Rachel BJuly 25, 2016Excellent venue for an outdoor concert. It can be a bit of a hike to your seat. Don't underestimate altitude! Give yourself time to get seated.

RICK GRYBOSSeptember 23, 2013Come out and join the Denver Fitness workout. Every Saturday & Sunday morning at 0800. Don't be late! Very intense fun workout that you will enjoy! Hope to see you all out there.
Best parking? Get there a little early to tailgate. Go in the Northern entrance off Morrison Road, then, when you get to the split, go left and park at the bottom of the hill near the stairs of death.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Billy AmpJune 13, 2016Hands down, one of the best amphitheater in the United States and probably in the world! Amazing sound and beautiful every where you look or sit.
Andrew CMarch 19, 2019Came to hike and see the views... it was empty around 4pm and nobody was around (even with beautiful weather) -- variety of trails to choose from and absolutely amazing views all along
Ryan BlockSeptember 6, 2016Perhaps the most unique, large-concert venue in North America. Great natural scenery for the eye, and beautiful acoustics for the ear. Looking forward to the next one.
Link BauerAugust 16, 2014The sound is amazing and you can see good where ever you sit. I love being in the front and enjoy when the shows are GA in the front rows. If you love concerts you have to experience this venue.
If it's your first concert make sure you sit in GA, you get the whole experience then of the skyline, clouds & venue!!! The sound is so amazing you don't have to sit close to truly enjoy a show.
StarGirl11March 24, 2015Oh sure it's a great venue but what really is the best here are the trails you can run or hike around here. Gorgeous views and worth a trip out to.
Will HallockJanuary 13, 2014Perfect place for a walk or hike, to admire the red rock scenery and Denver skyline, or to learn about the geological and musical history of the Red Rock Amphitheater! A must-see CO attraction!
- Jessie SimmsAugust 23, 2019If you like music, Red Rocks is as legendary as they say. You have to catch a show in the best amphitheater ever. The acoustics are simply incredible and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Do not miss!
Sarah NorrisDecember 24, 2021I mean, what is there to say? It's a classic. The acoustics are amazing, and you're nestled between some big rocks. Except for the steep climb up the stairs, it's perfect.
Short (1.5mi) but awesome hike (Trading Post Trail)! Check the weather because it was SO WINDY when I did this. You should bring a wind-breaker just in case.
Greg FullerJuly 29, 2019Fantastic venue of a concert. The natural amphitheater set in the rocks makes this place unforgettable. Concessions were varied and at typical prices, the bbq I had was good. Definitely a must see.
Clara ZVFebruary 2, 2023Beautiful scenic views, it's a most if you are around. You can hike a bit and if you come in summer you can even have some free yoga class.
Todd WeisrockOctober 5, 2015One of the best concert venues in the world. Check out a show here, or just stop by during the day to see it. It's almost always open and there are people here everyday working out!
Really great to get here for the sunrise and run the amphitheater stairs any which way you choose. Check the web site since visiting hours vary before shows.
DV Green🌀June 12, 2013A large, tilted, disc-shaped rock behind the stage, a huge vertical rock angled outwards from stage right, large outcrops angled outwards from stage left and a seating area for up to 9,450 people.
Adam RAugust 9, 2014Best concert venue ever... Wide rows, great visibility from any level, fun crowd, beautiful setting!
Easily a top 3 outdoor music venue (if not #1). Make sure you stop by during the day and hit the museum up top.
TerryApril 4, 2014What a view! Loved all of the new stuff they've added underground. A must see venue as there's nothing like it. Be sure to run up and down the stairs (or have your kids do it)!
If you’re not feeling the ramp or the stairs, snag a cab ride to the top for $5/person. Worth it to not be a sweaty mess in the summer!
John HillApril 22, 2014Great place for venues. We come from Iowa every year for the Easter sunrise services. I have never been to an actual concert there but can imagine what that experience would be like. It is a must do.
Sarah Decker SextonJune 18, 2014Incredible venue. Loved sitting on the right side of the venue towards the front so I could see both the stage and the screen easily. I would however recommend parking in the south lot.
Silent KillerMarch 26, 2019Favorite outdoor venue hands down! The acoustics are out of this world and definitely a must see if ur in the area.
Alex HunterJune 20, 2022One of, if not *the* coolest venue in the country. Stairs are rough but you can treat yourself to a vodka lemonade as a reward to making it up.
The most beautiful amphitheater I have ever been to. And it's carved into the natural stone. Walking all of the stairs is suppose to burn 40 calories.
- Sarah TomczykJune 10, 2013The best outdoor venue I've ever been to. Everyone needs to see a live show here at least once! Stunning rocks and a great view of downtown Denver!!
Everything about this place is good. Go to as many shows as you can!
ViajandolavidalocaMay 5, 2016Best views of Denver! Highly recommend. Great for working out or just taking in the sights.
Ashley BarnesJuly 8, 2013Really is amazing! The front rows are cool, but take some time to go to the top, you still get an awesome sound from the band, but you also get to see all of Denver!!
Roberto Bruder AguiarOctober 20, 2015Beautiful hiking around the red rocks. Great place for pictures, jogging, biking and enjoying being your day with the kids.
American FinancingJune 14, 2013Awesome concert venue! View is awesome from the cheap seats but on windy days the sound will get lost. And the cops in nearby Morrison love to hand out tickets so go slow there!
Kacie ArmbrustJuly 9, 2018Even if you can't catch a concert here, it's still a great place to hike and you'll find many people working out in the amphitheater early in the morning.
ColoradoJanuary 23, 2012This legendary, acoustically perfect summer concert venue is surrounded by towering red sandstone monoliths and Denver views. Trails take bikers and hikers through past striking rock formations.
Mike CortezJanuary 2, 2016Be prepared! If your not in shape to handle the walk up...you will be on the run back down. Absolutely gorgeous views and a landmark you have to visit while in Morrison, CO.
Darren LymanAugust 19, 2011Red Rocks is absolutely the most beautiful venue in the world. RR is run by the City and County of Denver, CO by some of the nicest people! For concert & event info: http://www.redrocksonline.com
Steve KudronMarch 15, 2012If you are a visitor to the Denver area, stop by Red Rocks. Some of the best concerts ever have been performed in this natural rock formed ampitheater. For a health trip - try running the stairs!
PepsiJuly 1, 2011Can't find a musical show you want to see? Try Film on the Rocks. Red Rocks chooses to play mostly cult-status movies on select dates throughout the summer.
Staff PicksDecember 6, 2016Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more
Danyelle DoddNovember 18, 2013Such a cool, unique venue for concerts. Also a great place to work out if you like running up stairs. So scenic and pretty.
This place needs to be on your bucket list. Red Rocks is one of the most amazing concert experiences you can imagine!
Jason HegyessySeptember 25, 2015Amazing outdoor venue. Wish I didn't have to fly to see artists here but it's worth it.
Dan TranMay 12, 2014Amazing acoustics. Won't nickle and dime you like with parking fees and expensive drinks. People all over the country and world come to see once in a blue moon performances.
Make sure that you take the time to tour the Red Rocks Visitors Center. Very much worth the time.
Check your tickets, or the red rocks website, or the band website to confirm the date of the concert. Showing up a day late doesn't work.
I hope you are here to hear the jams of the @theavettbros - but either way Red Rocks has the best, most amazing views!
Dee PhunkMay 27, 2015Thousands of people dancing like they don't give a f*ck who's looking. You gotta respect it. Complete escape and sensory overload.
