This week in concerts, The Underground Music Showcase finally arrives. Tickets for that, sadly, are all gone, but in case you missed out, there’s plenty of other live shows to catch this week, including, Nathaniel Rateliff for a three-night stop at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Megadeth and Lamb of God shake up the stage at the Ball Arena for some serious guitar-shredding. Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre welcomes ZZ Top for some classic rock and Mt. Joy stops by Mission Ballroom. Check out a smaller venue like Herman’s Hideaway for Slick Rick or Your Mom’s House to celebrate and watch women in bass music with artists like Solfire, Tesla Nikole and more. Be sure to stay up to date for all your local shows with 303 Magazine.
