The Star-Studded Lineup

Wiz Khalifa brings his fifteen-year legacy to Red Rocks, celebrating the anniversary of his breakout Kush & Orange Juice mixtape (2010) with the recent release of Kush + Orange Juice 2. The GRAMMY-nominated artist has sold over 100 million records worldwide and maintained his position as one of hip-hop's most consistent voices. His Red Rocks performances feature career-spanning setlists including "See You Again" (featured in Furious 7), "Black and Yellow," "Young, Wild & Free," and recent collaborations with Gunna and Don Toliver.

2 Chainz, one of hip-hop's most dynamic and successful artists, adds star power to the 420 Eve celebration. The Atlanta rapper's distinctive flow and chart-topping collaborations have made him a genre-defining figure. His presence guarantees high-energy performances and potential surprise guest appearances. Follow Wiz Khalifa on Instagram for lineup announcements and event updates.

Berner, cannabis entrepreneur and respected Bay Area rapper, represents the cultural intersection of hip-hop and cannabis advocacy. His Cookies brand has become synonymous with quality cannabis products, making his appearance at 420 Eve especially fitting. The Underachievers, the Brooklyn-based duo known for electrifying live energy and conscious lyricism, bring their Beast Coast sound to the Colorado mountains.

Chevy Woods, Wiz Khalifa's longtime Taylor Gang collaborator and Pittsburgh rap scene staple, completes the main lineup. DJ Bonics sets the tone for the evening with opening sets that prepare the crowd for hours of non-stop hip-hop excellence.

Red Rocks: The World's Greatest Venue

Red Rocks Amphitheatre stands as the only naturally formed, acoustically perfect outdoor music venue in the world. Located in Morrison, Colorado—just 15 miles southwest of Denver—the venue is carved into rust-red sandstone formations approximately 280 million years old. Two massive monoliths, Ship Rock and Creation Rock, tower 300 feet above the seating area, creating natural acoustics that legendary opera singer declared "acoustically perfect" over a century ago.

Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and opened in 1941, Red Rocks has hosted historic performances by The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, U2, Grateful Dead, and countless other icons. In 2021, Red Rocks was named the top-grossing and most-attended concert venue of any size, anywhere in the world. The venue hosts over 150 events annually from March through November, combining stunning natural beauty with cutting-edge production capabilities.

At 6,450 feet elevation, Red Rocks provides breathtaking views of the Denver skyline and Front Range mountains. The venue's open-air design means concerts occur rain or shine, with spectacular sunsets enhancing evening performances. Modern amenities include multiple concession stands, the Ship Rock Grille restaurant, accessible seating throughout, and free parking in surrounding lots. Check Red Rocks on Instagram for venue updates and event information.

Planning Your 420 Eve Experience

Arriving early is essential for Red Rocks events, especially high-demand shows like 420 Eve On The Rocks. Doors typically open 60-90 minutes before show time, allowing guests to explore the venue, purchase merchandise, and claim seats. The amphitheater opens at 5:30 PM for this event, with DJ Bonics starting the evening's entertainment.

Free parking is available in multiple lots surrounding the venue, with staff directing traffic to available spaces. The walk from parking to seats involves uphill hiking at high elevation—wear comfortable shoes and allow extra time. Rideshare designated zones provide alternative transportation options. The Red Rocks Shuttle offers round-trip service from downtown Denver locations including Union Station.

Colorado's April weather can be unpredictable. Daytime temperatures may reach 60°F while evening temperatures drop into the 40s. Dress in layers, bring sunscreen for daytime sun exposure, and consider bringing a light jacket for evening chill. Rain gear is advisable as shows proceed rain or shine. Reusable water bottles can be filled at stations throughout the venue—staying hydrated at altitude is crucial.
