Dierks Bentley Brings Off the Map Tour to Ford Amphitheater!
The summer concert season in southern Colorado is about to hit another high note as Dierks Bentley brings his high-energy country show to Ford Amphitheater on July 2, 2026, adding another major name to the growing lineup at one of the region’s newest live music destinations.
From a 719 perspective, this isn’t just another tour stop, it’s another sign that southern Colorado continues to punch above its weight in the live music world. Perched along the northern edge of Colorado Springs with sweeping Front Range views, Ford Amphitheater has quickly become a magnet for big name artists and summer nights that feel bigger than the city itself.
Bentley’s shows are known for mixing modern country swagger with bluegrass roots, and this stop is set to include legendary support from Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder alongside rising artist Cole Goodwin a blend that feels right at home in a state where boots and mountain views go hand in hand.
For local fans, the buzz isn’t just about the music. It’s about what this means for southern Colorado: more national tours, more nights where locals don’t have to drive to Denver to catch a major act, and more opportunities for our music scene to grow on its own terms. Restaurants, hotels, and local businesses will feel the ripple effect as thousands gather under the summer sky.
Whether you’re a longtime country fan or just looking for a quintessential Colorado summer night, Bentley’s return promises sing along hits, high energy, and the kind of crowd that reminds you why live music matters. One thing’s for sure, when the sun goes down and the lights come up at Ford Amphitheater this July, the 719 will be front and center!
Let’s get country! 🤠 🎶 🎸
