Summer is almost here and that means it’s nearly time for barbecues, sunshine and — of course — a season of live music at the Dillon Amphitheater.

With the first show just weeks away, the town of Dillon has released the lineup of summer concerts happening at amphitheater along the shores of the Dillon Reservoir.

The lineup includes a new concert series, Mountain Music Mondays, which will feature free music every Monday evening, including from top acts such as Grammy Award winners Marc Cohn and Shawn Colvin, as well as a variety of paid shows from artists of national acclaim. The concerts include Colorado artists such as Boulder-based Gregory Alan Isakov and the Fort Collins-based Pretty Lights.



“It’s going to be a fun summer,” Dillon Marketing and Communications Manager Suzanne Phillipson said, noting that the lineup includes “some great up and coming artists and some nationally recognized artists as well.”

With everything from electronic dance music, country, folk, indie rock, jam bands and more, the the waterfront concert lineup offers a wide range of musical genres. A few shows have yet to be announced, Phillipson said, while others are already sold out.
