TL;DR

GRiZ has announced a two-night run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 2-3, 2026, his first headline shows at the venue in five years and his first Denver-area performances since returning from hiatus. Night one will feature a 'Chasing The Golden Hour' sunset performance plus his headline set, while night two will include two GRiZ sets separated by an intermission. $1 from every ticket will benefit the GRiZ Charity Network.

The Denver-based electronic music producer has announced a two-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, scheduled for September 2-3, 2026. The shows mark his first headline performances at the iconic open-air venue in five years and his first Denver-area appearances since returning from a hiatus.

Night one will feature a Chasing The Golden Hour sunset performance in addition to his headline set. Night two will include a pair of GRiZ sets separated by a brief intermission.

Red Rocks Legacy and Community Focus

Over the last decade, Red Rocks has become deeply tied to GRiZ's lore, serving as the site of many prized performances and his beloved Free Shows For The People events. The producer has long balanced his Detroit roots with a strong Colorado identity, building a career around sax-infused bass and future-funk music as well as a community-first ethos.

Continuing his ongoing philanthropic work, $1 from every Red Rocks ticket sold will be donated to the GRiZ Charity Network, supporting music education, harm reduction programs and community-focused charitable efforts.

Active Comeback Year

The announcement arrives during one of the most active stretches of GRiZ's career. His recent comeback included the launch of his own festival, Seven Stars, a sold-out event that drew more than 22,000 fans to Virginia, as well as his first-ever GRIZTRONICS at The Gorge weekender with Subtronics. He also dropped a surprise Do LaB set at Coachella and released Future Funk Volume 1, his first full-length album since returning.

A pre-sale will launch Thursday, June 18 at 10am MT before the general on-sale begins the same day at 2pm MT.
