If there ever was a weekend to embrace your inner hippie, this Fourth of July weekend is it. While there are big shows like Dead & Company and Umphrey's McGee (each in town for two-night stands),  Dead tribute acts Dark Star Orchestra and Shakedown Street will be here, along with Blues Traveler's annual Fourth of July show at Red Rocks. Also this weekend, Salt-N-Pepa will head up the I Love the ’90s show at Fiddler's Green, and Selena Gomez hits the Pepsi Center stage. See the full list of our picks below.
