Cypress Hill closes Haunted Rocks with full band at Red Rocks

Cypress Hill ended the Haunted Rocks concert at Red Rocks on Thursday, Oct. 29, with a set that anchored the night's closing hours.

The group performed tracks including “Lowrider,” “Tequila Sunrise,” and “Hits From the Bong.” Their performance marked the final segment of a six-artist lineup that had occupied the stage throughout the evening.

The bill featured Method Man and Redman, De La Soul, Digable Planets, Hieroglyphics, and The Pharcyde. Each act brought distinct regional and stylistic elements to the lineup. The Pharcyde opened with songs like “Drop” and “Runnin’,” while Digable Planets followed with selections such as “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat).”

Hieroglyphics represented the Oakland scene with songs including “Oakland Blackouts.” De La Soul performed “Potholes in My Lawn” and “Me Myself and I.” The group’s set acknowledged the late Dave Jolicoeur, known as Trugoy the Dove, a founding member of the trio.

Method Man and Redman played a gritty set that included “Bring the Pain” and “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By.” Their performance served as a counterbalance to the smoother grooves of the earlier acts.

Beyond the main stage, Redman participated in a daytime event at a local dispensary in Morrison. He promoted his latest beverage venture alongside The Pharcyde. Fans gathered at the dispensary to meet the artists before the concert began.

De La Soul brought out Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch for a surprise performance of “Simon Says.” The guest appearances added an extra layer to the set, drawing strong reactions from the audience.

The event, called Haunted Rocks, brought together artists whose catalogs span decades of hip-hop history. The lineup included groups known for jazz-influenced beats, East Coast lyricism, and West Coast funk. The musical range covered a wide spectrum of the genre’s development.

The concert concluded with Cypress Hill’s final numbers. The group’s performance closed out the evening, leaving the stage empty after a full day of musical activity and promotional events in the area.
