DENVER – Red Rocks Amphitheatre continues to lead year-end music venue attendance rankings, according to Billboard Magazine, with Red Rocks being the most attended amphitheater in the world and the most attended outdoor venue in the United States.

 

The storied venue repeats as the second most attended venue in America behind New York’s Madison Square Garden, and fourth best attended venue in the world behind London’s O2 Arena, Madison Square Garden and Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional. 

 

“Colorado’s natural beauty, a unique history, an all-star line-up and fantastic fans are a hard combination to beat, and Red Rocks had all of it this year,” said Venue Director Tad Bowman.

 

Billboard’s reported attendance figures aren’t the only honors for Red Rocks. The Academy of Country Music named Red Rocks its Outdoor Venue of the Year, and digital music publication EDM Maniac’s EDMMY Award for Venue of the Year went to Red Rocks.

 

Billboard reported attendance of 1.6 million for the 2024 Red Rocks season (with its chart reporting cutoff date of October 1).  Red Rocks will self-report nearly 1.7 million ticketed patrons through the end of the season in November.
