As the summer concert season kicks off, you’re probably starting to wonder what you can bring to Red Rocks. The rules have certainly changed over the years so it’s important to stay on top of it… so you don’t get any of your belongings confiscated or find yourself having to walk a mile back to your car to drop off that umbrella. It can be a pain, we know…

We know it’s never fun to follow the rules, but they’re there for a reason. Red Rocks Amphitheater is such a unique venue, really unlike anywhere in the world, and it’s important to follow the rules so everyone can have an enjoyable experience. I mean let’s be honest here, a lot of the time, tickets aren’t cheap so if some a$$hole is sitting in front of you with a giant umbrella blocking your view, you’re going to have a bad time.
