Warren Haynes announces special Red Rocks show

The show will feature the Colorado Symphony

Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes has added a special show date at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre to his upcoming Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience. The new show takes place on Tuesday, September 10th, and will feature the group performing with the Colorado Symphony, led by conductor Christopher Dragon.

Artist and venue pre-sale tickets for Red Rocks will be available Thursday, May 16th at 10 am local time with the public sale commencing Friday, May 17th at 10 am MT.

“It’s almost cliche to say Red Rocks is a magical venue, but the truth is…it is,” shares Haynes. “Having played there dozens of times, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad show there. So, when picking places to bring my retrospective Symphonic Experience show, the one place I knew we had to play was Red Rocks. This show features material from all the amazing bands I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of over the last 30 years – interpreted by different orchestras around the country in addition to music from my various solo records and new, yet to be released material as well. I’m honored to perform once again with the Colorado Symphony and to unleash my new band, which will perform with and without the symphony.”

The Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience features a full set of symphonic music plus a set of Haynes’ signature rock/soul blend alongside the debut of the new Warren Haynes Band. The brand-new show will explore all aspects of Warren’s incredible catalog and career including music from Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, Jerry Garcia, his solo albums (including the Grammy-nominated Man In Motion), and more set to never-before-heard arrangements for all songs, except the Garcia tunes which will find Haynes revisiting compositions from the groundbreaking Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration tour. All shows, apart from Red Rocks, will be conducted by Rich Daniels of Chicago’s City Lights Orchestra.

The Now Is The Time Tour featuring The Warren Haynes Band & The Dreams and Songs Symphonic Experience debuts next month with three special nights in the northeast June 7-9 and then continues in July with shows throughout the Midwest. In between, the Warren Haynes Band will head to Europe for an eight-date tour in June and support Slash at the West Coast dates of the S.E.R.P.E.N.T Festival from July 5-14 including July 13th at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
