Photos: Goose closes out three nights at Red Rocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Goose closed out a sold-out, three-night stand at Red Rocks on Tuesday, Sept. 1, and the quartet treated the final show like a victory lap. Rick Mitarotonda and Peter Anspach traded off guitar and keys with loose, telepathic chemistry — the same chemistry that turned Goose from a Connecticut basement band into a Red Rocks headliner within just a few years. Underneath it all, Trevor Weekz and Cotter Ellis kept the grooves propulsive. After three nights of steadily building momentum, the stage fel
Photos: Carlos Santana gets sentimental at Red Rocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carlos Santana brought his Oneness Tour to Red Rocks on Monday, Aug. 24, capping a third and final stand at the venue this year with the kind of guitar-driven communion that only Red Rocks seems to bring together. Decades into his career, his tone is still instantly recognizable, cutting through the Colorado night as it has since Woodstock. The set moved fluidly between Latin-rock classics that built his legend and newer material, proving the catalog still has the teeth for a live performance. F
Photos: J. Cole brings the Fall Off tour to a sold-out Ball Arena (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a difference between a farewell show and a coronation. Last night at Ball Arena felt like the latter. J. Cole took the stage alone in downtown Denver on Friday, Aug. 21. No opener, no gimmicks — just the Fall Off era speaking for itself. He first teased his latest (and final) record of the same name eight years ago on 2018’s “KOD,” and the crowd acted is if the big wait was finally over. Ultimately, two hours in, it was clear this wasn’t a rapper closing a chapter. Instead, it was an art
Noah Kahan fills Coors Field with 50,000 backup singers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Noah Kahan kicked off his sold-out two-night stand at Coors Field on Saturday, Aug. 8, and the ballpark turned into one massive communal singalong from the opening act. Annabelle Dinda opened the night with her poetic, folk-leaning songwriting, warming up the crowd before Gigi Perez took over with the aching, viral hit “Sailor Song” and other cuts from her debut album, “At the Beach, in Every Life.” Kahan then led the stadium through a mix of “Stick Season” era staples and material from his new
Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire turn Ball Arena into one big dance floor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire brought the Sing a Song All Night Long Tour back to Ball Arena on Friday, July 31, for their second Denver stop since 2023, and the crowd was ready to go all night long. Earth, Wind & Fire opened with founders Verdine White and Philip Bailey, a graduate of Denver East High School, still leading the charge through horn-driven staples like “Shining Star,” “Fantasy” and “Boogie Wonderland.” Richie followed with a career-spanning set pulling from his Commodores d
