January

Jan. 13, 2025 - Rod Wave @ Ball Arena
Rod Wave may not be a household name, but he’s anything but obscure. The trailblazing “trap-soul” rapper is already one of the highest-grossing rappers of all time, with a discography that has consistently pushed its way to the top of the charts. Now, the rapper has his sights on an arena tour, and if his understated rise tells you nothing, this certainly won’t be the last one. It's like Jay-Z once said, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man."

Jan. 24 - 26, 2025 - Billy Strings @ Ball Arena
Bluegrass juggernaut, Billy Strings is fully in the big leagues now – pulling three consecutive nights at Ball Arena in January. Not only is Billy Strings at a level where he can put three arena shows on sale, but he’s also in a league of his own as they will be his first-ever 360 shows in the middle of crowd. This is what being at the top of your game looks like.

February

Feb. 11, 2025 - Tyler, the Creator @ Ball Arena
The visionary and rap auteur, Tyler, the Creator is set to bring his viridescent fever dream of a new album, "CROMAKOPIA," to life this winter. His newfound caustic militant aesthetic complete with shipping containers and more pyrotechnics than you can shake a stick at, among other fantastical productions will make his return to the arena unmissable.

Feb. 25, 2025 - Mary J. Blige @ Ball Arena
The undisputed Mary J. Blige is coming through to croon as only she can do. For the For My Fans Tour, as it has been dubbed, the R&B songstress will bring heavy hitters, Mario and Ne-Yo, along for a night of nostalgic yearning, function and slow-burning moods. Not only that but rest assured, those iconic thigh-high boots of hers will be putting in some work if you know, you know.

Feb. 27, 2025 - Disturbed @ Ball Arena
For the 25th anniversary of "The Sickness," veteran heavy rock group, Disturbed has big plans to pulverize come February. If getting down to their most beloved album wasn’t enough, the “Down with the Sickness” outfit is also bringing Three Days Grace and Sevendust along for the ride for a night of hard-hitting anthems. So, open up your hate, Denver, and let it flow into Ball Arena.

March

March 8, 2025 - Icelantic Winter on the Rocks ft. Gramatik @ Red Rocks
Jamtronic all-star, Gramatik emerged from a lengthy hiatus to headline Icelantic’s Winter on the Rocks alongside Zingara, the Funk Hunters and the Sponges. It will be his first time playing the venue in three years, atop a touring hiatus from him that has seen the star pull back from the multitudes of festival lineups he’s known for appearing on. Whether it's a full return to his denomination on the road is yet to be seen, but you can guarantee the fans will be overjoyed to have another Red Rocks show on the books.

April

April 29, 2025 - Kylie Minogue @ Ball Arena
Dance music icon Kylie Minogue is coming to Ball Arena atop a career renaissance that started with “Padam Padam” and has continued through her latest albums "Tension" and "Tension II," and a wildly successful Las Vegas residency. All that’s to say, her upcoming U.S. arena run is as much a career-spanning celebration as it is a victory lap for one of the most successful artists of all time proving that there’s no such thing as one career peak.

May

May 19 & 20 - Sting 3.0 @ Red Rocks
Sting is back in town and reincarnated. In his latest rendition, the former Police lead singer will perform as a trio alongside guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. Diving into his greatest hits, the trio has intimate stops planned across the U.S. and some special dates in store at none other than Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

May 23, 2025 - Leon Bridges @ Red Rocks
Warm soul-bearing singer Leon Bridges is heading back to Red Rocks following the release of his eponymous new album. The throwback crooner has made a name for himself with his vintage style that recalls the likes of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding over any modern-day figureheads of the genre. In that way, imagine turning the FM dial to the golden oldies station, grabbing a whiskey on the rocks and dancing in the living room with someone special — that’s the feeling you get from a Leon Bridges show, and Red Rocks is no exception.

May 31 & June 1, 2025 - Outside Festival @ Civic Center Park
Music lovers—as well as outdoor lovers—have something special to look forward to with headliners Khruangbin, Lord Huron, Sylvan Esso, Trampled by Turtles, Neal Francis, Waxahatchee, Husbands and Hazlett. Expect more artists to be announced soon as the expanded festival returns for its second year.

June

June 10, 2025 - Coldplay @ Empower Field at Mile High
The "Music of the Spheres" world tour is coming to Denver in the biggest way possible by booking the city's largest venue. Oh, and there's a mystery guest, too. These British rockers have been going at it since 1997 with no signs of slowing down.

June 17, 2025 - Andrea Bocelli w/ The Colorado Symphony @ Ball Arena
The generational talent that is Andrea Bocelli will light up Ball Arena with his timeless voice and his operatic classics this year. As one of the most cherished figures within the classical space, Bocelli’s presence in Denver always warrants a journey to the grandeur of times past. This time, the Colorado Symphony is onboard, making the time all the more decadent of an experience.

August

Aug. 7, 2025 - GHOST @ Ball Arena
Promising a phone-free experience is the newest trick up the sleeves of one of hard rock’s most inventive and enigmatic acts on the road today, GHOST. The theatrical outfit, known for their elaborate costumes and religious tropes are standout in the genre and truly an act that changes their own rules every time they hit the road. If nothing else, rest assured, their oft-lauded live show will be nothing short of spirited.

Aug. 14 & 15, 2025 - Mt. Joy w/ The Temper Trap @ Red Rocks
Mt. Joy is plotting a return to The Mile High City, and with them is the newly active indie rock act, Temper Trap. At this point, you could probably make the case that Red Rocks is a second home for the folk-rock act, by their near annual albeit sold-out appearances at the venue. That’s not to say, however, that the Temper Trap is anything to gloss over. Known for early aughts anthems like “Sweet Disposition” and “Love Lost,” The Temper Trap’s appearance at Red Rocks is as surprising as it is unmissable.

Aug. 26, 2025 - Teddy Swims @ Red Rocks
Grammy-nominated, Best New Artist, Teddy Swims had a massive year in 2024, and he’s just announced his victory lap. With his massive tune, “Lose Control,” leading the charge for the immensely talented singer, Swims is fixing to wail and wallow in the bluesy soul sound that has made him a household name this year.

September

Sept. 3, 2025 - Linkin Park @ Ball Arena
Linkin Park is back with a vengeance. The dormant group, put on pause indefinitely by the passing of former lead singer, Chester Bennington, is back with a new attitude and a new singer. Toeing the line of paying tribute to what came before and boldly moving into a brave new future, Linkin Park, having just recruited new lead singer Emily Armstrong, is hitting the ground running with a chip on their shoulder to prove again why they are one of the biggest and most influential bands of their time. For anyone who has missed the feeling of screaming at the top of their lungs and rapping with pre-pubescent angst, this one is for you

Sept. 20, 2025 - Tate McRae @ Ball Arena
Vying for the title of the “It girl” for Gen Z, Tate McCrae is poised to deliver on all the promises and favors the industry has placed upon her. A dance and diligent pop singer of the Y2K variety, Tate McCrae has injected a much-needed light-hearted bop energy back into pop music, and lord knows, we need it.
