next year we will be able to throw the kind of rager that we like and that it will be way closer to “normal”, what ever that will look like in the near future. All tickets and VIP packages will still be good and all Ticket holders will still get 2 years for holding strong. We will be releasing information on the new line up soon. We have some big plans so save the party bank to break it open at next September’s Monolith in the Mesa II!! Thanks for your support! We are gunna rage in 2022!!
