Red Rocks Amp

Red Rocks Amphitheatre sits in the sandstone formations west of Denver, in Morrison, and it's one of the most striking outdoor venues in the country. The natural rock walls flanking the stage give every show here a huge, open sound, and the sightlines from the stone steps make even the back rows feel close to the action.

Touring acts across rock, electronic, indie, and jam bands treat a Red Rocks date as a career highlight, so the booking tends to skew toward bigger names and sold out crowds. It gets cold once the sun drops behind the rocks, even in summer, so bring a layer. Parking lots fill early and the walk in involves stairs, so give yourself extra time.
