Denver’s music scene rivals such cities as Los Angeles and New York, in terms of opportunities to catch live music. Coming from out of town, the sheer number of concerts is undoubtedly overwhelming, so to simplify things, we've compiled a list of the must-see Denver shows. Many of these are exclusive to the region.
The ever understated legend that is Bryan Adams is set to reprise his famed discography of ‘80s and ‘90s rock hits. Fans of the rock star need not worry if he’s still got it — the easy answer is he’s got it and then some to spare.
Along with special guest Mavis Staples & Friends, the special holiday shows celebrate the tenth anniversary of their beloved, breakout 2015 self-titled debut album, "Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats." The vinyl reissue contains an additional album’s worth of never-before-heard demo recordings, offering a glimpse at the feverish weeks of inspiration that uncovered a new form of creative expression.
It's a hip-hop and soul extravaganza for the annual concert's 20th anniversary! The only winter concert at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre features a hip-hop-heavy lineup: BigXthaPlug, Smino, Mick Jenkins and PawPaw Rod. You'll quickly forget about the cold.
Cardi B has finally returned to the spotlight with her long-awaited sophomore project, "Am I the Drama?," her first record in seven years. The Little Miss Drama Tour, as it has been dubbed, is her first major solo outing aside from the occasional festival performance since 2019. Not only that, but the “WAP” singer secured her second number-one album and made history as the only female rapper to have her first two albums debut at the top of the charts. At this rate, don’t call it a comeback, call it a victory lap.
Soul-pop phenom Raye has built a formidable following after departing from her dancefloor topline roots and embracing ‘40s nostalgia and updating it with modern flair and prose. That creative pivot ensured a Best New Artist Grammy nomination and groundbreaking performances at BST Hyde Park as well as Coachella. Gearing up for a new album, her first since her breakthrough record, "My 21st Century Blues," the stakes are high for Raye, but her ambitions seem to be even higher.
The nine-piece K-pop outfit, Twice, continues their world domination, expanding their wildly successful This Is For World Tour that included a well-publicized headline performance at this year’s Lollapalooza. As with most K-pop concerts, expect a sensory overload of harmonies, large-scale choreographed dance routines, and of course, the over-the-top production. It’s not often that Denver even gets K-pop shows of this caliber, so this is certainly not one or two to sleep on.
The heartwarming return of Lewis Capaldi is upon us. After his devastating diagnosis of Tourette syndrome and the increased pressure of maintaining his ability to perform, taking a mental and physical toll on the artist, it was uncertain when and whether Capaldi would be able to resume his life as a touring artist. Fortunately, it seems as though Capaldi has gotten to a place in his mental and physical health where he’s ready to return to the limelight, with two consecutive Red Rocks performances lined up and a slew of other high-profile performances around the world. For Capaldi, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the world is rooting for the “Someone You Loved” singer.
"It's Not That Deep" or is it? That’s the question at the center of Demi Lovato’s new album and foray into high-octane dance pop. The ever-talented “Cool For The Summer” singer has genre-hopped in recent years, from balladry to hard rock anthems, and now the dance floor beckons with fresh air atop the boom of EDM culture. Watch out, because Demi’s got her groove back.
Pop-country megastar Morgan Wallen heads to two (no doubt) sold-out nights at Empower Field following the wildfire success of his newest album, "I’m The Problem." At this point, whether you're a fan of the often controversial singer or not, Wallen has a knack for creating massive cultural waves with his juggernaut music releases, massive concerts and large personality. That’s all to say, his "I’m Still The Problem Tour" will only be a problem if you’re not able to get tickets — good luck.
The king of loops is back in town on the Fourth of July for the aptly titled Loop Tour. Taking center stage for his impressive one-man stadium-filling loop extravaganza, Ed Sheeran brings his newest album, "Play," and his prior mathematics-themed albums to life in only the way he can. Tried and true, and always evolving, Ed Sheeran has become somewhat of a young legacy experience. There's no one else like him.
Call us thunderstruck with the announcement that the legendary AC/DC is coming to Empower Field at Mile High in 2026. The legendary rock outfit is set to continue their "Power Up Tour," which began in 2025, through stadiums across the U.S. With a band of their caliber and the race against time and age, this very well could be the last time Denver gets a chance to see the “Hells Bells” group in their current form. That said, there’s no better reason to take the "Highway to Hell" straight to Empower Field come July next year.
It wasn't too long ago that Zach Bryan was stepping back from touring to pursue other things in life. And now, he's going big with a major global tour. Lucky for you, he'll be playing not one but two dates in Denver at a venue that can barely contain the rising country star.
The emo revival shows no signs of slowing down, and My Chemical Romance’s upcoming stadium tour is proof. The pivotal goth band reemerged in 2019 to roaring excitement that has led the “Black Parade” rockers to be bigger than they’ve ever been, leveling up from arena headliners to stadium giants. With their sights set on Coors Field, smack dab in the middle of downtown Denver, it's safe to say that come August, My Chemical Romance will paint the town black.
