Bask in the Glow: Lorde Live at Red Rocks & Where to Stay Nearby

Few concert experiences in the world compare to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and this October, the stage belongs to one of pop’s most captivating voices, Lorde. On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, fans will gather under Colorado’s autumn skies to sing along to hits like Royals and Solar Power in one of the most breathtaking outdoor venues on Earth.

If you’re planning your trip, here’s everything you need to know about the show, plus where to stay for the ultimate Colorado getaway.

Why This Red Rocks Show Is Unmissable

Lorde at Red Rocks is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about concerts of the season. With Blood Orange and The Japanese House joining as supporting acts, the evening promises a mix of soulful pop, indie dreamscapes, and the ethereal energy only Red Rocks can deliver.

Set against the glowing sandstone formations, with crisp fall air and starry skies overhead, Lorde’s haunting melodies will feel even more magical. Concerts at Red Rocks often sell out quickly, and lodging nearby is just as in demand. That’s where smart planning (and booking your stay early) comes in.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Red Rocks Concert

A Red Rocks show is more than a concert, it’s an experience. Here are insider tips to maximize your evening:

1. Arrive Early for Parking & Views

Parking fills fast, especially on weeknights when everyone’s rushing in after work. Arrive 1–2 hours early, grab your spot, and enjoy the sunset views from the top of the amphitheatre.

2. Dress in Layers

October evenings in Morrison can dip into the 40s, especially after dark. Bring a light jacket or blanket—you’ll thank yourself when the wind picks up.

3. Fuel Up Before the Show

Nearby Morrison has cozy restaurants perfect for pre-show bites. A few local favorites:

1. The Cow, An Eatery – famous for burgers and milkshakes
2. Tony Rigatoni’s Italian Kitchen – hearty pasta dishes
3. Red Rocks Beer Garden – craft brews and laid-back vibes

4. Skip the Driving Stress

Parking exits can get congested post-show. Consider rideshare drop-off, a shuttle service, or staying just minutes away in Golden, Lakewood, or Morrison.
