Red Rocks offers packed summer concert lineup
You haven’t seen a concert until you’ve seen one at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison.
Not much compares to perching on a concrete and wood seat, surrounded by monolithic, 300-foot sandstone walls, and watching your favorite musicians perform, all while taking in the gorgeous Colorado plains behind them. You wouldn’t be called hyperbolic for using the word breathtaking.
Almost every night for the next several months, the venue will percolate with music from all genres — jam band, hip-hop, rock, bluegrass, singer-songwriter, electronic, rap, country — and some comedy too.
Here are a few highlights:
May 15-16: Dermot Kennedy — The Irish singer-songwriter is best known for his 2019 single “Outnumbered,” off his debut album “Without Fear.”
