Levitt Denver - Free Concerts Lineup 2023

Levitt Denver Announces First Round of 2023 Concerts

One of my favorite venues in Denver, Levitt Pavilion, has been dropping concert announcements here and there as we edge towards Spring but today we have the first round of their free shows – and 2023 will go off with a BANG. Legendary funk rock fusion band FISHBONE will play the first free show (yes, FREE) on Saturday, May 6th. Those who know my husband Bryan probably understand this is one of his all-time favorite bands – so please be gentle with him in the pit during this show.

Levitt’s 6th year will see the non-profit continue to champion discovery and diversity while showcasing a world-class line-up of international, national and local artists. Since its inception, Bryan and I have been “Ruby Members,” which means we get a tax deduction for our donation, VIP access to free shows, some free beers, and lots of hugs from the folks at Levitt.

Levitt Denver hosts 50 free concerts a year, so this is only the first round of concert announcements. Be sure to check back for more and join us at the shows. They have a relaxed and open lawn setting, local food trucks, a state-of-the-art Meyer Panther sound system, and an easily accessible location in Ruby Hill Park near public transportation and bike paths.

Levitt Pavilion Denver also partners with local promoters like Live Nation and AEG who host admission-based events on nights when free concerts are not scheduled. These ticketed shows help support the free shows throughout the season and, personally, I love how they bring people in to discover how great Levitt really is.

As I mentioned, some of these shows have been announced over the past month or so, and the lineup is already rock-solid. I have tickets to three of them!

We believe that music has the power to unite us all, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to the lawn for another incredible summer of free concerts.”
