The JunkYard Denver, which opened at 1095 Yuma Street for Meow Wolf's Vortex Festival in 2022, has just started announcing shows for 2025. The outdoor venue, which took over an old auto-salvage yard, has become known for hosting festivals as well as EDM and rock shows, particularly of the pop-punk or emo variety, and this year is looking to build on that.

Take the Summer of Loud Tour, for instance, which is uniting such bands as Beartooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, the Devil Wears Prada and more for a stacked lineup at the JunkYard on July 9. Tickets will be available via LiveNation at 10 a.m. Friday, February 28.
