Dermot Kennedy — Dublin’s Voice at Red Rocks
Dermot Kennedy grew up in Rathcoole, County Dublin — immersed in the folk music traditions that became the emotional foundation of his artistry. His debut album Without Fear debuted at number one in the UK and Ireland. His follow-up Sonder repeated that feat — debuting at number one in the UK in 2022, making him one of only a handful of Irish artists to achieve back-to-back UK chart toppers. His baritone — raw, searching, capable of extraordinary emotional range — has made him one of the most compelling live performers in folk-pop globally.
Songs like “Outnumbered,” “Better Days,” “Glory,” and “Lost” have accumulated billions of streams and built a fanbase that experiences his music with the kind of intensity usually reserved for artists twice his age.
His Weight of the Woods Tour supports his most recent creative chapter — and his Red Rocks Amphitheatre date on October 17 is one of the most significant stops on the entire run. For the full 2026 Red Rocks season, see our latest concerts planned at Red Rocks 2026 schedule.
Jonah Kagen — The Perfect Opening Act for Dermot Kennedy
Jonah Kagen — the Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose warm, acoustic-forward folk pop has built a growing following through genuine songwriting craft — opens the October 17 show with his own emotionally direct set. His sound sits naturally in the same universe as Dermot Kennedy’s — confessional, melodic, and built around the kind of voice that carries in a natural outdoor setting. Arrive before 8 PM. Your car service denver to red rocks from Red Rocks Voyager makes that timing seamless on a peak Saturday fall evening.
Saturday October at Red Rocks — Why This Night Demands Pre-Booking
October 17 is a Saturday — peak traffic night of the week even in fall season, with Dermot Kennedy’s passionate fanbase traveling from across Colorado and beyond for a show of this significance.
