We’ve got a whole list of some truly amazing shows coming up in the Denver Metro this week—here are the highlights!
The vibes will be high at Red Rocks this Thursday, as Dispatch is coming to town in support of their latest album Yellow Jacket. To compliment the incredible show Dispatch is guaranteed to put, they’ll also have John Butler, Donavon Frankenreiter and Illiterate Light rolling up to the Rocks to make sure it’s a special event all evening long.
Club Vinyl’s bringing back Space Jam for yet another bangin’ event on 8/9. Monty Kiddo is the star on the decks this time around, and he’ll be joined by Julian Abarm and a special B2B set featuring Blake Bair and Space Jam’s fearless leader Owie to get that party started properly. This is the way to be spending your Saturday night!
We’re all about to be graced by a pair of proper legends in just a few days, as Erykah Badu has come to town and she’s brought The Alchemist along with her. They’ll be taking over the Ogden Theatre on 8/11 as they celebrate the release of their brand-new collaborative album Abi & Alan. Getting a pair of genuine talents like this under the same roof is a rare occasion, so don’t skip out on this one.
The rest of this week’s shows are below! As always, stay in the know about Denver’s music scene with yours truly here at 303 Magazine.
