PHOTOS: Red Rocks sees attendance all time highs, Australia’s King Gizzard plays to sold out show

Red Rocks could likely be on pace to shatter another attendance record in 2023 after an estimated 1.54 million attended ticketed events at Red Rocks in 2022. That’s up 31.8 percent from 2021, according to Ginger White Brunetti, executive director of Denver Arts & Venues, which manages the iconic amphitheater in Morrison.

After a string of sold out performances in 2023, Red Rocks could very well beat last year's attendance record of an estimated 1.54 million. 2022 saw a 31.8 percent increase from 2021, according to Ginger White Brunetti, former executive director of Denver Arts & Venues, which manages the iconic amphitheater in Morrison. A recent study showed Red Rocks’ concerts generated $717 million for the region’s economy in 2022.
