This weekend in Denver: Jam with one of the hottest acts in country music, enjoy a brunch-themed bar crawl or see a hip-hop legend perform with the Colorado Symphony.
1. 🤠 Morgan Wallen
Country music star Morgan Wallen is in town for his "One Night at a Time" tour.
Why it matters: The chart-topping artist had the most-streamed song — "Last Night" — in Denver last year.
- This tour, which started in April 2023, is making its first stop in Mile High. The singer added Denver and nine other cities late last year.
The intrigue: Olivia Rodrigo is the only artist selling more tickets than Wallen nationwide this summer, according to SeatGeek.
- Rodrigo will perform at Ball Arena July 30.
If you go: Wallen's show starts at 5:30pm Friday at Empower Field at Mile High.
What to expect: Most of the setlist is from 2023's "One Thing at a Time."
