Denver listeners, if you’re wondering what’s happening around the city today and throughout the week, you’re in for a treat. Kicking things off, tonight Ball Arena hosts Bryan Adams’ Roll with the Punches Tour, featuring classic rock icon Pat Benatar plus Neil Giraldo opening at 7:30 PM. It’s the kind of legendary double bill you’ll be talking about long after the last encore, so grab tickets while you can as listed by Live Nation.

On Tuesday, local music fans should swing by the Skylark Lounge on South Broadway for Indie 102.3’s November Local 303 Meetup. This monthly event celebrates Colorado’s music scene with an intimate performance by Best Man. It’s 21 and up, totally free, and a perfect way to discover new talent and connect with local music lovers according to Indie 102.3.

Denver’s sky-watchers have some celestial treats in store too. According to the Denver Astronomical Society, the enormous Winter Hexagon asterism will be sparkling in the southeast skies, starring Sirius, Procyon, Pollux, Capella, Aldebaran, and Rigel, and joined by the bright planet Jupiter around 11 PM. Throughout the week, gaze up for special moments like Wednesday’s Cold Moon sitting between two clusters in Capricornus, and by the weekend watch the waxing gibbous moon sidle up to Neptune and Saturn in Pisces around 7 PM.

For those planning ahead to Thanksgiving, Denver will be under a first quarter Cold Moon just before midnight, offering a cosmic backdrop to full bellies and family gatherings. As Black Friday rolls in, keep eyes high for the moon hitting its ascending node around mid-afternoon.

Fans of live shows should keep Marquis Theater in mind this week—it’s always hopping with fresh faces and established acts, so check their schedule for any genres you’re after. Whether in the mood for indie rock, punk, or something experimental, there’s always something at Marquis.

And don’t sleep on the city’s meteor showers. NASA’s Meteor Shower Portal (recommended by Denver Astronomical Society) lets you track the Leonids, Orionids, and more. If you’re an early riser, the last hour before dawn offers your best shot at catching some shooting stars in Leo and Taurus.

From stargazing and rock concerts to local music showcases, Denver’s energy is contagious this week. Thanks for tuning in, make sure to subscribe so you never miss what’s happening around town. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
