Denver Independent Music Venues

Denver needs more independent music venues, and we're here to provide them. Homegrown, independently run, and fueled by a love of live music, The Federal Theatre, HQ, and The Oriental Theater are three of Denver’s go-to spots for unforgettable nights. From national touring acts to rising local artists, tribute bands, themed dance parties, sultry burlesque, comedy, and everything in between, our stages reflect the full spectrum of what makes this city’s music scene so special.

Being indie means we get to take chances, champion creativity, and build real community, so every show feels like it was made just for you. Whether you're discovering your next favorite band or reliving the classics with a packed crowd, there’s always something worth showing up for.

Walk down lively Broadway for HQ, live it up on Tennyson for The Oriental Theater, or take a trip down Federal for the newly renovated Federal Theatre. Let's dance, rage, and sing along to all of our favorite songs, we've got a ticket waiting for you.
