Concerts in Denver This Weekend: October 2-4, 2026
Hermanos Gutierrez play an all-instrumental 7 PM set at Mission Ballroom Saturday, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers take the Gothic on Friday, and Cervantes runs back-to-back nights with Artikal Sound System and Dimond Saints, October 2-4, 2026.
1. Artikal Sound System with Bumpin Uglies and Ghost.wav at Cervantes
Florida reggae-rock at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom in Five Points on Friday, with Bumpin Uglies and Ghost.wav opening. Three bands on one ticket is the correct way to spend a Friday in a room this size. Doors, age policy and ticket price are on the Cervantes listing for the date, and the Welton Street side streets fill early.
2. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers
Clyne fronted the Refreshments, who recorded the theme to King of the Hill, which means a room full of people at the Gothic on Friday will know one guitar part by heart without knowing why. The Peacemakers formed in 1998, have released their music independently ever since, and throw their own Circus Mexicus down in Puerto Penasco, so the crowd skews devoted rather than curious. The floor is general admission standing and the balcony seating at the Gothic is limited, so get there at doors if sitting matters to you.
3. Dimond Saints: Mirror Mirror Tour at Cervantes
Saturday at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom in Five Points, the Mirror Mirror Tour, with Huck.Jorris and Orenda opening. This is the late-night half of Cervantes' weekend, after Friday's reggae-rock bill in the same room. Ticket and door details are on the venue listing.
4. Hermanos Gutierrez at Mission Ballroom
No singer, no filler, two guitars doing all of it. The brothers play entirely instrumental sets on the Los Ojos del Condor tour and they hit Mission Ballroom in RiNo at 7 PM Saturday, which is earlier than most shows in that building, so do not plan a leisurely dinner first. Sixteen and over, tickets from about $83 on AXS before AXS finishes adding things to the total. It is the best-sounding ticket of the weekend and the most expensive, in that order.
5. Jane Remover at Gothic Theatre
Hyperpop one record, shoegaze the next, and the live show is where the two arguments get settled. Saturday at 7 PM at the Gothic, 3263 South Broadway in Englewood, with Dazegxd supporting. All ages with no age restriction, which is rare for that room and the whole point of going young. Tickets run through Ticketmaster's Gothic Theatre page.
6. The King Penny Radio Show at the Arvada Center
A vintage radio-style stage production at the Arvada Center on Saturday, part of the Center's fall performance calendar. The listing is thin and we are not going to pad it for you. If old-time radio staged live sounds like your night, the Arvada Center box office has the details, and the Center's two free 50th-anniversary gallery shows are in the same building.
