Got plans for Halloween weekend? With all the shows in the Boulder and Denver areas coming up this weekend, there’s no reason anyone’s costume should be left hanging in the closet. So pile on that face paint, put in those vampire fangs and get ready to do the creep at one (or more) of these various Halloween concerts – you couldn’t go to all of them even if you tried.
(All shows All-Ages unless otherwise noted.)
Friday, Oct. 28
Indie-gone-alternative outfit Cold War Kids to open up its two-day residency at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colo. as part of the Fox’s annual Halloween celebration. Tickets: $22. Doors: AA, with a $2 surcharge on under-21 tickets.
The “Nightmare on Blake Street” Halloween Bash to take place at Summit Music Hall, with local indie headliner My Body Sings Electric. Tickets: $10, or $8 with costume.
Ambient electronic indie duo Phantogram to play a signature subdued set at the Marquis Theatre in Denver. Tickets: $15.
DeVotchKa to play a non-Halloween themed set at the Ogden Theater in Denver in preparation for its Halloween party on Saturday in Boulder. Local indie-folk darlings Churchill to open. Tickets: $34.75.
Saturday, Oct. 29
Alternative hip-hop icons De La Soul to play an intimate set at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom with openers Black Sheep, the Foodchain and DJ Cavern. Tickets: $34.50.

Sunday, Oct. 30
The Motet’s only as-of-yet not sold-out Grateful Dead cover concert to take place at the Bluebird Theater. If interested, get tickets ASAP – this will likely sell out. Tickets: $25.
Monday, Oct. 31
Skrillex’s “Mothership Tour” is to make a massive whomp-filled stop at the First Bank Center in Broomfield, Colo. If you’re interested, you’ll have to be willing to part with some serious cash – this show’s been sold out for weeks, and tickets are currently hovering around $100 on Craigslist. Skrillex also has been booked at Beta Night Club for the following night, but regrettably, that show, too, is sold out.
