Concerts in Denver This Weekend: November 6-8, 2026
November 5, 2026
Daniel Donato plays Mission Ballroom after Friday at Cervantes, Nekrogoblikon stacks three support bands into the Oriental, and Stella Heath sings Billie Holiday with a swing band in Lakewood, November 6-8, 2026.
1. Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country
Two nights in Denver, two different rooms. After Friday at Cervantes, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country plays Mission Ballroom with Rattlesnake Milk on Saturday, November 7. Doors at 7 PM, music at 8. AXS lists ages 16 and up; check Mission’s guardian policy if bringing someone younger. Use the official ticket page for current prices.
2. Nekrogoblikon with Aborted, Signs of the Swarm, and Party Cannon
Four bands, one of them named Party Cannon, in an old movie house on West 44th. Nekrogoblikon headlines with Aborted, Signs of the Swarm and Party Cannon under them at the Oriental Theater, 4335 West 44th Avenue in Berkeley, doors at 6 PM and music at 7 on Saturday November 7. All ages, with a 21 and up bar that checks ID inside. The venue's own listing spans $51.06 to $297.99, which is an absurd spread for a four band metal bill, so buy at the bottom of it and let somebody else fund the top.
3. Stella Heath and The Billie Holiday Project at Lakewood Cultural Center
Holiday's songbook needs a room where everybody shuts up, and a 7:30 start at a city theater delivers that in a way a bar never will. Stella Heath performs The Billie Holiday Project with a live swing band at the Lakewood Cultural Center on Saturday November 7, part of the LCC Presents 2026-27 season. Ticketed through the Center, in Belmar. The building's Corner Gallery is running a free holiday market by local makers that same weekend, so come early and browse on your way in.
4. Tank and The Bangas
Tank and the Bangas stopped trying to fit a genre box years ago, which is exactly why a theater serves them better than a festival side stage. The Grammy nominated New Orleans band headlines the Gothic at 8 PM Saturday November 7. Resale starts around $43 with fees included, and the door holds 16 and over with no exceptions. The Gothic sits on South Broadway in Englewood, walkable from the Englewood light rail station, which is the correct way to arrive.
5. Slothrust
Slothrust has been touring as a trio since 2010 and writes crooked, heavy indie rock that sounds better in a theater than it ever did through laptop speakers. Sunday November 8 at the Gothic in Englewood, show at 8 PM, 16 and over. Resale starts around $37 with fees in, the cheapest ticket on this list by a wide margin. One night on a national tour, not a residency, so there is no Monday to fall back on.
