Fans of electronic music producer Of The Trees will have to wait another week for performances scheduled at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, as the venue took the rare step of postponing shows this week due to an ongoing winter storm.

“I’ve been trying to keep faith all week as snow has continued to dump down on Colorado, but alas: due to safety and inability to get the venue ready in time, the city is not allowing us to continue operating this weekend as planned,”

Concertgoers at Red Rocks have braved winter weather recently to see their favorite musicians perform — shows a packed amphitheater dancing in a snow shower — but with state agencies warning that multiple feet of snow could make travel dangerous, the drive to the venue in Morrison could be difficult or impossible for some.

Country singer Lynch’s Wednesday show at Red Rocks was previously pushed to April 16, 2025, while Of The Trees’ performances originally scheduled for Saturday and Sunday

According to the venue and musicians, tickets purchased for the original show dates will be good for the rescheduled dates.

Red Rocks spokesman Benjamin Heinemann said the venue consults with promoters and artists when deciding whether to postpone or cancel a show. He added that it is “relatively rare” for shows to be called off due to inclement weather, typically occurring no more than one to four times every year.

“It varies just as much as our weather here in Colorado,” he said.
