This Week In Concerts – Ariana Grande, The Motet, Streetlight Manifesto and More

It’s hard to believe that by the end of this week, we will be nearly half-way through the month of July. We hope summer is treating you well so far as we venture into the second week of Denver concerts in July. As usual, you can expect nothing less than the crazy hustle and bustle from the Denver music scene. For the next seven days, you have the chance to see shows every single night, which is pretty special if you ask us.

Monday, July 8

To kick off this week in Denver concerts, The Mavericks and Los Lobos are teaming up to take over the Denver Botanic Gardens. The Mavericks are known for hits such as “Dance The Night Away” while Los Lobos are known for “Cancion del Mariachi.” If you’re looking for a great way to spend a Monday night, this will be the show to catch. Tickets are still available, so act now before it’s too late.
