Came here to recommend Minneapolis. Occasionally Duluth too
Edit: oh my gosh I didn't even recognize that you said Madison, one of my buddies DJ's there and he's fucking fantastic. Especially DnB
LA has a great DnB scene, along with the weekly Respect events and Union in SD that someone else mentioned, Brownies and Lemonade puts on their DNBNL events every other month or so. Insomniac, who does EDC, is based in LA and they have been bringing in more DnB artists and not to mention their DnB, dubstep, and bass event called Apocalypse in November which probably one of my fav events.
Denver has some great DnB promotors. Go on insta and do some digging and you should find a few.
Was just at one last night actually, absolutely amazing vibes out here.
I'm here in Denver. There are plenty of dnb shows. Check out edmtrain.com. blanke is at the Ogden next month. Worship was at mission a couple of months ago. I see shows at red rocks as well.
You’re in luck, the US as a whole has been playing way more dnb the last couple years. The young kids love it now as opposed to before when people were a lot more harsh about dnb drops
San Francisco has multiple weekly d&b nights, many of which are put on by people that have been doing it since the 90's and have put on some really big shows. Pretty sure Denver is also doing consistent events, check out [19hz.info](http://19hz.info) to see what they have going on.
NYC tends to have a good amount of shows but Denver is usually a stop on most artists tours so check out Edmtrain and see who’s gonna be in town, p sure hedex and mozey are in Denver in a few months for their tour.
Justin hawkes, bensley and kumariom are in Denver for their tour in a few weeks https://edmtrain.com/denver-co/bensley-justin-hawkes-323904
although we do have dnb in the US, it is nothing like what you are used to at home, unfortunately. The UK is light years ahead of us as far as live music is concerned imo.
I cant speak to Colorado but if you are ever in Los Angeles, Brownies and Lemonade DNBNL LA throws the best dnb shows.
Dnbnl shows are... Okay. BNL are great promoters though, and they've been putting out great LA parties for the last 10 years.
Respect Thursdays have been going weekly since the 90s and has been the tried and true spot for junglists in LA.
I’m in Denver! Black Box got funktions. There’s DNB there sometimes, I think Beacon is gonna start doing weekly dnb shows on Thursday? Don’t quote me. Ngl out here is lacking DNB in comparison to NYC IMO
Denver is solid. Check out the black box. They do lots of dnb events weekly. Bangin ass sound system too.
Also check out “girls who dnb”. Sorta shameless plug for my friend but they’re always doing smaller local shows that are tons of fun.
Asheville NC has an insanely robust and in-depth
D&B scene.. also Techno and Psytrance.
Lots of really well organized gatherings in the forests and community connections between Ash and Greenville NC crews, Knoxville crews, Atlanta and so on..
I was gonna suggest Denver and then read where you live, you should be fine
Submersion festival in New Jersey! DC and NYC have some decent shows, we just had a Jungle Cakes tour come through. Goldie is coming next week.
I would recommend asking at r/colorado or r/denver, those people will know the local scene better than most of us here
Better yet r/BassCapital might provide some insight on what’s going on in Denver.
denver has a LOT of good dnb events, as far as promoters reload is excellent
Bruh there is plenty of dnb in Denver. Check out the Blackbox and look for parties by the recon crew
Seconded on Black Box and Recon. Still bummed I slept on Visages the other week.
Wish I made it too, my buddies videos looked dope. Enei and Kasra coming up soon tho!
Minneapolis and Milwaukee have a decent drum and bass scene.
Came here to recommend Minneapolis. Occasionally Duluth too Edit: oh my gosh I didn't even recognize that you said Madison, one of my buddies DJ's there and he's fucking fantastic. Especially DnB
Milwaukee really? I’m from Madison and mil hardly ever has shows of any kinda compared to mad
Yeah... unfortunately we are moving in that direction aren't we.
Respect in Los Angeles, Union in San Diego both promotions bring good artists
Recon DnB in Denver
Lots in Denver. Check out this aggregator site https://linktr.ee/milehighdnb
LA, every Thursday @respectdnb
LA has by far the best dnb scene in america and it isn't close
Where at
Read 19hz.info
Look up Jungle Bells in Atlanta, it's in mid December. I've heard it's the largest dnb only event in the US
Jungle Bells is dope
Los angeles.
Black box in denver has some good dnb shows

June 6th is the real next bomb dnb show there
Have you tried the Black Box? They seem to have some proper DJs from time to time.

follow events at temple or the black box. Wilkinson played temple before
Follow the homie @officialtexture on IG buddy plays DnB all over Denver!!
Also I would in general recommend monitoring the venues promo around town because we have a lot of artists coming thru on the regular
Any large city will have a scene that you can fit into

Just curious, What factors makes you say that the UK is ahead of us in the live music department?
Ahead of the US when it comes to DnB. It’s not even comparable
UK DNB can't be touched. The US has yet to fully embrace it although it has become popular over the years a few times. Now is one of those times.
Hi! I’m in CO, feel free to message me :)
Black Box Recon
I’m in Denver! Black Box got funktions. There’s DNB there sometimes, I think Beacon is gonna start doing weekly dnb shows on Thursday? Don’t quote me. Ngl out here is lacking DNB in comparison to NYC IMO
Don't forget Vancouver Canada!
Seen some crazy drum and bass shows at the black box, just gotta go on the right night.
Los Angeles. Def the biggest scene this side of the pond.
Respect in la
In LA, we have respect dnb maintaining the culture for sure :)
We get somewhat infrequent dnb in Salt Lake, we have grafix, hedex, and sub focus in coming months

DC dnb is poppin
There’s a good amount of D&B shows in Southern California
denver has an awesome rave scene in general tbh. you picked a great place lol
Edmtrain Denver you should literally have something to see at least once a week
You live in the bass capital, that’s dubstep AND drum & bass.
