From deadmau5 at Red Rocks and itchy-O’s Hallowmass to Teddy Swims and Mon Laferte, here’s your concert guide for October 30–November 1, 2026.
Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, giving Denver a full weekend to make some noise. Red Rocks has back-to-back deadmau5 dates, itchy-O brings Hallowmass to Summit, and the city’s clubs and theaters offer plenty of reasons to take your costume out for another spin.
The music doesn’t stop when October does. Sunday brings Teddy Swims to Ball Arena, Mon Laferte and Silvana Estrada to the Paramount, and Orville Peck to Mission Ballroom. Between those bigger nights out, there’s bluegrass, heavy psych-rock, bachata and smaller-room discoveries across Denver, Morrison, Englewood, Aurora and Boulder.
Whether you’re planning around Halloween night or stretching the celebration into Sunday, here’s where to catch live music this weekend.

Friday, October 30
deadmau5 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Start Halloween weekend between the rocks. deadmau5’s progressive electronic sound makes room for patient builds, winding melodies and the kind of release that rewards settling into a full set. The Friday bill also lists VOWWS, Josh Freese, Danny Lohner and PENULTIMATE, giving this outdoor outing a suitably dark edge. Bring a warm layer for the Morrison evening.
Where: Red Rocks Amphitheatre – 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, Morrison, CO 80465
Tickets and event information: HERE
King Buffalo and L.A. Witch at Bluebird Theater
For a Halloween warm-up built on fuzz and atmosphere, head to the Bluebird. King Buffalo’s heavy psychedelic rock favors hypnotic repetition, spacious passages and riffs that gradually take over the room. L.A. Witch adds a shadowy garage-rock counterpart. It’s a strong Friday choice for anyone whose ideal October soundtrack comes with amplifiers rather than a DJ booth.
Where: Bluebird Theater – 3317 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80206
Tickets and event information: HERE
Matroda, Biscits, Willbeaux and Housewife at Mission Ballroom
If Friday’s plan begins and ends on the dance floor, Matroda belongs on the list. The Croatian producer’s bass-heavy house sound supplies a different kind of Halloween momentum: punchy grooves, clipped vocals and plenty of low end. Biscits, Willbeaux and Housewife round out a bill that gives house fans a reason to arrive early and stay moving.
Where: Mission Ballroom – 4242 Wynkoop St., Denver, CO 80216

Saturday, October 31
itchy-O’s Hallowmass at Summit
For a Halloween experience rooted in Denver’s own creative community, make time for Hallowmass. itchy-O’s 2026 presentation, Mayat Ōm: Brief Creatures, combines its large-scale musical performance with an environment centered on memory, grief and celebration.

Julia Jacklin and Jordan Patterson at Gothic Theatre
Halloween doesn’t have to mean maximum volume. Julia Jacklin’s emotionally direct songwriting and unhurried delivery offer a different way to spend the night: listening closely, letting a lyric land, and hearing a room fall quiet around a voice. Jordan Patterson opens the Englewood date. Put this one on the itinerary if your favorite kind of intensity comes from a song rather than a drop.
Where: Gothic Theatre – 3263 S. Broadway, Englewood, CO 80113

Sunday, November 1
Teddy Swims at Ball Arena
Save some voice for Sunday. Teddy Swims brings The UGLY Tour to Ball Arena, where his blend of soul, R&B and pop has room to stretch into a full arena singalong.
