Back in January, Billy Strings and his outfit performed at Ball Arena in Denver in front of their largest indoor crowd to date. Making magic for three nights in a row, the crowd left each show wanting more and for Colorado, this is typically the case when it comes to bluegrass.

Rhythms on the Rio, presented by the South Fork Music Association (SFMA), is excited to announce the first wave of performers for its 2025 festival. Taking place July 31 – August 3, 2025 in the picturesque town of Del Norte, Colorado, the event promises a vibrant celebration of music, community, and family-friendly fun.

Initial Lineup Highlights

Another weekend in the Denver Metro area has come to a close and was once again filled with epic, sold out shows that brought music lovers by the thousands to our most favored venues. Red Rocks saw two great nights of the annual Tedeschi Trucks Band, while Planet Bluegrass hosted their annual RockyGrass Festival, celebrating their 50th, and bringing all manner of living legends out for the birthday festivities.
