Denver, get ready to rock!

Downtown Denver will be transformed into a massive free rock concert when 20 bands take to four stages for the second annual Denver Day of Rock. 
 
The Gin Blossoms, best known for their infectious hit "Hey Jealousy," are headlining. Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, John Common, The Heyday, Bop Skizzum and Alicia Witt are just a few of the other acts that have been announced, with plenty more to come.

The performance areas will be along the 16th Street Mall, Denver’s mile-long pedestrian promenade, making it easy to roam from act to act. Food and beer booths will be set up throughout downtown for the event, with free music rocking the city from 2:30 to 9:30 p.m.
