Metal’s favorite K-Pop crossover, Babymetal, brings their sweet and severe songs to Ball Arena for the first time. The forthcoming performance follows last year’s unfortunate cancellation at The Junkyard. This time, however, the show is bigger and more brash than ever — a proper celebration of their latest record, "Metal Forth."
GRiZ is back from his hiatus and hotter than ever, and he has plans for a return to Red Rocks, which is nothing short of a pinch-me moment for all bass fans, but especially those in Colorado. For those unaware, GRiZ may be the most popular artist locally, whose career was built piece by piece from venue to venue across Denver. At one point, he swore off returning to the monolithic venue. However, the tide has changed, and his return marks a new era for the prolific artist. With only two return dates in his home city on the docket and demand off the charts, these shows will be as monumental as they come.
Maná, the legendary Mexican rock outfit, is slated to bring it back to the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre for two consecutive nights following last year’s successful outing. The “Oye Mi Amor” and “Rayando el Sol” band are cross-generational icons, and naturally, if you were lucky enough to be raised under their spell, Red Rocks will be the place to be once again this September.
Phish returns to Dick's Sporting Goods Park for three nights over Labor Day weekend. As part of their Summer Tour ’26, the iconic jam band will bring their free-flowing, anything-can-happen live show to the soccer stadium in Commerce City.
The psychedelic pop of Tame Impala has finally hit the mainstream. Logging his first Billboard Top Ten Hit, the following years building a genre-defining sound and fervent fanbase have paid off with a near-worldwide sell-out of their forthcoming arena tour. Indie darlings to chart toppers couldn’t have been farther from the imagination ten years ago, but the reality is nothing short of exhilarating. Fans can rejoice in being able to experience the full Tame Impala experience in all its technicolor glory like never before — no intermission needed.
Here’s one for the freaks out there. Acid Bath and Ministry join forces for a heavy metal and industrial throwback of a night, harkening back to the dirty DIY venues and underground shows that defined a generation of alt-rock fans. While Red Rocks is as far from the underground as one could be, that doesn’t mean that the venue won’t get down and dirty for this special occasion. That said, get ready to get rough and rowdy.
Role Model isn’t just anybody. Tucker Pillsbury, aka Role Model, has found his footing, ascending to the top of the indie-pop pyramid, with no shortage of wooing girls following him there amid years of grinding. His breakout hit, the country-tinged “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out,” spilled over into the mainstream, ushering in viral moment after viral moment, sending his career straight to Mars — or Red Rocks, same thing.
The resurgence of Lily Allen couldn’t have been more unpredictable. Returning with her first album in 7 years, based vividly on her divorce and marital issues with David Harbour, no one could have expected the cultural moment that would ensue and inevitably bring Lily Allen’s name back into everyone’s mouth. The album, "West End Girl," was vulnerable and juicy — akin to the lore surrounding Beyoncé’s “Becky with the Good Hair,” setting the stage for Allen to perform the album in full on her current theatrical and immersive tour of the same name. Expect the tongue-in-cheek drama and hubris of Lily Allen in less-than-ideal circumstances, and certainly don’t forget the popcorn.
Sept. 18, 2026 – Polyphia @ The Junkyard
Instrumental metal outfit Polyphia have been blowing minds for more than ten years now, and with each release, they somehow manage to get more inventive, pushing their instruments to new frontiers. The first taste of their forthcoming record is no different, bringing metal, house music and even a little trap together in a combination so bonkers it has no right to sound as good as it does. Such is the dichotomy of Polyphia — they have no business defying the genre labels they do, but they pull it off, and the results are exhilarating.
Bluegrass phenom Billy Strings is back in town and he has plans to hang around. Over the course of three astonishing nights, one of which will take place at the Paramount Theatre in addition to two nights at Ball Arena, Billy Strings shows just how dedicated his enormous fanbase has become, as every single show stands to be sold out. Given his status as the leading improvisational jam musician, these shows are less of a concert and more of a prophesied pilgrimage for a truly one-of-one musician.
World-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli visits Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre for two nights. The milestone tour marks three decades since the release of “Romanza,” one of the best-selling classical albums of all time, in a venue famous for its powerful natural acoustics.
The breeze and funk of Jungle blow through Red Rocks for two nights in support of their forthcoming project, "Sunshine." If immaculate vibes are your thing, just imagine the sight of people simply grooving up to the highest stair of the iconic venue. If that sight alone doesn’t do it for you, put on “Back On 74,” close your eyes, and thank us later.
Hailing from Provo, Utah, the rock band has been kicking around since 2018. While we await a rumoured third studio album, see them at Red Rocks with breakthrough singles like "Kilby Girl."
