| 1 | Kali Uchis – May 26th – Red Rocks Auditorium
Just a few days after graduation, the Columbian-American reggaeton-R&B singer takes the stage at Red Rocks, a venue perfect for her dreamy music and airy delivery. If you’re looking for a romantic date night, or are just a fan of soft soul, get your tickets now and head on down to the Amphitheater before she sells out! |
| 2 | The Last Dinner Party – June 2nd – Mission Ballroom
This fun and industrial venue, known for playing slightly more alternative artists, will host London-based all-female rock group The Last Dinner Party at the beginning of Pride month! Known for their indie rock hits and dramatic, stadium sound, this band is sure to put on a maximalist-punk performance not to be missed. |
| 3 | Lord Huron – June 10th/11th – Red Rocks and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater
Calling all folk-loving hippies and outdoor enthusiasts! Lord Huron, renowned for their viral hits and ethereal harmonies, will perform for two nights this summer in the most beautiful, outdoorsy venues in Colorado. I can’t imagine a more perfect soundtrack for the folk-rock fans in their indie summer. |
| 4 | Zeds Dead – July 2nd/3rd – Red Rocks
Welcome back to Red Rocks, ravers! This July, the legendary Zeds Dead will turn the Amphitheater into a house scene for hip-hop, techno, and bass fans alike, backdropped by their viral visuals and throwback samples. If you’re a music buff looking for a colorful and high-energy way to spend your night, don’t miss Zeds Dead! |
| 5 | The Strokes – July 23rd – Red Rocks
One of my favorite bands hits the Rocks in late July this year, bringing with them their melodic guitar wizardry and ‘70s inspired post-punk feel. This alternative 2000s band is well-known for their effortlessly cool sound and garage-rock feel, and you can be sure to catch me at their concert this summer! |
| 6 | Olivia Dean – July 25th/26th – Ball Arena
The Best New Artist winner makes a stop in Denver this summer on the tour of her highly danceable and feel-good album, The Art of Loving. Dean’s warm, soulful voice and heartfelt pop hits are sure to transform Ball Arena into a groovy, retro-inspired dance hall, if only for two nights! Tickets are already running low, so get yours now! |
| 7 | Sombr (w King Princess) – July 26th/27th – Red Rocks
Maladaptive daydreamers, yearners, and pop girlies unite! The 6-foot-7 singer takes the stage at Red Rocks for two nights of bedroom pop beats and raw, moody vocals drawing every Gen Z in a hundred-mile radius. Be sure to catch Sombr this summer if you haven’t seen him already–who needs Coachella when you have Red Rocks? |
| 8 | Zach Bryan – August 13th/14th – Empower Field
After two incredibly successful, nearly sold-out tours through Denver in 2023 and 2024, Zach Bryan returns to Colorado for two nights of authentic country and Americana folk. Known for his storytelling, songwriting, and viral hits such as “Pink Skies” and “Something in the Orange,” this show is sure to be a must-see for all country music fans. |
| 9 | Mt. Joy – August 13th/14th/15th – Red Rocks and Fiddler’s Green Amphitheater
Maybe you’re a folk-rock rather than country fan and are opting out of the previous concert… or maybe you love both and want back-to-back shows! Mt. Joy, the rootsy indie band inspired by ‘60s psychedelic rock, is coming to Denver for three nights of jam-band acoustics and all-around good vibes. What better way to end your summer and kick off the school year? |
