First 3 shows of 2026 announced for Colorado Springs’ 8,000-person venue with mountain view

With 2026 right around the corner, many of Colorado’s venues are starting to announce their schedules for next year – including 66 shows already on the calendar for Red Rocks. Located in a different metro area, however, is Ford Amphitheater, standing tall on the northern side of Colorado Springs.

With a seating capacity of about 8,000, this venue features a pavilion, fire pits, and lawn seating, as well as a west-facing mountain view that’s perfect for sunsets. Soon to enter its second full season of operations, it’s no surprise that Ford is starting to attract some big acts.

Thus far, three shows have been announced for 2026, but keep in mind that more shows are likely on the way.

Here’s a breakdown of who’s set to perform at Colorado Springs’ Ford Amphitheater in 2026:

June 18: O.A.R.: Three Decades Tour; with Gavin DeGraw and Phantom Planet

August 14: Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas; with Theo Lawrence

September 5: Brantley Gilbert: The Tattoos Tour

As noted, more shows should start popping up soon. Find the full event calendar with the most up-to-date information here.
