Muse adds to the trickle of show announcements from the newly christened Odeum venue, which officially opens March 5-6 with a pair of shows from Grateful Dead offshoot Furthur, featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir. The venue is getting a makeover from its former life as the Broomfield Event Center and, to our eyes and ears, holds great promise as another solid live-music spot for the area. Silversun Pickups will open Muse’s April 6 show. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($39.50-$49.50, TicketHorse) Rocky Mountain Folks Festival celebrates 20 years with its Aug. 13-15 run at Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons. Performers include the Swell Season, Ani DiFranco, Richard Thompson, Greg Brown, Marc Cohn, the Waifs, David Wilcox, Darrell Scott, Liz Longley and others. A limited number of holiday-priced three-day passes are available, with single-day tickets available in the spring. ($80, ) The 38th RockyGrass Festival is also readying its July 23-25 run at Planet Bluegrass Ranch, with confirmed appearances from Doc Watson, Sam Bush Bluegrass Band, Tony Rice Unit, Jesse McReynolds & Bobby Osborne, Bearfoot, Infamous Stringdusters, Seldom Scene and more. Check back here for updates and visit for $100 three-day passes. (Sorry, on-site camping is already sold out.) Pat Metheny Orchestrion is the acclaimed jazz musician’s latest project, a high-concept mix of mechanical and electronic elements used to produce a virtual, one-man orchestra. Slightly confused? Don’t worry — we are too, but we trust Metheny’s 17 Grammy Awards are a sign he knows what he’s doing. Tickets for the May 5 show at the Paramount Theatre on sale. ($45-$65, TicketHorse) Killswitch Engage postponed its South American dates due to lead singer Howard Jones’ gall stone a couple of months ago, but the East Coast metal group has lately been at it again, touring the U.K. and Europe before an end-of-the-year rest. The band returns to Denver for a March 13 Fillmore Auditorium show with openers The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Tranquility. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($26-$29, ) The Big Pink, one of the 2009’s most acclaimed electro-rock acts, returns to Denver from the U.K. to play the Bluebird Theater on April 11 with A Place to Bury Strangers. Tickets are on sale. ($15-$18, Ticketmaster) Editors will also make their way back across the pond for a Feb. 13 show at the Ogden with openers Antlers. The band started out as a sort of Interpol/Coldplay soundalike, but has lately distinguished itself with dark, addictive songwriting and rawer direction, borne out on new album, “In This Light and On This Evening.” Tickets are on sale. ($15-$20, Ticketmaster)
