St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. Luckily this holiday falls on a Saturday, which gives us plenty of time to party before, during and after the big day without having to call into work the next morning. With over 60 concerts falling on the unofficial “drink as much beer as possible” holiday, there are plenty of places to catch people not wearing green and drunkenly pinch them throughout the night. Here is a list of all the shows you can catch this weekend and our recommendations for each day.

Friday, March 16
Recommended: Magic Beans w/ Analog Son, Wabakinoset @ Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom
Kick the weekend off with a lucky start by serenading your ears with The Magic Bean’s jams at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom. The night is packed with Colorado natives. The Magic Beans, Analog Son and Wabakinoset are some of the best local acts Colorado has to offer. The super-jam of a night will get your body ready for the big day tomorrow without completely draining your energy for the rest of the weekend. Just hold off on the Bailey’s and Irish whiskey until tomorrow.
