Well, ladies and gentlemen, 2019 is coming to an end. Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen over 6000 concerts come through the Mile High City, which is up from 3500 in 2018. We’ve seen the rise of a new large scale music venue and the closure of a famous EDM club. It’s been a whirlwind of a year for the Denver music scene, and we can’t think of a better way to send 2019 off than with over 500 concerts to check out over December’s 31-day span. There’s a lot to celebrate this month, so from us to you – happy holiday season, Denver.
Week 1: December 2 – December 8
