Metallica headlines performances in Denver this summer
Summer in Denver is all about high energy, high altitude, and even higher decibels. As the sun turns your sidewalk into a skillet and your drink sweats like it just ran a 5K, Empower Field at Mile High is tuning up for a music season that feels like someone hit shuffle on your dream playlist.
Whether you're into cinematic soundscapes, symphonic showstoppers, or groove-drenched funk that makes your shoulders shimmy on command, Denver’s summer lineup has a little something for every kind of eardrum. And yes, don’t be surprised if a violinist moonwalks across the stage like it's perfectly normal behavior.

And yes, don’t be surprised if a violinist moonwalks across the stage like it's perfectly normal behavior.
Strings attached
Leading the charge is Lindsey Stirling—a violinist who's also a dancer and fantasy fan. She's known for her lively performances and outfits straight out of a fairy tale. Stirling doesn't just play the violin; she makes it come alive. With an orchestra by her side, it feels more like being part of an epic adventure. Get ready for spins, fireworks, and maybe even an imaginary dragon.
Next, the Colorado Symphony brings dinosaurs back to life—figuratively speaking. They’re playing live music for the Jurassic Park movie, showing on the big screen. This mix of classic cinema and live music gives you the thrill of a T-Rex chase with the class of a symphony performance. Ever wanted to feel fancy while watching a Jeep escape a dinosaur? Here's your chance.
And then there's Andrea Bocelli, the incredible tenor whose voice fills entire stadiums. At Empower Field, Bocelli's opera will transform the space into a grand cultural arena, proving opera is for everyone, not just those in high society.

Funk, fire, and metal mayhem
If classical music isn't your thing, how about Earth, Wind & Fire turning Empower Field into a giant disco ball? With songs like "Boogie Wonderland" and "September," they’ll get you dancing and forgetting about all your worries.
No summer is complete without some rock, and Metallica will be rocking the stage for not one, but two nights. They prove that rocking out with pyrotechnics is still a hit. Also performing are Coldplay, Post Malone, and The Weeknd, offering something for everyone.
