DENVER (KDVR) – It’s that time of year again when the pressure to get your friends and family the perfect gift comes to a boil.
In order to relieve that pressure, we’ve put together a list of local gift ideas you can grab before you set out on your holiday travels.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre tickets
The full calendar for the 2023 season over at Red Rocks is still being rolled out on a weekly, and sometimes daily basis, but there have already been a wide array of acts to pen their name to next year’s list of performers.
Artists like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Jason Isbell, Artic Monkeys and Tyler Childers are among those who’ve announced intentions to roll through the Red Rock Amphitheater sometime during 2023.
Ticket prices will of course vary, but to gift your loved ones entry to any of these shows ahead of the new year’s arrival may be both fiscally responsible and thoughtful.
