Hilary Duff coming to Red Rocks in first global tour in nearly 20 years
DENVER — Summer concert season is just around the corner and the best venue in the country is busy adding shows to the 2026 calendar.
Hilary Duff, Jimmy Eat World, Alleycvt, and Cross Canadian Ragwed are among several artists who announced Red Rocks Amphitheatre concerts in the past week.
Construction is also underway at Red Rocks with crews working on two upgrades that will debut at the venue this year. A new, permanent merchandise stand and a new east-facing terrace are expected to be completed in the springtime as the concert season ramps up.
Hilary Duff announced “The Lucky Me Tour,” her first full-scale global concert headlining tour in almost two decades, will come to Red Rocks on Monday, July 20.
