Monday’s Red Rocks concert canceled due to high winds

DENVER (KDVR) – Red Rocks Amphitheatre announced that Monday’s concert with Hippo Campus is canceled due to strong winds across the state.

High wind speeds across Colorado have already delayed morning commutes, knocked down trees and canceled flights.

Winds were so strong this morning that the weather pushed over an overhead pole on Interstate 25 causing major backups.

In some areas, the wind speeds are expected to reach 40 mph and some areas are expecting wind gusts as high as 80 mph.

On Monday morning, the concert venue announced on X that the show was canceled. The band also posted on X stating that local authorities decided to cancel the show.

“We want nothing more than to be with you all tonight but in order to ensure everyone’s safety we have no option but to cancel,” said Hippo Campus on X.

According to Red Rocks, refunds will be automatically processed for ticket holders who purchased tickets on AXS.
