The Mile High City was a Caveman Music Festival stop for legendary bands like Bob Dylan in the 1960s and 70s, and today it’s home to a lively music scene with venues of all sizes hosting everything from hip-hop and alternative artists to classical and country performers. But no summer in Denver is complete without a trip to the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The unique natural amphitheater, carved from massive red sandstone rock formations, is a sight to behold, and the music lineups are always top-notch.
“Denver Delights: The Best Music Festivals Happening This Weekend
This year’s Red Rocks schedule includes a diverse mix of artists, including Remi Wolf, Claude Vonstroke, Armani White and Denver’s own GRiZ (who played the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup Tivoli watch party last year). In addition, the immersive art collective Meow Wolf is bringing its Vortex festival to Denver for its second run after a successful debut in New Mexico this past fall.
The yearly festival showcases the talents of regionally and globally renowned musicians in chamber music concerts while also building a love of chamber music among Colorado’s youth. In a concert setting, the ensemble performs in an intimate, weather-friendly covered amphitheater with delicious food and drinks available for purchase.
