MUSIC EVENTS

Read: Denver Is Turning Up the Volume This Halloween Weekend

deadmau5

When: Oct 30, 7:00 p.m. Where: Red Rocks Amphitheatre – 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, Morrison Cost: $80+ The Lowdown: 

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.

Matroda, Biscits, Willbeaux and Housewife

When: Oct 30, 8:30 p.m. Where: Mission Ballroom – 4242 Wynkoop St., Denver Cost: $30+ The Lowdown: 

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.

itchy-O’s Hallowmass

When: Oct 31, 7:00 p.m. Where: Summit – 1902 Blake St., Denver Cost: $105+ The Lowdown: 

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. Stampede Singers, a Lakota drum group, opens both nights. 

Julia Jacklin and Jordan Patterson

When: Oct 31, 9:00 p.m. Where: Gothic Theatre – 3263 S. Broadway, Englewood Cost: $43+ The Lowdown: 

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.

Mon Laferte and Silvana Estrada

When: Nov 1, 8:00 p.m. Where: Paramount Theatre – 1621 Glenarm Place, Denver Cost: $80+ The Lowdown: 

Two distinctive voices make the Paramount a Sunday destination. Mon Laferte’s theatrical delivery and stylistic range pair with Silvana Estrada’s intimate, expressive songwriting for a bill that deserves your full attention.

Nightmare on Larimer Street

Show up in costume, grab a spot on the patio, and enjoy what might be the best people-watching on Larimer all year.
