Bob Dylan is returning to Denver for a show at the new on Oct. 17, promoter AEG Presents Rocky Mountains announced today.
Tickets for the concert — billed as Bob Dylan and His Band — go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 13 via . The show is general admission with some reserved seating, with prices running from $75 (the cheapest) to $200, plus service charges. Ages 16 and up are welcome.
While Dylan has been known to play smaller venues in recent years — including Broomfield’s FirstBank Center in 2016, his last Denver-area appearance — his Denver return is notable since Mission Ballroom is so much smaller than the arenas Dylan could likely fill. AEG’s Mission Ballroom, a 60,000-square-foot space thatap designed to grow and shrink depending on attendance expectations, features a movable stage mounted on trolleys that can change the room from 2,200-capacity to 3,950-capacity.
The River North Art District venue, which opened in August, has already developed a reputation for underplays (acts that are far too big for their venue) and , although the Dylan show will most assuredly blow all of those out of the water.
“Thousands” of fans who tried for recent Tame Impala tickets at Mission came up empty-handed, Justin Jimanez, spokesman for AXS, told The Know last month, “even after blocking thousands of bot requests.”
Good luck, fans.
