Twenty One Pilots @ Red Rocks
Tickets: Sold Out
Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Twenty One Pilots kicked into gear this past year and truly made a name for themselves in the art world. They will be playing at Red Rocks with Echosmith and Finish Ticket, and the performance will be high-energy and musical, as all groups focus on being instrumentalists first and performers second. And just because it is sold out, doesn’t mean you can’t find a way to see this rock alternative and hip-hop infused duo.
