Big List of Denver Live Music & Concert Venues [Updated for 2022]
Lots of people ask me where to see concerts around Denver, and I always ask a few questions. What style of music do you like? Do you like bigger venues or more intimate settings? Do you care what the bathroom looks like? We are lucky that the Mile High City has a ton of everything. Below is a comprehensive list of Denver metro (and Boulder) concert venues with their addresses, music style, capacity, and website link. Fort Collins also has an amazing live music scene, but to list all their venues would be an entirely separate post.
Obviously, I attend concerts at some of these venues more often than others. My absolute favorites (of course) include the historic Red Rocks and Bluebird Theater (which few people know was formerly a porn theater). I also love attending (and photographing) shows at Globe Hall, The Gothic, Larimer Lounge, Levitt, Lost Lake, Mission, Ogden, and the Summit. That’s not to say I don’t like the other venues, just that we all have our faves. Also, if you look at the addresses, it’s pretty clear that Denver has two solid music areas – East Colfax (now referred to as the Bluebird District) and South Broadway. Again, we’re damn lucky.
Take a look at my concert calendar and make some plans. Hope to see you out at a show soon!
