If the Telluride Bluegrass Festival has been on your bucket list, there’s still time to cross it off in 2025.
Zach Tucker, vice president of the fest’s production company Planet Bluegrass, tells The Denver Post there are “a fair amount” of tickets still available for this year’s event at shop.bluegrass.com. That includes passes to two campgrounds outside of downtown Telluride.
The fest (June 19-22) is one of the town’s most popular summer gatherings, welcoming about 12,000 people per day to enjoy live music in the scenic box canyon.
It’s too early to say which concerts will define Denver’s 2025 music scene, but one thing’s certain: country music is having another huge moment.
Last year seemed to be the plaything of Taylor Swift and her blockbuster Eras tour, which took over Empower Field at Mile High for a pair of shows in July, and sold out tens of thousands of tickets in minutes.
That was a publicity mirage: equally ascendant, if not more so, was the diverse and platinum-selling world of singer-songwriter country music, ranging from crossovers such as Jelly Roll, Beyoncé and Shaboozey to stalwarts like Keith Urban, Gillian Welch and (of a more recent vintage) Sturgill Simpson, Charley Crockett and the explosive Sierra Ferrell.
Notably, 2024 also saw shows from Morgan Wallen, Kenny Chesney, and Zach Bryan at the 76,125-seat Empower Field — following country concerts there from Luke Bryan, George Strait, and Luke Combs in recent years.
On a slightly smaller scale, we also saw Coors Field performances (capacity: 50,398) from Billy Joel and Green Day — though none have yet been announced for this year — and huge country-folk runs at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (capacity: 18,000) from Kacey Musgraves, Dan + Shay, Billy Strings, Cody Johnson and Hootie & the Blowfish.
That’s not even mentioning the variable-capacity Mission Ballroom, the Fillmore Auditorium, historic theaters, and the independent clubs that keep Denver’s folk, punk, hip-hop, metal, country, and jazz scenes alive.
Here are 10 of this year’s biggest shows, with tickets already on sale for each.

The drive up to Phulari viewpoint snakes for three miles along dirt tracks flanked by flowering pyoli plants and murals of flaming phalluses, a traditional good-luck symbol here in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan.
