Concerts in Denver This Weekend: October 30 - November 1, 2026
deadmau5 closes the Red Rocks season with two costume nights, Itchy-O runs Hallowmass for two more at Summit, and Lucinda Williams plays a benefit for Swallow Hill's music school, October 30 - November 1, 2026.
1. deadmau5 Halloween at Red Rocks
Two nights of deadmau5 to shut the amphitheater down for the year, Friday and Saturday, both at 7:30 PM, with VOWWS, Josh Freese, Danny Lohner and PENULTIMATE opening Friday and the same bill back on Halloween. Resale starts around $98 with fees in. Costumes are encouraged both nights, which is a lovely idea right up until the sun drops behind the rocks, so build the fit around a coat you can actually stand in. These are among the final shows of the 2026 Red Rocks season.
Concerts2. Haunted Mansion: Loud Luxury, Bryce Alakai & MC4D
Loud Luxury headline the night before Halloween at the Fillmore, with Bryce Alakai, MC4D and Charlie Wonder filling out the bill. Doors 6 PM, show 7 PM, 16 and up with a valid ID, which rules out the all ages crowd and anyone who left a wallet in the car. Resale is running about $83 with fees. Capitol Hill, and October 30 has historically been a high demand date in that room.
3. Itchy-O Hallowmass: Mayat Ōm, Brief Creatures
Hallowmass is an annual production rather than a tour stop, and this year's featured movement is Mayat Ōm: Brief Creatures. Two nights, Friday and Halloween, at Summit Music Hall, 1902 Blake Street in LoDo, doors at 7 PM and show at 8, all ages. The Stampede Singers, a Lakota drum group, open both nights. Online seats run about $63 with fees through Ticketmaster, but service fee free hard tickets are sold in person at Off the Bottle, Twist & Shout Records and The Wizard's Chest, and driving to a record store to dodge a fee is a trade this desk will make every time.
Pick
Weird4. Spellaween II: Leah Culver, Spella, Sky, MoMaari
Leah Culver, Spella, Sky and MoMaari headline a bass night with full lighting and dancers at The Black Box on Friday. Twenty dollars general admission, plus another $5 at the door if you are under 21, 18 and up, doors at 9 PM and it runs until 1 AM. The private seating Basscouch Experience sold out before the show, so everyone else is standing for four hours. 314 East 13th Avenue, Capitol Hill.
5. Lucinda Williams Benefit Concert at Swallow Hill
Three Grammys and a catalog most songwriters would trade a decade for, playing a benefit for the nonprofit that teaches this city how to hold a guitar. Williams headlines Swallow Hill on Friday, doors at 6 PM and show at 7, with proceeds going to the venue's music education programs. Ticketed, and it is the marquee night of Swallow Hill's fall benefit series.
6. Julia Jacklin
Jacklin writes quiet, exact songs that nobody would schedule against Halloween, and the Gothic scheduled them against Halloween anyway. Saturday, show at 9 PM, 16 and over, in Englewood. Resale from about $50 with fees; the box office opens 30 minutes before doors and takes cash or card.
7. Monster's Ball ft. Beasts of No Nation
Cheapest ticket on this list and the earliest door, which together make it the only Halloween show here you can do before a party rather than instead of one. Beasts of No Nation, the Denver Afro funk collective led by Avery Jacob, headline at Spangalang Brewery on Welton Street in Five Points, $10, doors at 5:30 PM. Costume contest judging runs between sets, and advance tickets go through Eventbrite.
8. Sub.mission Presents: Monty X Apparition
Sub.mission takes The Black Box back on Halloween night with Monty X and Apparition, 24 hours after Spellaween II leaves the same room. Show at 9 PM. No ticket price has been published, so check the venue's page before you build a night around it.
9. Everclear
Listing this one because it matters to a specific kind of Sunday, and the Gothic is the right size room for it. Show at 8 PM, 16 and over, in Englewood, resale around $68 with fees. Box office opens 30 minutes before doors, cash or card.
10. Mohammed Assaf
Assaf won the second season of Arab Idol in 2013 performing 'Raise the Keffiyeh,' and UNRWA made him a goodwill ambassador for Palestinian refugees later that year, which is a resume nobody else playing Denver this weekend is carrying. Sunday at 6 PM at the Fillmore in Capitol Hill, an unusually early start for that room. Resale is steep at roughly $226 with fees, so try the primary seller first if anything is left there. Fillmore shows are generally 16 and up unless posted otherwise, with doors about an hour before.
11. Orville Peck w/ Abbie Callahan
Peck brings the Man Turned Mule Tour to Mission Ballroom with Abbie Callahan opening, and at roughly 3,950 capacity it is one of the largest touring stops Denver gets this fall. Sunday at 8 PM in RiNo, resale from about $56 with fees, sold through AXS. VIP packages on this run start near $171.10 all in, which is three general tickets with money left for parking, so decide what the upgrade is actually buying you.
