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.

The Red Rocks concert calendar 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.  What to Wear to Red Rocks Concert  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.
