Things to Do in Denver This Weekend (November 6–8)

November in Denver means patio season is basically over but the nightlife calendar doesn't care. This weekend you've got Red Rocks doing double duty on bass music, a drag crawl across half of Lavender Hill, and enough comedy and DJ sets to fill every night through Sunday. Grab your warmest jacket and figure out your Uber budget now.

Friday

Dabin, William Black, Chyl, Frosttop, Paper Skies at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 6:30pm. Future bass and melodic dubstep outdoors in November, bring layers, this one will sell out.

Houndmouth at Mission Ballroom, 8pm. Americana that's built for singing along with a beer in hand, no ear plugs required.

Denver Drag Showcase '26 across Lavender Hill venues (Charlie's, Champagne Tiger, Clocktower Cabaret, Mile High Mary's, Wild Tulips, X Bar), starting 6pm. First citywide drag crawl of its kind here, hit a few spots and make a whole night of it.

Mary Droppinz at Ogden Theatre, 8pm. UK garage and bass music, 16+, a solid warmup before you move on to a later dance floor.

Tracks First Friday at Tracks, 9pm. Denver's monthly lesbian night with DJs and dancing as part of RiNo's First Friday lineup.

Global Dance Presents Darude at The Church Nightclub, 10pm. Yes, that Darude, trance and progressive house inside a converted church. $15, 21+.

Don't Tell Comedy at REV'IT! Denver, 6:30pm. No lineup announced until you're in the room, that's the whole point.

Saturday

ATLiens at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 6pm. Heavy bass and a stage show built for that venue, this one will sell out so don't wait.

6LACK, Eem Triplin at Fillmore Auditorium, 7pm. Ten years of 6lack, R&B that lands harder live, this will sell out.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings at Ball Arena, 7pm. An upper bowl seat and an overpriced beer still beats most concert nights on this list.

Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country at Mission Ballroom, 8pm. Guitar heavy psychedelic country that feels like a porch jam that wandered onto a real stage.

Ali Wong Live at Bellco Theatre, 8pm. Baby Cobra made her a household name, this will sell out, get tickets now.

Cut Copy (DJ Set) at Meow Wolf, 8pm. Synthpop legends spinning inside Convergence Station. $25, 18+.

Comedy Queens: A Drag Comedy Experience at RISE Comedy, 8pm. Local drag queens running stand-up and improv, a solid monthly tradition.

Sunday

311 at Mission Ballroom, 8pm. Still touring 35 years in, prime nostalgia if "Down" lived on your high school playlist, this will sell out.

Nate Todd w/ The Spritz, Ducky + Mistah Ish at Globe Hall, 5pm. $20, 21+, a mellow way to close out the weekend with solid local openers.
