SHOWS
4. LANE 8
Kicking off our list is an incredible show coming to Civic Center Park – Lane 8’s Summer Gathering. As if the stacked lineup wasn’t enough to get you in the door, this show is a phone and photo-free space making it a once in a lifetime experience you need to see to believe. Tickets are still available and can be found here.
5. YOKE LORE
If Colorado had a playlist, this next artist would be on repeat.
Next on our list of must-see shows this September is one of our favorites, Yoke Lore. We were lucky enough to see him at Mission earlier this year and are so excited to catch his headlining show at The Gothic on the 11th. Be sure to grab your tickets before they’re all gone.
6. BETTLEJUICE
Rounding out our list of must-see shows is Beetlejuice – The Musical.
Running September 5-17 at The Buell Theater, it’s a great way to experience this new take on the frightfully delightful story we all know and love. A limited number of tickets are still available but won’t last for long.
