After a damp, chilly edition of its annual Cultivate Fesitval last year featuring Best Coast, Okkervil River, Tennis and Grouplove, Chipotle is bringing its free shindig back to City Park — and it’s moved it up a couple months, which means the weather is most likely going to be more…
Welp, it’s supposed to snow tonight. I know, right? It’s April. Happy Monday from your own private rain cloud, eh? Oh well, what are ya gonna do? Happens. Talk to Prince. Sometimes it snows in April, evidently. The good news, though: Summer is coming! Proof? The lineup for the upcoming…

Update: Michelle Shocked is sorry. In a statement she sent to Bay Area public radio station KQED earlier today, she insists she isn’t homophobic, and says moreover that her words were taken out of context: “I do not, nor have I ever, said or believed that God hates homosexuals (or…
For the past five years, Sub.mission has proven that applying dedication to the purest form of a singular sound can take you very far. This year, the Sub.mission crew marks six years in the scene and there are a few big surprises in store for this year’s celebration. We spoke…
Bad news for Animal Collective fans. We just received word that the band will not be coming to Denver as planned this Friday, March 22. The reason: Avey Tare (aka David Portner) is suffering from a severe case of strep throat and is unable to perform. No word yet on…
Welp, it’s a wrap. No Morrissey, Denver. That’s the word. Whoever said they were just waiting for the word “postponed” to follow word of the new date to make up for his twice previously postponed Denver dates, you should start buying lottery tickets or something. Well, except that the date…

Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson at Red Rocks. Sweet Jesus! How has this totally obvious and sure-to-be-awesome pairing not happened before now is anybody’s guess. The music world’s O.G. shock rocker and his direct artistic descendent are slated to share a bill at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Monday, June 3…
If we didn’t know any better, we’d swear that Macklemore, who we literally just wrote about hours ago, is trying to establish residency in Colorado. To wit: He played our Showcase in June, followed by a show at the Ogden in December, a show at Red Rocks in February, he’s…
If you’re a jam fan, you must be positively overwhelmed with glee right now with the way the concert season is starting to shape up this year. Last night came word of a Disco Biscuits date at Red Rocks in April, and now comes word that Widespread Panic is pulling…
Earlier today on Facebook, Nathaniel Rateliff casually mentioned that Born in the Flood, the band he fronted before he became all chummy with the boys in Mumford & Sons, that reunited at the Gothic back in December, is playing tomorrow night at Lost Lake. If you’ve ever been to Lost…

This seemed all but inevitable the more folks saw Searching for Sugar Man, the outstanding documentary focusing on the awe-inspiring story of Sixto Rodriguez, aka Sugar Man — and that was even before the Oscar win this past weekend: Rodriguez, whom we picked at the top of our 25 best…
Do you heart Jethro Tull? If so, you better hold on to your hat, hombre. I’m about to flip your wig: For the first time in the States in more a decade, there’s a Jethro Tull Convention booked, and apparently, it’s happening here. (I know, right?!) Well, not here here,…
It’s all Morrissey all the time on Backbeat, apparently. In what can only be explained as the universe being charter member of the Cult of Moz (or just seriously coincidental timing), we’ve just received word that the one and only Steven Patrick Morrissey has rescheduled his upcoming Denver date. Postponed…
Umphrey’s McGee, due for a pair of sold-out dates at the Belly Up in Aspen on Wednesday, March 6 and Thursday, March 7, will be making its way back to Colorado this summer for a pair of dates, one for certain a show at Red Rocks on Friday, June 7,…
Brace yourself, my aging hipster friend: If you haven’t heard, your favorite band from nearly a decade ago is back together and playing shows again. While the Coachella date is the one that got everybody hyperventilating, the Postal Service’s tour actually kicks off a few days earlier in Reno. After…

Ah, nuts. We had a sinking suspicion that this would be the case when last week’s dates in Dallas and some other cities were pushed back. Turns out Morrissey will not be resuming his tour in Denver this coming Thursday night at the Buell Theatre as originally planned. The doctor…
