Andrea Gibson Red Rocks 2026 – Poetry at Red Rocks. And not just any poetry — the words of one of the most beloved and widely read spoken word artists in the world, performed live in the most acoustically extraordinary outdoor setting imaginable. Sunday, July 5, 2026 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. Andrea Gibson — Love Letter from the Afterlife — July 5.
The Colorado-based poet, performer, and activist whose words have moved millions through books, recordings, social media, and live performances — who received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2023 and has continued to write and perform with extraordinary courage and grace — brings their most personal show yet to the canyon walls of Red Rocks. Book your red rocks car service with Red Rocks Voyager and arrive at one of the most genuinely meaningful evenings of the entire 2026 Red Rocks season.
Andrea Gibson — The Poet Who Belongs at Red Rocks
Andrea Gibson is the author of multiple poetry collections, a two-time Denver Grand Slam champion, and one of the most widely shared spoken word artists in the world. Their words — about love, loss, identity, social justice, and the radical act of staying alive — have resonated with millions of readers and listeners across social media and live performance alike. Their 2023 cancer diagnosis led to a period of intense creative output — Lord of the Butterflies, You Better Be Lightning, and subsequent work that transformed personal crisis into art of extraordinary beauty and directness.
Love Letter from the Afterlife — the title of this Red Rocks show — speaks to exactly where Gibson is now: a poet who has looked mortality in the face and found more love to give. At Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where their voice will carry across the sandstone canyon in the stillness of a July Sunday evening, July 5 is going to be one of the most quietly extraordinary nights of the entire summer season.
