Blues Traveler knows it just wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without a visit to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The harmonica-fronted band, best known for ’90s radio staples like “Hook” and “Run-around,” will bring blues guitar prodigy Jonny Lang along for the ride. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ($37.50-$45, Ticketmaster)
Dave Matthews Band inspires a devotion in its fans that borders on the mystical. That helps explain why on May 30 the band will embark on its third stint supporting 2005’s platinum-selling “Stand Up.” Expect seats for its Sept. 12 concert with Robert Randolph & the Family Band to go fast. Tickets for the Pepsi Center show go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ($59.50, Ticketmaster)
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor reasserted himself with last year’s “With Teeth,” the long-awaited next chapter in the industrial/goth innovator’s catalog. He visits Red Rocks on May 30 backed by Bauhaus (a band that got Reznor started) and Brooklyn indie darlings TV on the Radio. Tickets on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ($45, Ticketmaster)
Snow Patrol’s subtle indie pop took a while to gain momentum, but now that it’s rolling the band seems unstoppable. The Scottish group will visit the Paramount Theatre with Augustana and The Duke Spirit a couple of weeks after its new record, “Eyes Open,” drops in the U.S. Tickets for the May 23 show go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ($25, Ticketmaster)
