Country artists Darius Rucker and Cole Swindell have announced performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2026 as part of their respective tours. Rucker's Songs of Summer Tour will stop at the venue on July 25, while Swindell returns on September 9 following his sold-out 2024 debut. Tickets for both shows go on sale February 27.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver is set to host a busy 2026 concert season, with announcements this week including shows by Darius Rucker and Cole Swindell. The venue is undergoing upgrades, including a new permanent merchandise stand and an east-facing terrace, both expected to be completed by spring.
Darius Rucker's 20-city Songs of Summer Tour will perform at Red Rocks on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The show features support from Old Crow Medicine Show and Austin Williams. A presale begins Wednesday, February 25, at 10 a.m., with general tickets available Friday, February 27, at 10 a.m. via AXS.com. Rucker described the tour's theme, saying, “For me, it’s not summer if we’re not playing music outdoors. When I think of the concerts I love attending, it’s the people, the hits and the hot summer air… there’s nothing that compares, so Songs of Summer in a lot of ways is my nod to being in that moment together.” The tour also includes a stop at Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Thursday, June 25, 2026, with special guests Lauren Alaina and Austin Williams. Tickets for that show go on sale March 6 at 10 a.m.
Cole Swindell will return to Red Rocks on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, joined by Blackhawk and Zach John King. His presale starts Tuesday, February 24, at 10 a.m., followed by general sales on February 27. Swindell sold out his Red Rocks debut in 2024 and will perform at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheatre in Vail the next night, September 10.
Other 2026 Red Rocks announcements include Rezz's Rezz Rocks VIII on October 3 with Frost Children, KAVARI, Izzy Camina, and Sakr, and Jon Bellion's debut headline show on June 11, marking his return to the Denver area after seven years.
