Subtronics announces hiatus for “Cyclops Rocks” after 2026 Red Rocks takeover, confirming that his iconic Colorado showcase will pause following next year’s highly anticipated edition. The announcement marks the end of an era—at least temporarily—for one of bass music’s most celebrated recurring live events.
The dubstep powerhouse shared the news via social media, revealing that “Cyclops Rocks VI” will be his “last for a while.” While the hiatus signals a pause on the Red Rocks tradition, Subtronics also hinted that new and unexpected projects for his Colorado fanbase are already in motion.
A Signature Red Rocks Tradition Comes to a Pause
Held at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Cyclops Rocks has become far more than a standard tour stop. Since its debut in 2021, the event has evolved into a defining moment of the spring bass music calendar.
That first edition carried historic weight, with Subtronics headlining Red Rocks’ first full-capacity show after pandemic restrictions were lifted. What started as a symbolic return to live music quickly grew into a multi-night spectacle known for heavyweight lineups and immersive production.
Cyclops Rocks VI: Dates and Lineups Revealed
The final edition before the hiatus will take place on April 23 and 24, 2026, delivering two nights of bass-driven intensity.
Night One will feature support from Hedex, Cyclops, Mythm, Gardella, and St. Mary.
Night Two ups the energy with performances by KOAN Sound, Effin, Dennett, Rohaan, and Klo.
Each night promises a distinct sonic journey, reinforcing why Cyclops Rocks has earned its reputation as a must-attend Red Rocks experience.
A Milestone Moment in a Career High
The timing of the hiatus follows one of the most successful periods of Subtronics’ career. In December, he released his acclaimed album FIBONACCI, which arrived shortly after a landmark six-night residency at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Adding to the momentum, Subtronics was recently recognized by EDM.com as one of 2025’s top music producers, cementing his status as a leading force in modern bass music.
What the Hiatus Means for Fans
While the pause may come as bittersweet news, Subtronics made it clear that Cyclops Rocks is not ending—only evolving. His message suggests a strategic step back to make room for new concepts, creative expansion, and future experiences that extend beyond the familiar Red Rocks format.
For fans, Cyclops Rocks VI now carries even greater significance, standing as a celebratory send-off before the next chapter unfolds.
Ticket Information
Fans can register for pre-sale access to Cyclops Rocks 2026 starting January 15, with tickets expected to move quickly given the announcement of the hiatus.
As anticipation builds, April 2026 is shaping up to be a defining moment—both a farewell and a celebration of everything Cyclops Rocks has come to represent.
