Thievery Corporation Brings Their Brand of Electronic Dance to Mission Ballroom
By Julie Orth
On October 21, 2023, Thievery Corporation performed at Mission Ballroom in Denver. Mission Ballroom has a capacity of 3,950 and is owned and operated by AEG Presents. Thievery Corporation has been dazzling audiences for 25 years with their music spanning over a dozen albums. Their electronic dance style, led by Eric Hilton and Rob Garza, respectfully incorporates tastes of international cultural styles, without ever falling into the trap of cultural appropriation. “We always wondered: with so much incredible music in the world, why would anyone limit themselves to one genre?,” said Hilton. “Well, we found out – it’s far easier to stay in one lane than to genre hop.”
The crowd at the Mission Ballroom came ready to dance. DJ Shadow opened the show and was able to get the crowd to do just that. Fans were anxious for Thievery Corporation to hit the stage as their last Denver show was cancelled due to blizzard conditions two years ago.
Some spectators opined they had been listening to this band for years and they sounded better than ever. The spacious venue allowed for plenty of space to dance. Thievery Corporation’s tour continues in December. For more information and for tour dates, visit www.thieverycorporation.com.
