Hippo Campus & Gus Dapperton at Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Hippo Campus recently completed an incredibly successful tour last year. The shows promoted the band’s third effort LP3. Due to public demand, the band has extended their outing to 2023 and announced 16 more shows. The tour will kick off at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in May and send the band and Gus Dapperton to major markets across North America.

Hippo Campus emerged in 2015 with the debut single, “Litte Grace.” The single is featured in the band’s debut EP, Tarzan Rejects, released in 2013. Hippo Campus music is a product of various influences stemming from members who’ve met at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Arts. The quintet has members with backgrounds in jazz and opera, while another plays the trumpet regularly. After their debut EP, the band continued to release mini albums and secure amazing gigs at events like SXSW, Lollapalooza, Milwaukee’s Summerfest, Rock the Garden in Minneapolis, and Leed and Reading Festivals in the U.K.

In 2017, Hippo Campus dropped its debut album, Landmark, receiving wide critical acclaim. The album spawned four singles, including “Boyish” and “Western Kids,” entered the Billboard 200 and peaked at number 15 on the Top Alternative Albums chart. The following year, the band dropped their sophomore effort, Bambi, with the lead single, “Passenger.” The tour to promote Bambi lasted from 2018 to 2019, including shows in Europe, North America, and Asia.
