Red Rocks Amphitheatre Outdoor Music Venues

There�s a reason Red Rocks is considered one of the most beautiful music venues in the country. Bright red sandstone rocks jut out from either side of the stage to create a natural amphitheater, and concert goers are treated to views of downtown Denver and the surrounding foothills. Start with tailgating in the dusty parking lots, then head up the stairs�oh so many stairs�for pitch-perfect music under the stars. This is Colorado at its best: casual, authentic, and outdoorsy.

What to Wear to Red Rocks Concert  kicks off in early spring and runs through late fall, featuring everything from country music to the Colorado Symphony. The venue�s eclectic lineup is also accompanied by �Film on the Rocks,� weekly screenings of popular movies that begin at dusk.A steep pitch and impressive views mean that there�s hardly a bad seat at Red Rocks, although windy nights can diminish the sound quality up top. Large TV screens and clear sightlines make the stage visible to all, and it�s easy to stash bags and coats under the long rows of bench seats. Space gets tight in the general admission sections as people jockey for a spot, but none of that matters once everyone stands up to dance. Come dressed for the weather; shows are held rain or shine.
