Denver, CO — Levitt Pavilion Denver announced today 23 additional dates, completing the lineup for the 2025 Free Concert Series. This latest announcement includes the season kick off concert on May 24th with Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, local and international bands from an array of genres and a series of returning and debut festivals and partnerships.
Levitt’s 2025 Concert Season is presented by Kaiser Permanente, a leading nonprofit health plan and one of the state’s largest health care providers.
“We are thrilled to support this series and the access it provides our communities to culture and music,” said Mike
Ramseier, president of Kaiser Permanente in Colorado. “As Colorado's leading nonprofit health plan and one of the state's largest health care providers, Kaiser Permanente is dedicated to improving the health of communities we serve. Levitt’s Free Concert Series aligns with our mission by providing valuable cultural opportunities, which are an important part of social health."
Levitt continues its commitment to collaboration and co-creation this season with highlights including the third annual All My Relations Celebration, curated by Helen Gover (Diné, Pawnee, Choctaw) and celebrating modern and diverse Indigenous cultures, to be headlined this year by Samoan-Hawaiian artist Fia; and the return of Brazilian Day, featuring the sounds, colors and movement of Brazilian music and dancing on June 22nd.
New to Levitt’s partnership-driven lineup this year is Melanin Melodies: Juneteenth Superjam, a celebration of Black American history, artistry and resilience conceived and curated by Wes Watkins and featuring an all-star lineup of musicians, historical narration, dancers, delicious treats and beats. Later in the season, debut partnerships include Passing the Crown, a powerful celebration of the queens of hip-hop featuring Rapsody and an all-female and gender-expansive collective of award-winning musicians, world-renowned breakers, freestylers, DJs, and MCs. Levitt is also thrilled to welcome for the first time Suave Fest, a biannual beer festival featuring 20+ Latino/a/x-owned breweries, Latin American cuisine, artisans, and live music on September 27th.
