Catch a show at the historic amphitheatre but don’t forget about the awesome Denver concerts at smaller local venues as well — all of which are full speed ahead for some summertime live music. Check out what’s going on for concerts this week in the Mile High and start marking your calendars.
Monday, July 10
Recommended: Carlos Santana @ Red Rocks
For over 40 years, Santana has been progressing music in ways that nobody has ever been able to predict. On Monday, July 10 see the legendary group continue to push the limits at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Recently, most of the group that played at Woodstock and toured together during that time joined back together to release more music and keep the train rolling. Together, they created an album, released in 2016 called Santana IV.

On Tuesday, July 11 Beck will be gracing the Red Rocks Amphitheatre stage along with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Beck recently released a cover of the classic Elvis Presley song, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” which excellently portrays his softer side. There have been rumors floating around for a while that Beck will have a large project coming out relatively soon, so there is a good chance of some exciting songs at this show.
