Over the years, Day of the deadmau5 has become one of deadmau5’s best-known annual events, and 2026 adds a family edition in Colorado. After two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 30–31, deadmau5 will play Bounce Empire in Lafayette on November 1. The indoor amusement park spans 50,000 square feet and has more than 50 attractions. It also features a 360° hydraulic concert stage and a 67-foot transparent LED screen. Every ticket includes a full-day Bounce Pass, allowing families to explore the park before the 6:30 PM DJ set. The all-ages show gives Day of the deadmau5 a new family-focused edition for its 2026 weekend.

Inside the Day of the deadmau5 Family Experience

With every ticket doubling as a Bounce Pass, families can spend November 1 exploring Bounce Empire before the evening show. Large inflatables, slides and other indoor activities are among the park’s 50-plus attractions. That gives attendees several hours inside the venue before deadmau5 performs later in the day.

Once the DJ set begins, deadmau5 will perform on the park’s 360° hydraulic concert stage, backed by its 67-foot transparent LED screen. Visuals will follow the Día de los Muertos theme tied to Day of the deadmau5. The setup keeps the annual concept at the center while adapting the event for an all-ages crowd.

Before the evening show, guests will need to complete a waiver for entry to Bounce Empire. Park visitors without an event ticket will leave by 5:30 PM, ahead of doors opening at 6:00 PM. deadmau5 then begins the DJ set at 6:30 PM.

For those planning to attend, general admission is currently listed at $110, with prices expected to rise as availability drops. VIP costs $175 and includes a meet-and-greet with deadmau5 and an autograph. Bites and non-alcoholic drinks are included as well.

A New Setting for Day of the deadmau5

Following the two Red Rocks Amphitheatre dates, the celebration continues in Lafayette for a third consecutive day. The November 1 show gives families their own way to take part in Day of the deadmau5. Parents and children can use the attractions during the day before staying for the DJ set that evening.

That family focus also connects closely with the date itself, since November 1 falls on Día de los Angelitos. The day traditionally remembers children who have died as part of the wider Día de los Muertos observance. Together with the themed visuals, it gives the family edition more meaning within the annual Day of the deadmau5 concept.

After two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, ending the weekend at Bounce Empire gives the Colorado run a very different final chapter. Full-day park access, the all-ages DJ set and the venue’s concert setup all come together on November 1. For families, it offers a rare way to experience Day of the deadmau5 through both the music and the venue itself.
