As it is the start of the year, we are gearing up for a ton of imminent music statements — the very fascinating being Red Rock’s summer concert series. Red Rocks because place is striking, and there are not many pastimes as highly enjoyed by Coloradans and visitors alike as the concert season in full swing. Even though a few shows from the likes of The 1975 and also Lord Huron have been announced — as well as those who go back to the acclaimed place yearly such as Lotus and the Avett Brothers –there’s ’s a lot of ground to cover before the calendar has been stuffed up. We’ve compiled a listing of a few of the frontrunners, that ’ll hopefully be providing the soundtrack to the summer.
*Please notethis listing isn’t exhaustive, and also for the means of speculation, the acts who go back to the place almost annual (STS9, GRiZ, Big Gigantic, etc.) have not been included.
First Time Hopefuls
Robyn
Sweden’s reigning pop queen is long overdue for a performance slot at Red Rocks. Originally slated to headline the place together with Röyksopp at 2014, the plans fell through due to logistical and production complications only weeks prior to the show’thus far. On the insides of her initial full-length solo attempt in nearly eight decades, hope was renewed. With a smattering of sold-out U.S. tour dates at the first half of this year and summer openings in their schedule, Robyn is surely a competitor for summit Red Rocks programming forthcoming summer. Plus, who doesn’t like a good dance party in the amphitheater?
Solange
Solange is no longer living in the joys of her sister Beyoncé. Coming into her own with 2016’s A Seat At The Table, Solange became a musical auteur whose creative outcome became a fully realized vision of modern R&B. In 2019, she’therefore set to keep down the road she’s chased for himself, with a new album and reside in tow. While her previous excursion, eponymously named after the record, was set in museums and festivals, there’s no telling in which the new performances will end up, but here’s to hoping its at Red Rocks.

Here’therefore everything, Anderson .Paak has an upcoming performance at the Fillmore Auditorium in February. However if you were like most folks, you waited in the queue for tickets which had long sold out. The multi-genre crooner is just one of the most popular upstarts of now, one that can sell out, also has offered out bigger places.
A$AP Rocky
Although A$AP Rocky’s newest album Testing was out for a little while now and that he ’s staked out a ton of stateside dates in January, the rapper has yet to operate via Denver at the promotion of this job. While maybe not a determining factor in and of itself, A$AP Rocky has not missed Denver within an album cycle in recent memory, also, from the looks of his announced tour dates, he will be traveling late to the year.

For the very first time in four consecutive decades, ODESZA will not be returning to Red Rocks. The duo before this season announced that they will not be venturing back into the place, in order to put on their very first festival Sundara. The omission of all ODESZA comes as an upset to many who have made it their yearly tradition to celebrate the beginning of summer with this band. Similarly, many know Red Rocks to function as group’s favorite areas to play — debuting new paths and taking their shows at the next level, the omission is particularly upsetting.
Whatever ends up happening over these upcoming couple of weeks, Red Rocks is sure to have several surprises in store. As the names begin to roll out in bigger doses, along with the anticipation mounts, so be sure to check in and determine which predictions were about the currency and which ones were off the mark. Take a look at a couple additional possibilities below.
