Hey, I have some bad news. I spoke to a buddy that works for the production company for shows at Red Rocks. For reference they did audio, video, and lighting for 120 shows there last year. I have tickets for both Red Rocks dates so I asked him if he had any inside information. According to him and the talks they've had with LiveNation and AEG there won't be any full size shows or possibly none at Red Rocks until May/June 2021. They've also discussed pushing back to 2022 if there is another surge in cases. Unless they somehow refunded all the tickets and resell less tickets, which is very unlikely, it's not going to happen.

Yeah, no way by fall we’re having a 9k person concert anywhere (unless a treatment or vaccine comes out).

Hate to say it, but that’s just reality.

A November festival in the Netherlands here has already postponed to 2021. I guess this will happen for a lot

Common sense suggests this—flying in people from all over the place to hang out in one spot, with tons of shared facilities, months before there's a vaccine… Seems super super super unlikely to happen.

definitely, and of all the places to travel to in October, I doubt the US would be at the top of the band's list

In absolutely no way am I discrediting your comment, buuuuut part of me feels like the band would have waited to reschedule if Red Rocks hadn't yet decided to push everything back. Obviously I don't know the intrinsics of it but they obviously got the green light for October. Who knows.

I hope we get lucky and the show is allowed to happen as scheduled. This would be my first Red Rocks experience and I'd love for it to be my favorite band

Same here. I live in Dallas and every trip to Colorado is majestic but I’ve never made the hike to red rocks. Health comes first and one day we’re all gonna be enjoying back to back marathon sets in person. I’m cool with waiting. More anticipation and a better payoff!

It’s called kicking the can.

I got mine for the 13th! I'm cautiously optimistic. Good to have something to look forward to, though. Like hearing the Tale of the Altered Beast live. I hope they play that. All of it. 🤞

Yea the show at the greek got postponed as well. As hyped as I am to see them in such an amazing venue with a 3 hour long set, I don't think these shows will be happening anytime soon. I'd be very surprised if they happen before june or july of 2021.

By the time they can actually put on a concert, it'll have to be six hours long to accommodate all the new material!
