This review is solely as someone who went to watch the sunrise at Red Rocks - which it seems like you can do any day of the week. It is free. I would recommend getting there about 45 minutes to an hour before sunrise, as parking and seating fills up fast. I had never been to Red Rocks before and now I get the hype. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful. A must do if you're in Denver! read more

Wow! ...This place is amazing!...we were dropped off by Uber... so you must walk up the hill to the top ... if you drive you can park much closer... They have shuttles in some areas to help .... & it's kind of a steep hill to the top... after the walk, they're stairs... and after that you need to climb rows to find your seat... But it was SO Worth It... amazing artist... The main reason we were here is to see Mercy Me...... & worshipping the Lord.... The Stars are out... Five different Christian's artists... What a wonderful experience... read more

Amazing acoustics Wide stairs in the sitting area so people can get by. At the corners every few steps people can lay out and watch picnic style. They let you bring a lot of stuff in. No middle isle down the bleachers. No signs to show your row - SUPER frustrating. You need binoculars and a flashlight and even then its a long search. Stairs stairs stairs. With a bad back. More railing is needed by the bleachers! And getting up there, the stairs are so many, you almost give up. Maybe in co you don't have to have handicap access? read more

Do you want a transformational music experience? Well, you have come to the right place. Having seen The Fray, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Strokes and many other acts here over the years I can say my ears are very happy. Even the hike from the lower lot and up to our seats is well worth it. You can find concessions but also bring your own water bottle to fill up. On the very top they have concessions now where once stood an empty platform to corral people to one side or another to lead them to their seats. Always a great experience and the vibes are always on the up and up! read more

I doubt I can add anything to the discussion other than this is a wonderful concert/entertainment venue, possibly the most interesting and nicest one I have ever visited. It was crazy hot all day in downtown Denver and then somewhat chilly at the amphitheater that same night. Incredibly, I found myself wanting a sweatshirt a few times so know that the weather can be quite fickle. Parking was a breeze. Inside the venue, the line for food and drinks was very reasonable. Unfortunately, the line for the "main" merch area, near the entrance, was ridiculously long. So if you want merch, get in line sooner rather than later. I doubt there is a bad seat in this place. We were seated about 35 rows from the stage and the view was excellent. Plus, smartly, it is all stadium seating with a highly angled slope so you shouldn't worry too much if a tall person sits in front of you. We heard exiting was a horror show but it really was not that bad. The venue cleared within about 10 minutes and we probably had to wait in our car another 15 minutes before finally getting out of the lot. Talk to me about waiting multiple hours to get out of the Rose Bowl parking lot, if you really want to hear about long waits. People (me included) come from all over the country (perhaps the world) to see shows here. Is the venue spectacular? It really is. Is the sound incredible? I probably can't judge it properly but it sounded great to me. Is it worth the trip? Yes. read more

As someone who was in the music industry for almost 30 years, I can't believe I've never seen a show at this iconic outdoor venue. I have heard and talked about Red Rocks for decades, but had never been. My wife and I were in Colorado visiting friends and saw online that one of my favorite female voices of all time, Sarah McLachlan was playing a show at the same time we were in the area. It was a no-brainer! I could potentially make this one of my longest reviews ever, but I'll try to keep it short by saying this venue was everything I wanted it to be and more. Parking was easy as there were people directing you from the bottom of the hill up to the venue the entire way. I recommend getting there early like we did, so you don't have to shuttle from one of the outer lots. We had a short and simple walk from our parking lot to the entrance. I also recommend bringing some sort of rain gear just in case because of the random storms that show up in that area. The good news is they're gone almost as quick as they arrive, which was the case for us. After about 30 minutes of rain, the sun came back out, and it turned into a perfect summer night in Colorado. As for the concert, I've never been to a place where the venue gets talked about almost just as much as the artist. Sarah McLachlan is always incredible (still amazing after all these years) but our group talked about Red Rocks almost just as much as her. The view is amazing, there really isn't a bad seat in the entire place, and the acoustics seem to be almost perfect. We actually really liked their food options as well. That said, I wish I would've done my homework because a lot of people have brought their own into the venue and that's something. We probably would've done as well. Check their website for details before you arrive. One last note, don't forget to stop by their visitor center. I'm so glad we didn't skip it because not only does it share the history of this incredible venue, but they also have an area where they list off by year every single artist who has ever played there from the beginning to now. That was super cool! Truthfully, my entire Red Rocks experience was perfect. People who live in the area know what I'm talking about and if you ever visit Colorado, do yourself a favor and cross this amazing place off your bucket list. By the way, concerts are amazing here but it's also open to the public during the day just to check out. So cool! read more

To celebrate this holiday I have selected the most incredible concert venue in the country to Yelp about. I had only dreamed for many years about seeing a concert here. Last year my husband surprised me and bought tickets to see my favorite band Incubus perform here in July. I could not believe it and was so very, very excited! We arrived a little early which gave us time to hike and explore the park portion and to learn more about the history of this place (another review). Upon arrival, we had made reservations to dine in their restaurant before the show. Promptly at six, we were let in. This place is massive and is an open air amphitheater that holds approximately 9,500 people. The city of Denver owns and operates it. It is well known due to the huge monolith rocks that surround it. They are called "Ship Rock" and "Creation Rock". In the upper level, there are plenty of vendors selling food, beer, merchandise etc. Once you begin the ascent down to your seats you see how big this place really is. We had terrific seats down low but high enough to still have a view of the city of Denver in the distance. The sound is so well preserved due to the surrounding sandstone formations. The concert was fantastic and I got to hear all my favorite songs. At one point in the show I had to pinch myself just knowing I had finally achieved the goal of seeing a concert here. We also were lucky enough to have a huge full moon come up during the show. The night was indeed magical and I will never forget it. If you haven't been here for a show/concert, I cannot recommend enough what a unique experience it is. You must do it! I am hoping to come back again in the future. To me America shines here with this amazing park and amphitheater. Thank you Colorado! read more

Loved every minute, from when we walked around to explore at about 5:30 ( we parked at the lower south lot 1), to standing in line to enter at 6 (saw a rainbow!), to walking to the top of the amphitheater to take in the view, to the concert: Opening band The Original Wailers, Bob Marley's band with the original guitarist , played all the classics and all 9,000 audience members sang along! Feature band :Michael Franti and Spearhead: what showmanship and charm! He had multiple participants come up on stage to sing and dance with him throughout the 2 hour concert, and spent as much time in the crowds on the first 3 levels as on stage. He played mostly newer songs last night and shared some stories about what inspired him to write some of them. The changing twilight to night sky with full moon was also captivating. The acoustics of Red Rocks is phenomenal! And they try to ensure that smokers stay off to the side and not in the sitting area (some scofflaws always rebel but mostly people abided by the rules). A night to remember! Highly recommend! We'll be back! read more

Wow, I love Red Rocks. I've been to two shows here, and can't wait for more. It's worth traveling for, and truly an unforgettable experience. I've sat both close and in General Admission and both were great experiences. Food and drink prices seem on par with other venues, and I have Ubered to and from the venue each time, so I can't speak about parking here. The backdrop is amazing, and I love being able to see the whole crowd, it's breathtaking. read more

It's one of the most beautiful venues and a bucket list item for so many. It's gorgeous to take visitors to for the sunrise. It's great for a workout and when you go when there isn't an event or show, it's free. However, ticketing for Red Rocks is a scam. I really wish they would partner with someone else other than AXS. For the more popular shows, it seems like AXS is buying up all the tickets and then reselling them. For popular acts, the moment I enter Presales, only premium tickets are left and by the general sale, it's all Resales available. At least with Ticketmaster, standard admission is still available on general sales which makes me prefer TM even though they aren't great either. And they are marketed way above the original value. For example, tickets to Hilary Duff are the most expensive compared to her other cities sitting at a nice $235 for GA tickets. Other venues are like $86 for GA. I really wish they were looking out for the fans instead of scammers and banned resales above their value. It's absolutely ridiculous a venue this popular hasn't even tried to tackle the bot problem. Very disappointed. read more

One of the most famous music venues to discover and attend a show in my opinion. The acoustics and scenery is unlike anything. There are ample bars and bathrooms + it's pretty fun to tailgate ahead of a show. You can walk the grounds for free when they don't have a concert which is cool. read more

Such a neat place and definitely worth visiting! I love that you can park and walk through the amphitheater for free as long as there isn't a concert or special event going on. Pictures really don't do it justice--seeing a world-famous concert venue built right into the massive red rock formations is an awesome experience. There isn't much shade, so be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water, especially if you're visiting during the middle of the day. It's also pet friendly, which was a huge bonus for us since we were able to bring our dog along. Even if you're not there for a concert, it's a fun place to explore, take in the incredible views, and appreciate the unique architecture and natural surroundings. Definitely one of Colorado's must-see attractions! read more

Finally got to experience Red Rocks for the first time, and it was absolutely incredible! We saw Alesso, Lost Frequencies, Surf Mesa and a suprise guest Martin Garrix and even though I've seen them before in Vegas, this was by far the best experience. The views, atmosphere, and energy of the crowd are something you really have to experience for yourself. We took an Uber and got dropped off right near the entrance. We arrived around 7 PM, got through the line quickly, and still found great seats in the middle-upper section. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, and I liked that the show started early and ended around midnight. Red Rocks is definitely a bucket-list venue. Whether it's a concert, yoga, or another event, it's worth experiencing at least once. I can't wait to go back! read more

Search Assist Rolling Stone Magazine named Red Rocks Amphitheatre the best amphitheater in America, describing it as a dramatic natural venue that can elevate a good show into a totally unforgettable night. The venue has hosted legendary performances by artists like The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, contributing to its storied reputation. If you have not visited the iconic venue, find a music group you like and visit then. Unbelievable views depend on where you sit. High above and you can dwell on downtown Denver. Sit near stage and you will feel like you are in the band. Plenty of beverage locations on epic event days. They even come to you in the crowd. Plenty of parking, arrive early. Plenty of food choices. Limited parking for handicapped. We arrived by bus from our hotel location. I think that is the way to go. read more

When you think of Denver there are a few things that come to mind right away. Denver Broncos, Rocky Mountain National Park, and this world renowned concert venue. We were in town for spring break so we wanted to drop by and check it out. We arrived on a Thursday early evening. Red Rocks Amphitheater is located 10 miles southwest of Denver in the beautiful town of Morrison, CO. Parking is accessible all around the amphitheater. There was no concert scheduled that night. We were hoping to catch the sunset but unfortunately we missed it. The lighting was still great for pictures though. We parked by the Upper South Lot. From there it was a moderate 10 minute walk to the south ramp of the venue. During the walk the views of the valley is stunning. Once we made it inside the outdoor amphitheater, I was in awe of the beauty and ambiance of the Red Rocks amphitheater. The majestic backdrop of the red rocks was definitely something I have never seen before for a concert venue. It was unique and beautiful. We were able to start from the bottom of the stage area and make our way to the top. It was a nice workout climbing up the seats steps. From the top, the different angle view of the amphitheater and backdrop was amazing as well. Overall we enjoyed our time exploring Red Rocks amphitheater. It was a one of a kind experience. Unfortunately the visitor center was closed and we did not see a live concert at the venue. We hope to be back again so we can attend a concert. read more

Flew to Denver to see Yo-Yo Ma play Dvorak with the Colorado Symphony. We had excellent seats, row 5. Seat 48 was in the literal middle and at eye level w the musicians so it was perfect. I did pay scalper prices (3x) for them though (AXS fees were ridiculous). We came prepared with 18" wide seat cushions (they were crazy about enforcing the size at the gate w a ruler). I did my research and we showed up early, like 4:30p to tailgate. Picked up some sandwiches from Carmine Lonardo's to go with some wine; they were perfect. We chose to park in the Lower South Lot to be closer to the stage since we had lower seats, but instead of walking up to the ramp, we came across and took the complimentary shuttle to the Upper North lot entrance FOR THE WIN, as we would only have to deal with going down stairs instead of the hill to get to the South side ramp. Leaving the venue though was a bit of a challenge. Actually, a bit of a clusterfuck. We didn't even try to turn on the car and just sat in the parking lot for about 30 minutes to let the other cars clear out. Overall, great experience and would definitely do it again. read more

I've been to many music venues and Red Rocks Amphitheater is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. When they say amphitheater they mean it as the sounds amplified and carried throughout the whole venue. Our seats were close to the stage but just high enough to still see the gorgeous backdrop (Row 42 seats 59,60). There are 70 rows total in the amphitheater. I like so many genres of music, but the music blasting in this setting just hits differently. I felt my soul healing. There is nothing like it. The VIBES you get at this outdoor venue is unreal. Depending if you decide to park or use ride share there's a bit of a hike to get to the venue in high altitude, but as long as you're prepared it's so worth it. read more

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is one of the most iconic music venues for a reason... it is absolutely stunning and the sound in the venue is too. It is a bit of a hike to get up to the venue which is an experience all in itself. I don't know any other places where an amphitheater is surrounded by incredible massive red rocks. It is beautiful!!! We also did hiking right by (on a hiking trail) and wow is it gorgeous. There is also a Visitors welcome center that is great too to learn more about the history or grab a souvenir. Everyone working there has helped make it organized and has been helpful. To see my favorite band Lord Huron here is always the best. Nothing else is like this venue. I highly recommend coming to see a concert here. I can't rave about this incredible venue enough. If you love outdoor venue concerts.... it can't get better than this. read more

Red Rocks was so much more than I thought it would be! For one, I didn't realize just how the steep the walk up to the Amphitheater was until we came up to it to begin the trek. Whew! Then once you get past the ramp there are so many stairs, some of the sets of stairs are bigger so you are almost having to lunge to get up, ha! I'm not complaining about the exertion of muscles though, the view was totally worth the climb! There are also trails and parks you can explore. And there's the gift shop for souvenirs. I would love to attend a concert here, but I will have a better appreciation of the space now that I've visited. read more

WOW. This was better than I could've imagined. I just wish we would've had the opportunity to go to a show here. We came for the sunrise. Parking was a breeze - it was snowing the weekend we went so the roads were icey. We got there about 30 mins before the estimated sunrise, so we got all set up and enjoyed the views. One downside was the giant crane by the amphitheater. Which was an eye sore, but the views were still amazing. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I would definitely recommend stopping by for the views even if you can't catch a show. read more

Red Rocks amphitheater is an amphitheater, so naturally, people talk a lot about that. But, it's so much more. It's a community space with deeply rooted memories that people all over the world have shared. I know everyone gets excited about a show, as they should. They fly in, they drive in, plan a pre-party on the lots, charge their phones to capture the moment... yet, I don't feel folks know that the park is open during the day most every day of the week, year-round. You can walk the amphitheater, climb the trails around, witness the vistas. I always enjoy taking out-of-town friends to the amphitheater during the day. I even like going there by myself and listening to the visitors as they see it for the first time, live a little vicariously. And, while you're up there, visit the tourist center, the little museum and outpost. There really is a lot this place has to offer beyond the music, which makes the music that much more special. To experience the full magic, take a couple of hours outside the shows to explore the space in a little more solitude. read more

Red Rocks is without a doubt the best concert venue in the US and I'm so grateful I finally got to experience it. We saw Two Friends play here last night and it was probably the best concert we've ever been to. What a top tier venue - from the sound, lights, employees, food selection, seating arrangement, parking - everything was fantastic. We were able to snag a pretty close parking spot so we didn't have to even park in one of the lots despite showing up around 7:30. My only complaint is the amount of women's bathrooms - there are definitely not enough to handle a sold out crowd without at least a 30 minute wait throughout the night. read more

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is an incredibly unique venue (naturally made of 300M year old, iron-rich sandstone) and has quite literally a dynamite origin (with acknowledgement of indigenous ownership); it's also a neat National park with trails, museums, and plenty of parking to take advantage of during the day. Food and drink were served at the bottom and top levels of the amphitheater during a mixed EDM/classical orchestra concert featuring Apashe, Flux Pavillion, and Josh Teed. Security service presence was heavy throughout the event. Traffic patrol is also present early on to keep vehicles flowing. Seating and sound were ample from various angles of the venue. read more

Went to see Sinners and The Reminders. Phenomenal ambiance and sound quality. Several food and snack options available. Walking up the ramp from the lot was more difficult than I anticipated with my asthma and I got violently ill. But the first aide staff were wonderful. They limit the size of the blanket but a bigger one could have been folded to make the seating more comfortable. It's compliant for physical accessibility but could be more inclusive. The screen had open captions and that made my day! Communication access was great! read more

...this has to be the most incredible live music experience I've ever had. If you're reading this, you're probably seeing all the other rave reviews as well, so I'll just offer a few tips and highlights: 1. Arrive right when the parking lots open for the show (2 hours prior to doors) and tailgate. Bring food, drinks, cards, etc. and just hang out in the back of your car with your crew. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. 2. Park in the Upper North Lot, and park as close to the lot exit as you can, with your car facing the exit. It'll help you get out faster. 3. The bathrooms in that parking lot are single stall and quite slow - opt for the porta potties on the other side for a quicker experience. 4. If you're there during cooler times, bring a blanket - and an empty water bottle - to take into the show. 5. Head in right when doors open and pick your spot. We loved being halfway down, on the side so we could easily enter and exit the row. Mark your spot with a blanket or something to sit on. 6. If the whole place is packed, get a spot on the sides near the trees: not a real "seat" but you can post up on the ledge for great views lower down 7. Check out the museum, gift shop and bathroom at the top before the show starts! 8. The bathrooms at the bottom have shorter lines 9. Watch the final song from the very top so you can exit the parking lot fast :) 10. It's an absolutely magical venue and likely one of the favorite stops of whichever band you see there - so they're extra excited too. Take it all in!! read more

What an iconic venue! Red Rocks was on my bucket list for years and I've now been fortunate enough to visit twice. On my first visit, my friends and I went to hike and explore. The amphitheater is free and open to the public during the day. There were lots of people who were exercising, hiking, and exploring the theater and park. The weather was nice during our visit and I was able to take some amazing photos. We did not stay for the concert that evening (Beatles tribute), but I told myself that I would absolutely come back to see a show because that was my ultimate goal. A year later, I had the opportunity to go back for the Teddy Swims concert. The show was absolutely amazing! The venue did a great job of communicating important information for the show. I signed up for weather text alerts which came in handy as it was storming the morning of the concert (luckily, the storms moved out just in time for the show). There isn't a bad view and the sound quality was excellent! It was a little difficult finding my seat because it was hard to see the row and seat numbers in the dark and I didn't see any ushers for assistance. The seating consists of benches with numbered spaces. There's typically reserved and GA sections which vary by show. The designated space for each seat is kind of tight (luckily, we were standing most of the time). If you have a GA ticket, get there early so you can get a spot. It took me 21 years to see a concert at Red Rocks, but I am so happy that I did! Even if Red Rocks isn't on your bucket list, go visit if you have the chance! The sheer beauty alone is worth the trip! read more

Definitely one of my favorite venues. Only complaint I have is there is not nearly enough restrooms for the crowd at a sold out show. Prices are a bit crazy for drinks and food inside. Thankfully you can bring in sealed water and food of your own. The views are outstanding and you will not find a better sight whether it's at the amphitheater or hiking the grounds. read more

Great first visit to Red Rocks last week. This was a bucket list item, and I will be back often from Oregon. The show, the color of the rocks was terrific. But what stood out to me was the friendliness and knowledge that the entire team dispayed. Incredible knowledge what was availbale, where to get it etc. The shuttle tickets that were purchased were the right ticket to Red Rocks. As I said...I will definitely be back. read more

This was a bucket list place to see and I finally got to see it! Now I didn't get to see a show, but getting to experience the Amphitheatre was the next best thing. It's free to park and walk around at least when there isn't a show too. They have a visitor center you can explore or you can just walk into the amphitheater area and explore yourself! I cannot believe the red rocks just appear on a mountainside it's something I had a loss of words for. Right by the entrance there is a small tunnel they dug out with a rock too that was fascinating. I went on a day that was a little bit windy as well as cold but not too cold. This place would be unbearable with snow so keep that in mind. The elevation is also pretty hefty at red rocks as I believe it was around 8200ft above sea level. Denver is around 5300ft so it's a big difference you would feel especially climbing around the steps in the amphitheater. I think the coolest part of the whole experience is that you can see the city of Denver in the distance when looking down from the top of the amphitheater. I definitely recommend checking it out if you have a car and are going to Denver. It's a must see and the only thing even better would be to see a show here! The echos from the rocks would make the music sound incredible. read more

The RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE in Colorado is a sight to see! Wow! Just breathtaking: literally and figuratively! A magical, spiritual and emotional stage. We caught the sunrise, but still need to catch a concert here. The amphitheatre is the master work of Colorado's most highly regarded architect, Burnham Hoyt. The grand opening took place back on June 15, 1941. Elevation: 6,310 feet! We arrived a bit late to witness the sunrise from the amphitheater. We parked at the Trading Post near the Lower South Lot and later realized the the Upper North Lot would've saved us a lot of time! We viewed the 6:30am sunrise from the ramp, which was still so beautiful to see. We could hear the crowd cheer from the stands. I would recommend entering through Entrance 1 and head to the North lots. If you want to experience the incline, then take Entrance 2 and park at the South Lots. During our visit, the parking and entrance was free! We stayed for about an hour to admire its beauty and architecture. Unfortunately, it was too early, so the Visitor Center, Trading Center, and food booth were both closed. We will definitely be back! read more

!Time for an update! Being a native Coloradan, I never underestimate the fortune we have in Red Rocks. Summer just isn't complete without a visit, whether for a concert, yoga, or a simple hike. Wildlife viewing is a common occurrence and is especially fun when the raccoons come out to help "clear" the amphitheater (clear food, not visitors). For those with mobility issues, there is a shuttle to help those get from the lower parking lots to the south entrance. Restrooms at the top and bottom of the amphitheater are also accessible. Handicap seating is at the front of the stage (so cool!) No matter where one sits, it always comes with a great view of downtown and the plains. The Visitor Center is open during concerts and has Red Rocks themed merch and stadium blankets for sale. Definitely my most favorite concert venue in the North America! read more

Hot take: Red Rocks is just okay as a concert venue. I'd love to do a yoga event here or even a movie night with live orchestra. The last time I came here was almost 15 years ago for a show. I had the chance to come back to see Goo Goo Dolls and Dashboard Confessional. While both bands were stellar, the sound was really disappointing! It sounded like it was either cutting slightly in and out or really inconsistent. * bathroom lines are wild. both men's & women's and alll bathrooms even the north parking lot one that supposedly "never has a line" * we did GA and because they don't have a middle row, there's a lot of people constantly walking in front of you during the show. If this would bother you, get reserved tickets * people were really drunk. Someone puked right behind us. Staff did come clean it really quickly. The folks in front of us were clearly very wasted as well. It's not to say you'll be sandwiched by inebriated people but it was not my favorite crowd. * however, staff was super friendly! From security to concession to finding tickets and finding seats, appreciate how helpful they were. Red Rocks is an experience for sure and a bucket list but go in prepared! read more

Got tickets to see The Marias here and I am soo happy we did. The venue is beautiful and even though it was a cloudy afternoon and we didn't get to see much of a sunset, the view was still beautiful. The uber driver left us at the bottom which then meant we had to hike up.... the hike up was brutal and everyone was out of breath once at the top. Hiking up with loafers - not a good idea. Once inside there were many vendors and different types of foods to pick from. We purchased corn dogs, drinks, and a side of fries for about $60. All the employees we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Leaving this place after the show was a nightmare though and it took us about 2.5 hours to get picked up... Overall beautiful venue! It gets cold at night! read more

Red Rocks Amphitheater We parked in the Lower South Lot, thank goodness we were able to catch a shuttle bus to the top, it is quite an uphill trek. Suggest parking here, walk to the Trading Post to catch the shuttle to be dropped off at the top. Majority of food vendors are at the top along with the concert merch. Facing the stage, we exited the right side, turned left at street level, then a right at the stop sign, walk past Trading Post, go slight right to lower south lot. Lauren Daigle, Tauren Wells, Ben Fuller, Josh Baldwin, and Caleb & John performed as part of the K-Love Live at the Red Rocks. Really enjoyed Josh Baldwin and Ben Fuller, along with Tauren Wells. Lauren Daigle being the headliner put me to sleep, she took the stage about 9:45 pm. The Red Rocks Amphitheater was a bucket list venue for me and did not disappoint. One of the most beautiful concert natural venues in the world. Acoustics are spectacular, we sat in row 38, middle of the Amphitheater and the distance was not bad. The food vendors are not bad, prepare to spend some money or you can bring food and some drinks. For an August 5, 2025 concert, day time temperature was 97 degrees so was hot, very warm until the sun went down. We left prior to last song of final act, beat the crowd out since all roads lead to one road causing major bottle neck. Great concert venue checked off bucket list read more

Mountains are in view, a bit of the city and of course the red rocks. The concessions were great because they offered such a wide variety even with drinks and lines moved pretty fast! Parking is tough and you'll wait in long lines. You'll also have to walk a bit and climb many many stairs! Prepare yourself! Cannot wait to come back for something else! read more

I have wanted to attend a concert at Red Rocks for years and years. I decided last fall that 2025 was going to be my year to start making my bucket list happen. And now I can cross Red Rocks off of my list. Luckily we had purchased tickets in Row 6 - the day before we left I managed to break my foot. There are a LOT of steps. Being in one of the lowest rows saved me. There is quite a bit of general admission seating. It was an absolute free for all of those vying for the best seats. Once again, I'm glad I bought an assigned seat. Red Rocks has an extensive list of what is allowed in and what's prohibited. It depends on what gate you go in - I probably could have brought a lazy boy in with me - no one looked at anything. Pot is prohibited but that didn't stop joints being openly passed down rows. I've seen dozens of Red Rocks concerts on TV but nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the true awesomeness of the concert. The lights playing off of the rocks, the unparalleled acoustics, the camaraderie of the crowd all led to an absolutely wonderful evening. There is a shuttle that runs from some of the lots for people with mobility issues. It was an absolute blessing. Many people were tailgating though the rain kept us to drinking beer in our rental. Still, just watching the GA people jockeying for position two hours before the show was entertainment in itself. In my head, I can envision someone hiking through the red rocks on a peaceful Sunday morning. They stop, look at their partner and say "damn, this would really make an awesome amphitheater someday'". Thanks dude. Much appreciated. read more
