Concertgoers at Red Rocks have braved winter weather recently to see their favorite musicians perform — a video posted earlier this week shows a packed amphitheater dancing in a snow shower — but with state agencies warning that multiple feet of snow could make travel dangerous, the drive to the venue in Morrison could be difficult or impossible for some. Country singer Lynch’s Wednesday show at Red Rocks was previously pushed to April 16, 2025, while Of The Trees’ performances originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday were postponed to next weekend. According to the venue and musicians, tickets purchased for the original show dates will be good for the rescheduled dates. Red Rocks spokesman Benjamin Heinemann said the venue consults with promoters and artists when deciding whether to postpone or cancel a show.
