Andrew McMahon bringing his piano-driven pop-rock to Boettcher Concert Hall with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra is a rare pairing for a Friday night, and it sits a few blocks from Macbeth at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Meanwhile Fear Factory’s industrial metal at the Oriental Theater on Saturday points the weekend somewhere much louder.

Andrew McMahon with Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Fri, Nov 13, 7:30 PM · Boettcher Concert Hall · from $34
McMahon, the frontman of Jack’s Mannequin and the Something Corporate songwriter, brings his piano-led pop-rock catalogue into a full orchestral setting. Expect the big choruses reworked with strings and brass in one of Denver’s best-sounding halls.
Opera Colorado: Macbeth at the Ellie Caulkins
Fri, Nov 13, 7:30 PM · Ellie Caulkins Opera House · from $140
Verdi’s dark Shakespearean opera, staged by Opera Colorado in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. It is a strong entry point for first-timers, with a tight running time and some of the most dramatic music Verdi wrote.
Fortune Feimster at the Paramount
Fri, Nov 13, 7:00 PM · Paramount Theatre – Denver · from $91
Feimster is a stand-up known for sharp, observational comedy and a memorable TV presence. The Paramount Theatre’s old-school room suits a headliner who plays well to a full house.
Fear Factory at the Oriental Theater
Sat, Nov 14, 7:00 PM · Oriental Theater – Denver · from $43
Fear Factory are one of the founding names of industrial metal, and their crushing, mechanical sound translates well to a theatre-sized room. Go early for the opening acts and expect a heavy, loud Saturday.
Sabados Sabrosos at La Rumba
Sat, Nov 14, 7:00 PM · La Rumba – CO · from $41
A Saturday Latin night at La Rumba, built around salsa, bachata and the dance floor. It is the easiest pick for anyone who wants to move rather than sit.
Los Gemelos de Sinaloa at the Fillmore
Fri, Nov 13, 7:00 PM · Fillmore Auditorium – Colorado · from $86
A regional Mexican band headlining the Fillmore Auditorium on Friday, bringing a bigger-room energy to the Latin lineup. Pair it with an early dinner downtown for a full evening.
The Carpenters Songbook at the Temple Hoyne Buell
Sat, Nov 14, 7:00 PM · Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre · from $128
A tribute show built around the close harmonies and soft-pop hits of the Carpenters, staged in the Buell Theatre. It suits a Saturday evening for anyone who grew up with those songs.
Joe Nichols at Grizzly Rose
Fri, Nov 13, 8:00 PM · Grizzly Rose · from $60
Country singer Joe Nichols, known for hits like Brokenheartsville, plays the Grizzly Rose on Friday. It is a classic honky-tonk setting for a traditional country night.
Salsa & Bachata Sundays at La Rumba
Sun, Nov 15, 7:00 PM · La Rumba – CO · from $25
A Sunday dance night at La Rumba that closes the weekend on rhythm. It is a relaxed way to end the three days and an easy pick for beginners.
TokiMonsta at The Church
Fri, Nov 13, 10:00 PM · The Church · from $41
TokiMonsta is a producer known for melodic, bass-leaning electronic music, and The Church is a compact club setting for her Friday set. It is the best bet for a late-night dance floor.
Several of these shows are at smaller clubs and may sell out, so check dates and book early for the headliners.
