This year is shaping up to be an epic one in concerts, especially if you're a local metalhead who hits up as many shows as possible. The 2025 slate of shows already includes some big ones — Metallica, Deftones and the inaugural Unhinged Festival, for starters.

But we decided to comb all the calendars so you don't have to, and dug up everything from Singaporean grindcore to Norwegian black metal (we even threw in some punk and rock for ya). So here's your one-stop shop for the biggest concerts coming through Denver this year:
