Dew Tour

CONCERTS

The Dew Tour Mountain Championships includes music on and off the hill, reflecting the expansion of the Dew Tour’s music platform throughout 2012. Hip-hop artists Macklemore & Ryan Lewis headline the weekend with a live show at the Riverwalk Center in downtown Breckenridge on Saturday, Dec. 15. Known for their unique beats, candid lyricism, and catchy choruses, Macklemore and his producer Ryan Lewis hit the Dew Tour on the heels of releasing their album The Heist, which topped iTunes’ Albums chart and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. After two sold-out national tours in 2011 and a combined 60 million views on YouTube, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have proven their ability to excite crowds with their energetic live performances.

Music will also be featured on the mountain with DJ duo Two Fresh spinning a set during Saturday’s Snowboard Big Air contest under the lights, creating a true outdoor party atmosphere for the fans with the music and competition coming together at Breckenridge’s Peak 8.
