Here we go…

Ben Folds @ Paramount Theatre (Denver, CO)

Ben Folds, best known for his smash radio hit “Brick” under the full-band moniker Ben Folds Five, will be playing Denver’s Paramount Theatre with an accompaniment by the string ensemble, yMusic.

This will truly be an experience for all in attendance, as yMusic bring a whole new dynamic to Folds’ soft, inconsolable heartache. Emotions are sure to run wild when his tender ballads receive a stirring boost, so be sure to pack some kleenex for this one.

Doors: 7pm

Tickets can be found here.

Baroness @ Black Sheep (Colorado Springs, CO)

With four full-length records under their belt, including 2015’s Purple, Baroness return to Colorado Springs’ Black Sheep to show off the heavy metal riff-age they’ve become quite known for.

Baroness hails from Savannah, Georgia, and has quietly become one of the highlights that metal currently has to offer; their newest record peaking at #1 on the US Indie charts and #5 on the overall US Rock charts.

Baroness will be accompanied by Youth Code.

Doors: 7pm

Tickets can be found here.

 

The Used @ The Ogden Theatre (Denver, CO)

15 years later and The Used are still lighting up venues across the country.

Since their debut self-titled album, The Used have helped pave the way for the post-hardcore / emo genre, as their first two releases still remain cornerstones for the genre’s upbringing.

The Used and their sophomore smash success, In Love And Death, which featured songs like “I Caught Fire” and “All That I’ve Got,” will be on full display this weekend as The Used take over The Ogden for a two-night event, playing both records from front-to-back.

There’s a chance an event like this one will never happen again for a band like The Used, so get your tickets while (and if) you still can.

Show times: 8pm each night.

Night 1: Tickets can be found here.

Night 2: Tickets can be found here.

Paul Simon @ Bellco Theatre (Denver, CO)

Simon & Garfunkel have released some of the biggest hits known to the music industry; “The Sound Of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

This time, performing as just one half of the duo, Paul Simon returns to Denver to perform at the Bellco Theatre, but with his own book of hits which include “Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard” and “You Can Call Me Al.”

This is one for all of you classic rockers out there.

Doors: 7pm

Tickets can be found here.

Tech N9ne @ The Fillmore Auditorium (Denver, CO)

Tech N9ne will be joined Krizz Kaliko, Rittz, Mayday!, Stevie Stone and Ces Cru.
