Brandi Carlile has confirmed a pair of performances at Morrison, Colo.’s hallowed Red Rocks Amphitheatre for September 6 and 7. For these special appearances, the 11-time Grammy-winning artist will appear alongside the Colorado Symphony, presenting new orchestral arrangements of key entries from her two-decade discography. These new dates enter a series of prestigious appearances planned by the singer-songwriter for this summer and early fall.
In an announcement posted to her social channels, Carlile elaborated on the structure of these performances, expressing a desire to “try something brave.” For the first night, September 6, the artist will appear solo with the orchestra, stripping down the scenery to “[n]othing but you and me and the power of the rocks” to embrace surprises, risks and intimate storytelling. For night two, the artist will compose a trio alongside The Hanseroth Twins, casting brilliant three-part harmonies against the resonant Rockies.
Carlile’s Red Rocks dates will follow five high-profile performances, beginning with the artist’s own Mothership Weekend music festival, which will figure her alongside acts like Black Pumas, Sara Bareilles, Bonnie Raitt, Nickel Creek and more in Maramar Beach, Fla. from May 10-12. Next, Carlile will hop to the Northeast to perform at Canandaigua, N.Y.’s CMAC on June 29 and Lenox, Mass.’s Tanglewood on July 30, followed by a headline performance at Redmond, Ore.’s Fairwell Festival on July 21.
On August 30, a slated performance alongside Lukas Nelson during Jazz Aspen Snowmass’ Labor Day Weekend Experience will bring the artist to the Centennial State, priming her for the Red Rocks run shortly following. After this special orchestral staging, Carlile will take part in Joni Mitchell’s highly-anticipated Joni Jam at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on October 19 and 20, which will finally cap off her 2024 touring schedule thus far.
Presale for Carlile’s Red Rocks concerts will begin this Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale following on Friday, March 29 at 10 a.m. local time. A ticket lottery is available now for members of The Bramily, Carlile’s official fan club. For tickets and more information, visit brandicarlile.com/tour.
