Shpongle’s two-day pass at the Fillmore and Beauty and the Beast at the Buell Theatre sit at opposite ends of the spectrum, one a psychedelic electronic showcase, the other a family-friendly Disney staple. Denver’s Friday leans hard into the 9:30-to-midnight club circuit, with Cervantes’ Masterpiece, the Mission Ballroom and The Church all running electronic bills within a few blocks of each other.

Shpongle at the Fillmore
Fri, Oct 23, 3:30 AM · Fillmore Auditorium – Colorado · from $132
The British psytrance-and-ambient duo has long been a fixture of the global chill-out scene, and a two-day pass at the Fillmore suggests an immersive, long-form night out. Expect layered soundscapes that reward settling in rather than dipping in and out.
Beauty and the Beast at the Buell Theatre
Fri, Oct 23, 7:30 PM · Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre · from $104
The Disney stage adaptation brings the animated story of Belle and the Beast to life with its full score of songs, lush costumes and big ensemble numbers. It is a good choice for families or anyone who wants a reliable, crowd-pleasing musical on a Friday night.
Tacarra Williams at Denver Improv
Fri, Oct 23, 7:30 PM · Denver Improv Comedy Theater · from $41
A stand-up set at the Denver Improv brings a more intimate comedy evening into the weekend’s mix. Small rooms like this one tend to reward a seat close to the stage.
AZ Chike at the Marquis Theater
Fri, Oct 23, 7:00 PM · Marquis Theater – CO · from $27
The Nigerian-American rapper and poet has built a following on lyrical, reflective hip-hop that pairs sharp wordplay with melodic hooks. The Marquis is a compact room, so the show should feel personal.
Com Truise at Cervantes’ Other Side
Fri, Oct 23, 8:30 PM · Cervantes’ Masterpiece – Other Side · from $70
Com Truise is a synth-driven electronic producer known for retro-futurist textures that draw on 1980s sound. The Other Side room is a good match for a late-set listening crowd.
Kettama at the Mission Ballroom
Sat, Oct 24, 8:00 PM · The Mission Ballroom · from $179
Kettama is a techno producer with a big-room sound that has made him a headline name on the festival circuit. The Mission Ballroom is one of Denver’s best-known club venues for this kind of night.
Krewella at The Church
Fri, Oct 23, 10:00 PM · The Church · from $48
The Chicago electronic duo Krewella mixes big-room energy with pop-leaning melodies that have won them a wide following. The Church offers a more intimate setting for their high-energy sets.
Demon Hunter at the Oriental Theater
Sun, Oct 25, 7:30 PM · Oriental Theater – Denver · from $36
The Christian metal band has been a steady presence in heavy music for more than two decades, mixing hard riffs with emotionally direct lyrics. The Oriental’s historic room suits a loud, communal show.
Red Shahan at Lost Lake Lounge
Sun, Oct 25, 8:00 PM · Lost Lake Lounge · from $59
Red Shahan is a country and folk singer-songwriter whose work leans on storytelling and acoustic warmth. Lost Lake is a relaxed room for a Sunday-evening set.
Vienna Boys Choir at Parsons Theatre
Sun, Oct 25, 5:00 PM · Parsons Theatre – Northglenn · from $66
The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the world’s best-known treble ensembles, with a centuries-old tradition of sacred and secular repertoire. A Sunday afternoon performance at Parsons Theatre in Northglenn makes for a gentle, classical close to the weekend.
Check dates and times before you go, since several shows run on different nights, and book early for the Buell and the Mission Ballroom, which tend to sell out.
