Red Rocks Amphitheatre has notched a new global record, with Billboard reporting that the Morrison venue is the most-attended amphitheater in the world for 2024, as well as the most-attended outdoor venue in the U.S.

Roughly 1.6 million ticketed patrons visited Red Rocks during the 2024 season, with Billboard’s chart reporting a cutoff date of Oct. 1, according to the city’s Arts & Venues, which owns Red Rocks. The historic venue will self-report close to 1.7 million ticketed patrons through the end of November, Denver officials added in a Monday statement.

“The storied venue repeats as the second most attended venue in America behind New York’s Madison Square Garden, and fourth best-attended venue in the world behind London’s O2 Arena, Madison Square Garden and Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional,” Billboard wrote.

The Academy of Country Music also named Red Rocks its Outdoor Venue of the Year for 2024, and digital music publication EDM Maniac’s EDMMY Award for Venue of the Year went to Red Rocks, according to Arts & Venues.

The honors have been flooding in since 2021, when Red Rocks roared back from pandemic closures and limited-seating shows to full concert glory. That year the amphitheater hosted nearly one million ticketholders and was the highest-grossing and most-attended venue in the world.

In 2022, the venue was booked nearly every night from April to November, with more than 150 concerts; the city reported that the venue directly employed 1,500 people during that season and supported about 5,500 jobs, representing an annual total of $216 million in income (paychecks) and $717 million in economic output in the metro area (spending).

Two years later, attendance had reached 1.4 million as the venue sailed past its own audience records, as well as the number of concerts and events it hosted in a single season (including Yoga on the Rocks and Film on the Rocks).
