Red Rocks Amphitheatre concert venue in Colorado during summer 2024
Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a geological wonder located in Morrison, Colorado, just a short drive from Denver, has been hosting unforgettable performances since its official opening in 1941. However, its history as a performance space stretches back much further, with early concerts and even Easter Sunrise Services held there in the early 1900s. Built into towering red sandstone rocks, the venue offers more than just stunning visuals. The unique rock formations create natural acoustics that are renowned worldwide, making every concert sound exceptional.
Getting to Red Rocks and preparing for your concert experience is part of the adventure. Parking is available for free, and venue staff will direct you to the most convenient parking lot upon arrival. It’s important to remember that Red Rocks sits at an elevation of 6,450 feet. The altitude can affect visitors, especially those not accustomed to it. The walk from the parking areas to the amphitheater is also uphill, so comfortable shoes are highly recommended. Staying hydrated and taking it easy as you ascend to the venue will help ensure you feel your best to enjoy the show. Colorado weather can be unpredictable, especially in the summer months. Always check the forecast before heading to Red Rocks, and be prepared for potential changes, including sudden storms. Bringing layers of clothing and being ready for both warm sunshine and cooler evenings is a smart strategy.
Red Rocks concert tickets are available for purchase through AXS.com, the official ticketing partner for the venue. With such a sought-after lineup each year, securing your tickets early is highly advisable. The 2024 Red Rocks concert schedule is packed with diverse musical genres, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
