Let’s get a preview of the summer concert season now with a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, Steve Knopper. He’s based in Denver. In addition to the usual classic rock bands, the summer line-up includes a lot artists in the electronic dance music genre, like Avicii. He’s one of more than a dozen electronic artists headlining shows at Red Rocks this summer alone, along with names like Skrillex, Bassnectar and Kaskade. Steve Knopper gave CPR’s Zachary Barr a little electronic dance music 101.
