There are plenty of Upcoming Shows to be at this month, including Nashville Pussy, Deadmau5, Lola Black and more
Wednesday - Dec 16, 2015
Nashville Pussy / In The Whale
Bluebird Theater
Quite possibly the most debaucherous appearances heading our way in December comes from a co-headlining anomaly of energetic proportions. Nashville Pussy is classic southern rock with a heavy twist in every sense of the phrase. Nothing could compliment its fervent style any better than the local stars In The Whale, either. Plan to get sweaty, plant to get sore, and plan to get yelled at to “wake the fuck up Denver” on more than one occasion. Things are about to get weird. Appearances so massive, they put both bands at the top!

Silversun Pickups
w/ Foals
Ogden Theatre
It’s not uncommon to watch bands top out, deliver their finest work and then slowly fade into oblivion. But wait! That hasn’t happened with Silversun Pickups. Its newest album, Better Nature, is just as mesmerizing as when they hit the scene in 2006 with Carnavas. To longevity!

Thursday - Dec 10, 2015
Trev Rich
w/ AP, L-Keys, DJ Squizzy Taylor and more!
Bluebird Theater
There aren’t enough fire emojis in the world to describe how unrivaled CO’s hip-hop scene is right now. This lineup, complete with a bounty of worthwhile artists and emcees, is one to catch for seasoned heads and newcomers alike. Be able to say, “you knew them when.”

Saturday - Dec 12, 2015
De La Soul
w/ special guests
Cervantes' Masterpiece
Speaking of hip-hop, can we take a quick moment to digest the fact that the iconic De La Soul will be in town? Often imitated, never emulated, the legendary emcees are set to bring down the house with the heat from its non-stop East Coast flavor.

Thursday - Dec 17, 2015
Rev Horton Heat
w/ The Bell Rays and Lords of Altamont
Fox Theatre
The Rev’s back! Psychobilly still is, and always has been, a hot commodity here, which is why the Rev likes to visit often. The repeated visits never make for a stale performance, however, because even in his mid-50s, Jim Heath is a musical monster.
----------
Friday - Dec 18, 2015
Lola Black’s XXXMas
w/ Davey Suicide, No Small Children and more!
Gothic Theatre
Lola Black’s annual XXXMas show is a night that no self-proclaimed lover of all things rock is allowed to miss. Black and her band have been on a steady rise in this town for a minute, and the heady spectacle behind it all proves why.
----------
Saturday - Dec 19, 2015 — Sunday - Dec 20, 2015
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
w/ Land Lines and Caroline Rose
Ogden Theatre
Though Nathaniel Rateliff has been a Colorado staple for many, many years, it wasn’t until he performed on The Tonight Show with his Night Sweats that his soul/blues act really blew off a few lids. The band’s song “S.O.B.” is a hit.
----------
Tuesday - Dec 22, 2015
Slim Jesus
w/ special guests
Bluebird Theater (Moved to Lost Lake)
When viral “stars” blow up because of wayward clicks and views — even when people share bad videos in jest or disapproval — you better believe the money train will be ransacked at some point. Slim Jesus having a viable career is your fault. For shame.
----------
Wednesday - Dec 30, 2015
People Under The Stairs
w/ Kind Dub
Aggie Theatre
As far as hip-hop is concerned, this month is hosting greats from one side of the nation to the other. People Under The Stairs is an LA-based crew, and has been since the late ‘90s. With a ton of material in tow, expect a solid performance.
----------
Wednesday - Dec 30, 2015 — Thursday, Dec 31, 2015
Decadence 2015
w/ Bassnectar, deadmau5, Jack Ü and more!
Colorado Convention Center
As the largest New Year’s Eve party in the region by an only slightly exaggerated shit-ton, Decadence often brings in the world’s top performers to satisfy everyone’s electro-urges. Aside from baller headliners, watch out for The Floozies, Galantis, Gareth Emery and many more coming to town.
Thursday - Dec 31, 2015 — Saturday - Jan 2, 2016
String Cheese Incident
1st Bank Center
New Year's Eve 'round these parts lays host to a ton of return acts that garner massive crowds each and every time they come through. It's tradition to have acts like Devotchka, Umphrey's McGee, Boombox and String Cheese Incident help us ring in the new new. It works, the hell would we diddle around with tradition for?
