The Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series will be back this summer, and three of the shows have been announced ahead of the full lineup, and one is a country music legend! 

The annual concert series brings artists from all genres to the heart of the gardens at the UMB Bank Amphitheater on York Street, in one of the nation’s top botanic gardens. Denver Botanic Gardens said its summer concerts “offer an unrivaled ambiance of thousands of blooming plants and the crystal clear music of some of the world’s most sought­-after artists.”

The following artists will officially be a part of the 2024 concert series:

Emmylou Harris has united both country and rock audiences for over five decades now. She has earned 13 Grammy Awards, placed 27 singles into the top ten of the US country chart, and she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008. 

Tickets for the Summer Concert Series go on sale to the general public Monday, March 18, at concerts.botanicgardens.org.

The complete lineup will be announced on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
