We’ve made it to the last month of the year and what a year it’s been. In 2017, the Denver music scene saw over 3,500 concerts. In 2018, that number jumped to over 6,000. That’s right — over 6,000 concerts happened within the Mile High City in 2018 alone. It’s no secret that Denver is growing, and it’s nice to see that the city’s music industry is following the trend. This month, there are over 600 Denver concerts for you to choose from. Send 2018 off the right way by getting out there and exploring.
Week 1: December 1 – December 9
Recommended: Childish Gambino w/ Vince Staples @ The Pepsi Center – December 4
To kick things off this month, hip-hop giant Childish Gambino is coming to Denver to take over The Pepsi Center on December 4. Gambino initially announced his tour back in April only to announce that the tour wasn’t happening weeks later, followed by another announcement that said it was indeed happening. After another postponement, the show is finally on the horizon this week. Fellow rap star Vince Staples is joining Gambino on this highly coveted show. Tickets are still available for this show and we recommend you go for it.

Recommended: Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats w/ The Texas Gentlemen @ The Ogden Theatre – December 19
Local breakout talent Nathaniel Rateliff and his band, the Night Sweats, are gearing up for their two day annual holiday run at The Ogden Theatre on December 19 and 20. In the past, Rateliff has consistently sold out Red Rocks which means this show is a chance to see him in a more intimate setting. On December 19, fellow artists known as The Texas Gentlemen are joining Rateliff. If you can find a way to snag some tickets to either one of these shows, we recommend you take advantage of it.
