Country music comes to town – who will rock the Mile High City in 2026? | Music City Minute

Nov 26, 2025, 1:06 PM

As 2025 winds down, several major country stars are giving their fans a lot to look forward to in the New Year. Your boots and cowboy hat will be clocking overtime two-stepping at country shows across Denver. Empower Field at Mile High will be hosting Morgan Wallen for back-to-back shows May 29 and 30. Russell Dickerson’s Russellmaina will shake the boulders loose May 13 at Red Rocks. On April 16, Warren Zeiders (and his glorious hair) stops off at the Mission Ballroom and the “Gold Chain Cowboy,” Parker McCollum, brings the Texas heat to Red Rocks July 29. However, the latest concert announcement is as massive as that turducken Uncle Bob insists on frying for Thanksgiving. Zach Bryan will be bringing his special brand of beatnik country rock back to Broncos Stadium, August 13 and 14! Fans can sign up to win a pair of tickets for the August 13 show through the free 98.5 KYGO app. In addition, separate registration is open for an opportunity to participate in one of the presales leading up to the official on-sale date of December 5. Information for all of these concerts is available under the “Events” page at kygo.com.
