Someone go wake up Green Day because September is coming to an end. The weather is getting colder, the leaves are changing colors and the Denver concert industry is business as usual. The end of September marks the beginning of the end for the Red Rocks 2017 concert series. Take this week to check out some smaller venues around Denver while still trying to squeeze in as many Red Rocks shows as you can. Check out our playlist here or below for all of our recommended acts of the week.

Monday, September 25

Recommended: Glass Animals w/ Amber Mark @ The Ogden Theatre

Glass Animals are coming back to Denver on Monday for an intimate performance at The Odgen Theatre. The English indie-rock group recently headlined Red Rocks back in July and are returning with pop artist Amber Mark. Glass Animals know how to groove down the bone and Mark’s music will be a great addition to the evening. Be on the lookout for any tickets that may become available for this show.

Recommended: Fleet Foxes w/ Beach House @ Red Rocks

The acoustic folk-rockers of Fleet Foxes are headed up to Morrison on Wednesday. The Seattle-based group is in the midst of a world tour in celebration of their 2017 release of Crack-Up. Earlier this summer, former band member Josh Tillman (aka Father John Misty) performed on the rocks which makes the Fleet Foxes’ performance more anticipated. Opening for Fleet Foxes is the electro-indie group Beach House, making this a diverse night of laid back music. If you can try to find some tickets to this sold-out show, we suggest you take them.

Sunday, October 1

Recommended: Sugar Candy Mountain @ Larimer Lounge

The Oakland soft-rock band Sugar Candy Mountain is headed to Denver to not only end the week but also kick off the month of October at The Larimer Lounge. The band’s own bio speaks for itself — “If Brian Wilson had dropped acid on the beach in Brazil and decided to record an album with Os Mutantes and The Flaming Lips, it would sound like this- all psychedelic pop Wall-of Sound and beach balladry.” If that doesn’t convince you to check this band out, we don’t know what will.
