How this radar is built: official festival sites + venue calendars + music press, filtered through the groovesmaxxing taste (house · techno · indie dance, and bass/EDM-mainstream bills get skipped). Every date on this page was checked on the event's own page the day of the last refresh. Past dates hide themselves. Good self-serve sources between refreshes: EDM Train (nationwide tracker + per-city pages), Resident Advisor, 19hz.info, Dice, and the venue links above. Lineups and dates move. The official link is always the truth.
the follow list, live

on tour

where the artists we follow are playing next. swept nightly from ticketmaster across all 704 names on the artists, searchable by artist or city. lineups shift, so always confirm on the official link.

loading the radar…

nothing matches that. try fewer letters, or clear denver.

ticketmaster carries most us tours and misses plenty of club rooms and european dates, so an empty result means "not on ticketmaster," not "not touring." the curated monthly picks stay on the radar.

the field guide

denver venues

sixteen rooms where the grooves actually happen, from an 1865 cathedral to the big Red Rocks. we checked every single one, and every single one is open. the clubs first, then the big rooms.

the clubs · dance floors first

The Church

Capitol Hill · 1160 Lincoln St · cap ~1,550 · ages vary by night

four floors and a rooftop on Broadway with Funktion-One sound. the basement is where the proper house and techno lives.

Bar Standard

the house and techno room of the Broadway strip, inside an art moderne furrier building. TheHundred Presents runs the underground through here.

Milk

The Black Box

Capitol Hill · 314 E 13th Ave · cap ~350 · 18+

the big rooms · when the tour comes through

Larimer Lounge

RiNo · 2721 Larimer St · cap 250 · varies by show

the RiNo indie rock room since 2002 that moonlights in house. Open House is the series to watch.

Mission Ballroom

RiNo · 4242 Wynkoop St · cap up to 3,950 · varies by show

AEG's flagship with a movable stage, so a 2,200 cap night and a 3,950 one both feel right. the biggest house and techno tours land here.

Ogden Theatre

Capitol Hill · 935 E Colfax Ave · cap 1,600 · 16+ unless noted

a 1917 movie house on Colfax, the mid-size stop between the clubs and the arenas.

Fillmore Auditorium

Capitol Hill · 1510 N Clarkson St · cap ~3,900 · varies by show

Live Nation's big room in a 1907 roller rink. when Factory 93 brings warehouse techno to a few thousand people, it happens here.

Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom

Five Points · 2637 Welton St · cap ~1,500 both rooms · mostly 16+

a Five Points landmark that hosted Duke Ellington before it hosted hard techno. two rooms running jam to bass to club, SHIFT is the series.

a projection-mapped room inside Convergence Station. left-field house and techno with visuals no other room in town can touch.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

the icon. 9,525 seats in the rocks since 1941, and the top of every denver dance calendar.

ReelWorks

RiNo · 1399 35th St · cap 3,500 · varies by show

the warehouse. L-Acoustics sound, full projection mapping, and where the big touring techno and house actually lands.

Summit

Ballpark · 1902 Blake St · cap 1,100 · varies by show

Live Nation's club hall on Blake Street. leans bass and metal more than house, but the dance tours still stop here.

Gothic Theatre

Englewood · 3263 S Broadway · cap ~1,000 · 16+ unless noted

a 1925 art deco movie palace on south Broadway. melodic and left-field electronic between the indie and punk bookings.
