Levitt Pavilion Denver has announced the first wave of free concerts for the 2025 season. This year beginning in May, the nonprofit outdoor venue welcomes debut headliners Luciane Dom, Jeremy Zucker and Andy Frasco & the UN, and sees the return of venue favorites like DeVotchKa, Low Cut Connie, Flobots, Rebirth Brass Band and others. With a lineup spanning bluegrass, hip hop, jazz, Mariachi, opera and more, there’s something for everyone in the 2025 season, with additional concerts to be announced in the coming weeks.

Other highlights include the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra performing the live score and screening of Wallace & Gromit shorts, a drag extravaganza from Central City Opera called Drag Me to the Opera, and the second collaboration with The University of Denver’s student programming board to present multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker.

“Our collaborative, eclectic approach to programming reflects our mission to build community through music,” said Meghan McNamara, Executive Director of Levitt Denver, “We want to ensure that everyone has access to the joy and connection of live music in the outdoors — and we want everyone, regardless of age, income, ability, identity or lived experiences to find belonging at Levitt.”

Today’s announcement is the first of Levitt’s 2025 free concert season. Beginning in late May and extending into October, the venue will present more than 40 free concerts and community events, and welcome audiences to the open lawn setting and newly-named Wana Brands Foundation dance floor.

This season, Levitt continues meaningful partnerships with community organizations and leaders to co-create programs on its stage. 2025 highlights include Viva Southwest Mariachi Fest featuring the return of Lupita Infante and presented in partnership with Latino Cultural Arts Center; the 9th Annual Colorado Dashiki Fest with Afrobeat icon Femi Kuti & The Positive Force headlining, in partnership with the Colorado African Innovation and Cultural Center; and a first-time collaboration with Girls Rock Denver where students will show off their camp musical creations before Esme Patterson takes the stage.

Additional free shows, ticketed events, Yoga on the Lawn dates and more surprises will be announced this spring. Along with an exciting slate of concerts, the 2025 season will feature the debut of new venue improvements and amenities to make this community gathering space even more accessible, beautiful and sustainable. Project components include the extension of the accessible walkway and additional ADA seating, the completion of synthetic turf throughout the lower bowl, the addition of two patio spaces and new lighting.
