As a famous singer from a very famous band once said:
Here’s some highlights as we start off this warm and wonderful month!
The powerhouse pairing of ProbCause and Chrishira have come together to form VIBELINE, and they’re bringing their friends High Step Society, Soul.Method and Butl3R to Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on 5/4. Having come together working with famed Denver favorite GRiZ for his live sets, this debut show is guaranteed to be a wild time.
Nu-metal monsters Alien Ant Farm are bringing their fiery and energetic live show to the Marquis Theater on 5/1! Come and get your headbang on, as they’re sure to keep the party going from the minute they hit the stage.
5/2—Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit have returned to Colorado this week, playing at the Mission Ballroom on 5/2 as a warmup for their Red Rocks show on 5/3. Amanda Shires will be opening up both evenings. This much songwriting talent in one venue isn’t to be missed.
