In our cancel culture world, we are sure happy that Red Rocks is not canceled and will be back better than ever with their 2021 concert lineup…and COVID precautions in place!
Concerts are subject to change but the current 2021 schedule spans from April 16 with Ganja White Night through October 12 with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (anyone else sensing a pattern here?) Add some pretty equally awesome bands including Goo Goo Dolls with Lifehouse, Journey, An Evening with Chicago and Their Greatest Hits, Barenaked Ladies with Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Of course, there is no concert venue in the world like Red Rocks Amphitheater but does anyone’s back start hurting from the bench seats after a couple of hours? We had a good chuckle over this heated stadium bleacher seat with a folder portable chair and 5 reclining positions (it costs less than you might think; perhaps the perfect gift for Mother’s or Father’s Day, along with an awesome date night to see your favorite band?)
