Deadmau5 brought his seminal electronic tunes to Red Rocks with opening acts JAUZ, Good Times Ahead and Volaris on November 3 and 4. He began the show without his infamous “mau5head” helmet for the first three songs before donning his DÃa de los Muertos-inspired mask for the rest of the night.
The two-night run at Red Rocks, which he dubs “Day of the Deadmau5,” is an annual tradition for the EDM artist, who got his start in the late ’90s.
Take a look at photos from his day-one set below:
Opener JAUZ dropped his remix of deadmau5 song “Ghosts ‘n Stuff.”

“There’s some mainstays, some thematic things I do with the universe,†Zimmerman told us ahead of the show.
