From Mersiv and Jade Cicada at Red Rocks to Medium Build, Shpongle and José Madero, here’s where to catch live music around Denver this weekend.
Denver’s dance floors are putting in overtime this weekend. October 23–25 brings bass music to Red Rocks, back-to-back electronic bills at Mission Ballroom and two nights of Shpongle at the Fillmore. But there’s plenty happening beyond the drops: Medium Build and Bella White bring heartfelt songwriting to the Gothic, Demon Hunter turns up the volume at the Oriental, and José Madero closes out Sunday at Summit.
Whether your plans involve an outdoor amphitheater or a small room with a new favorite band, here are three concerts to consider each day, followed by more shows around Denver and beyond.
Friday, October 23
Mersiv at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Start the weekend with bass that has room to breathe. Mersiv’s sound moves between atmospheric passages and heavy low-end impact, making Red Rocks a fitting setting for a Friday built around electronic music.
