The Rolling Stones will fill Empower Field on June 20, 2024, when the band stops in Denver on its North American tour. And if the rock-and-roll icons aren't enough of a draw, it was just announced today, April 25, that the seminal Southern-rock jam band Widespread Panic will be opening the show.

The Rolling Stones announced their Hackney Diamond tour, which stops in sixteen cities across the U.S and Canada, last November. The legendary musicians will perform the band's greatest hits as well as music from their new album, Hackney Diamonds, which received a Grammy nomination for the lead single, “Angry.”

Widespread Panic is just the cherry on top. It's the first time the band will perform at Empower Field, and the show will be followed by its annual three-night run at Red Rocks June 21-23. Widespread Panic has played more shows at Red Rocks than any band in history.

AEG Presents Concerts West is the promoter of Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
