🎶 5 Tips for Having an Awesome Night at Red Rocks
If you’ve never been to a show at Red Rocks, get ready—because it’s not just a concert, it’s an experience. Between the jaw-dropping views, the unreal sound, and the electric crowd, it’s pure magic. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, here are five tips to help you have the best night ever:
1. Get There By Door Open
Red Rocks fills up fast, and parking can get chaotic. Plus, depending on where you park, you might be in for a solid uphill hike. This is why BusPartyCo arrives before the door open and drops you off right at top, so you can hustle in and get a good spot.
2. Layer Up
Red Rocks weather is unpredictable. It might be sunny and 75 during the opener and drop 20 degrees by the headliner. Bring a hoodie or light jacket, and don’t forget comfy shoes for those legendary stairs.
3. Hydrate (and Then Hydrate Again)
You’re a mile above sea level, and that altitude hits different—especially with alcohol. Drink water before and during the show to avoid dehydration, headaches, and feeling rough the next day.
💧Bonus tip: Reusable water bottles are allowed (empty at entry) and there are free refill stations!
4. Pack Smart
Red Rocks allows small bags, so make yours count. Essentials to bring:
ID & tickets
Sunglasses + sunscreen (for daytime shows)
Portable charger for your cell phone
Light snacks (you can bring snacks and unopened plastic bottles into the venue!)
Blanket or Scarf (for sitting on the steps) Check the venue’s website for the most up-to-date bag and item policy.
5. Join the Pre-Party Crowd
The vibe starts way before the first note. Pre-parties are where fans connect, swap stories, and get hyped for the night. Want to level it up? Join a fan club bus like BusPartyCo for a pre-show experience with drinks, music, and community—all leading up to a smooth ride to the venue.
Final Thoughts:
Red Rocks isn’t just a concert venue—it’s a bucket list destination. With a little prep and the right energy, you’ll have a night to remember under the stars and red rocks. See you on the stairs!
