As arguably Denver’s biggest-selling and best-known band, The Lumineers can easily sell out massive local venues such as Red Rocks and Fiddler’s Green amphitheaters. But the band is going small-scale for its Sept. 14 concert at the Boulder Theater by offering an intimate “evening with” set. With the event right around the corner, tickets for the all-ages concert are on sale starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 10. ($75, bouldertheater.com)
Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz is headed to Boulder Dec. 17-18 for a short run at the University of Colorado’s Mackey Auditorium.

Tickets for the all-ages shows, with support from Toca Rivera and Gregory Page, are on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 17. ($51-$91, axs.com)

Given how common COVID-prompted cancellations and postponements have become in recent weeks, it’s encouraging to see shows that are actually being rescheduled.

Like many of these postponed concerts, refunds are ONLY available within 30 days of the show being rescheduled (in this case), starting Thursday, Sept. 9). Refunds are available at the point of purchase, and new tickets for the all-ages concert are on sale. ($40-$60, bouldertheater.com)
