Ball Arena will welcome several star-powered acts, with Kendrick Lamar bringing his Big Steppers Tour to Denver on Tuesday, August 23 (tickets are $59-$179), and the Smashing Pumpkins coming on Monday, November 7 (tickets are $49-$150). But perhaps the most exciting is the return of Gorillaz on Wednesday, September 28, with the band's first North American tour since 2018. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 20.

Film on the Rocks also returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre this summer on Monday nights, with the first screening on June 13 with Thor: Ragnarok; each night includes a live performance from one of the town's big bands (can't wait to see who's paired with Thor). The series will end on August 15 with a screening of Dune. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

And there's plenty more to see and hear. Here are all the other new Denver concert announcements:
