Seeing a show at Red Rocks is an experience like no other. With a stage cradled by two awe-inspiring monoliths of sandstone, the often described religious experience of live music is taken to a whole other level when surrounded by nature. Bands and fans alike dream of a moment like this, often so as to make a tradition out of it. Blues Traveler’s over 20-year tradition of playing on the 4th of July has led to more and more Red Rocks summer traditions, with Widespread Panic, The Avett Brothers, Lord Huron and more making annual appearances that celebrate a homecoming that could only happen at Red Rocks. Those traditions continue in 2025 while also allowing breakout artists, Red Rocks Hall-of-Famers, the continued EDM upsurge, indie and pop icons and more to make new Red Rocks memories and traditions that will be remembered for decades to come.

May 14: Rilo Kiley – Having officially broken up back in 2014, the reunion of Rilo Kiley is the millennial dream come true. We can’t wait to welcome Jenny Lewis and crew back with arms outstretched.
