Colorado Springs, CO – In a much-anticipated opening event, the platinum-selling pop group OneRepublic is set to headline at the grand debut of the Sunset Amphitheater on Friday, August 9. This $90 million project, nestled southeast of Interstate 25 and North Gate Boulevard, represents a new era in luxury outdoor concert experiences in Colorado Springs.
The Sunset Amphitheater, a brainchild of JW Roth, CEO of Notes Live, is more than just a music venue. With a sprawling capacity of 8,000, this state-of-the-art facility is described as the “luxury answer to outdoor concert-going.” Since its announcement in April 2022, the amphitheater has created a buzz with its promise of hosting world-class artists and offering unparalleled audio-visual experiences.
What sets the Sunset Amphitheater apart are its unique features, including a self-draining grass berm and over 90 luxury fire-pit suites, which, according to Roth, sold out nearly two years ago. “Our goal is to provide an unmatched outdoor concert experience, combining top-tier artists with premium amenities,” Roth said in a statement.
The opening act, OneRepublic, holds a special connection to Colorado Springs, being natives of the area. The Grammy-nominated group, led by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan Tedder, is expected to draw a significant crowd, celebrating their local roots in this rare appearance. The event, booked in exclusive partnership with mega-promoter AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, is a testament to the venue’s commitment to high-quality entertainment.
Beyond the music, the Sunset Amphitheater boasts of offering clear sightlines from every seat, gourmet dining options, and crystal-clear sound quality, elevating the live music experience. Roth, a seasoned businessman and music enthusiast, expressed his passion for live music as the driving force behind this venture. His journey from selling firewood door-to-door to heading to Roth Premium Foods, now a national brand, reflects his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication.
The Sunset Amphitheater is poised to be the crown jewel in the Notes Live empire, which includes several premium entertainment campuses across the nation. Roth emphasized that the Sunset’s sister campus outside Colorado Springs will feature venues like Boot Barn Hall, Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern, and the Notes Live Music and Social Bar, further enriching the region’s cultural landscape.
As the amphitheater opens its doors, it not only marks a new chapter for live music in Colorado Springs but also sets a high standard for luxury entertainment experiences nationwide.
