Events in Colorado Springs tonight
Last updated 21h ago · 16 upcoming
Wednesday, August 5, and the music calendar is doing most of the heavy lifting tonight. Sunshine Studios Live is basically running a mini-festival under one roof — Anne Wilson, Steve Earle, Live Music: The Chronicles, LIVE at the Lodge, Benny G, and a Tacos and Tequila Festival all stacked into the same night. That's a lot of amps and, presumably, a lot of tacos. Meanwhile The Black Sheep keeps it tighter with The Ex Faces and ARKAI, and Pikes Peak Center For The Performing Arts brings the bigger-room energy with Ella Red and T.I. at UCHealth Park. Twenty-six events total are on the board tonight, so this is just the loud end of the list. No word yet on skies, but August evenings here can flip from clear to thunderstorm fast, so if you're doing anything outdoor-adjacent before a show, keep half an eye up. Otherwise, pick a venue, pick a genre, and go stand in a room with strangers who also didn't want to cook dinner tonight.
