Here are the Denver concert tickets on sale this weekend (April 12), with Muse, Lotus and more.
Muse, Pepsi Center,$39.50-$59.50
2012 album “The 2nd Law” sounds different from any other Muse release, but that’s because the British electro-rock act rebuilds its sonic identity with each new album. The group experimented more than usual on the eclectic “Law,” but we’re not worried that the live show will lack any of the usual melodic intensity. Muse recently added a Sept. 17date to its world tour, with openerCage the Elephant, and tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. ($39.50-$59.50, TicketHorse)
Kid Rock, Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, $20
is putting his working-class persona where his wallet is with the “$20 Best Night Ever Tour,” which featuresZZ TopandUncle Kracker. Besides the $20 across-the-board tickets, the Detroit rocker is vowing to lower prices on parking, beer and merchandise wherever possible. Rock says he’s taking a pay cut, but we have a feeling tour sponsors Walmart and Jimmy John’s may have something to do with the low prices. Tickets for the Aug. 3 stop atFiddler’s Green Amphitheatreare on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($20,)
Lotus, Red Rocks,$39.75-$45
