This Week In Concerts – American Nightmare, Echosmith, Super Whatevr, Neoma and More

Photography by Lauren Magin

It’s hard to believe that we are entering the last week of February 2020. Even though the month is coming to an end there are so over 100 Denver concerts left to check out this week. With that many shows, it can be confusing trying to figure out which shows you want to see. That’s why we’ve compiled calendars from over 40 venues across the Mile High City for you to use at your disposal. Whatever you decide to do this week, we hope this guide makes things easier.

Monday, February 24

DJ A-L

Where: Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox

The Lowdown: To kick things off this week, we’re taking you over to Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox where DJ A-L will be throwing down some jams on Monday night. If you’re into the Motown sound, this will be the event to check out this week as DJ A-L will be spinning the classics all night long. If you have yet to see a show at Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, we highly recommend checking it out. Oh, and did we mention this event is free?
