HAVE A GOOD TRIP Benefit Show Will Celebrate MAPS and Psychedelic Medicine

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies announced Good Trip Studios and AEG Presents Rocky Mountains are hosting Have a Good Trip, a benefit show for MAPS at the Mission Ballroom in Denver on June 22. This once-in-a-lifetime event will feature performances by comics ERIC ANDRE and Reggie Watts, followed by a full set of music by psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips. The experience will also include Fascinated By Everything's Psychedelic Mixtape Live by DJ Chris Holmes, and other special guests curated by the team behind the #1 Netflix documentary "Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics."

The event is open to the public but will take place during Psychedelic Science 2023, the breakthrough psychedelic conference hosted by MAPS.
