New in Denver This Week (October 26)

Monday means it's time to see what landed in the directory and what's worth locking down tickets for before it's too late. This week Denver got a serious wellness and fitness overload (we're talking reformer pilates, jiu jitsu, head spas, the works) plus a stacked next few weeks of shows at the Fillmore and Mission Ballroom.

Remember, "new" here means new to our directory, not necessarily a new business. Some of these spots have been around for years and just finally made it onto our radar.
