2026 Red Rocks Concerts and Events

2026 Red Rocks Season Overview

2026 marks Red Rocks’ 85th anniversary season, and the calendar reflects it with more than 175 shows running April through November, headlined by some of the biggest names in live music. The standout night of the year is Rod Stewart’s “One Last Time” two-night farewell run on June 15-16, one of the legendary singer’s final-ever Colorado performances. Other unmissable 2026 dates include Ice Cube & Snoop Dogg co-headlining 4/20 On The Rocks, Santana’s Oneness Tour (May 27-28), Paul Simon (June 12-13), Yo-Yo Ma with the Colorado Symphony, Eric Church‘s three-night run, The Strokes, Brandi Carlile, Andrea Bocelli, Zac Brown Band, deadmau5, David Guetta, John Summit, and comedian John Mulaney.

Multi-night runs are stacked across the 2026 calendar for Red Rocks including shows by Rod Stewart and Santana in the spring, Paul Simon, Lewis Capaldi, Sublime, Widespread Panic, and AJR through early summer, then Eric Church, The Avett Brothers, The String Cheese Incident, The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Mt. Joy, and Goose through July and August, followed by MANÁ, Brandi Carlile, Andrea Bocelli, JUNGLE, Zac Brown Band, and a Halloween-night deadmau5 doubleheader. The 2026 schedule also includes other special events beyond concerts, with Yoga on the Rocks returning on select summer mornings and Film on the Rocks bringing outdoor movie nights back to the amphitheater.

What’s New at Red Rocks in 2026

Red Rocks’ 85th anniversary season brings a few meaningful upgrades to the fan experience, especially around entry flow, merchandise lines, and the east side of the amphitheater. The improvements do not change what people love about Red Rocks. They are designed to make busy concert nights run a little more smoothly while preserving the venue’s historic stone-and-landscape character.

New 2026 upgrades include:

• East Terrace: A new terrace near the east entrance stairs, originally envisioned in architect Burnham Hoyt’s historic plans, gives guests more room during ticketing and security screening while adding a new place to take in views of the surrounding rock formations.
• Permanent South Merch Stand: A new built-in merchandise stand replaces the temporary tent used in past seasons, adding better weather protection, more storage and display space, and additional points of sale for faster service.
• Improved arrival flow: The added entry space should help reduce congestion near the east entrance on high-demand concert nights, especially when large crowds arrive close to door time.

These upgrades should make the in-venue experience better once you are at Red Rocks, but they do not solve the biggest planning challenges outside the gates: Morrison traffic, parking lot walks, changing mountain weather, post-show pickup logistics, and the late-night drive back. A private Red Rocks shuttle with Blue Sky Limo gives your group a guaranteed, scheduled pickup and drop-off at the venue, and a comfortable ride home after the show.
