After much anticipation, the wait is almost over. Today, AEG’s newest state-of-the-art venue, Mission Ballroom has announced its opening date and inaugural lineup. The brand new venue is slated to open its doors August 7, 2019, with a maiden voyage of a performance from Denver-based The Lumineers. In addition to The Lumineers, Trey Anastasio will perform August 9 and 10, and Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals will co-headline alongside Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue on August 12, with plenty more acts to be announced in the coming weeks.
The state-of-the-art Mission Ballroom, which was announced nearly a year ago, will be 60,000 square feet upon completion and bolster a flexible capacity ranging between 2,200 and 3,950 people. Offering obstruction free sight lines from every vantage point as well as tiered rows and a moveable stage, it’s safe to say that there isn’t another venue in Denver like it. The forthcoming venue is a welcome addition to AEG’s already illustrious list of venues, that include the Ogden Theatre, The Bluebird Theatre, The Gothic Theatre, Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, 1STBank Center and the majority of shows at Red Rock Amphitheatre.
