This Week In Concerts – Foo Fighters, Jessie J, Tech N9ne and More

As we move into the second week of October, you can expect nothing less than the usual hustle and bustle of the Denver music scene. This week in Denver concerts includes local talent, national up-and-coming bands, brunch sets, dinner sets and so much more. There is an event happening every single day of the week, which means you have plenty of chances to hear some great music in the Mile High City.

Monday, October 8

Primus is kicking things off on Monday as they finish up a two-night headlining spot at The Ogden. Some of you might remember Primus for their 2006 hit “John The Fisherman” or their 1993 release of “My Name Is Mud.” Whether you’ve followed them since 1990, or are just now getting into them, you have the chance to see Primus in action as they take over The Ogden with fellow band Crown Lands this Monday.
