The Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs played host to an unforgettable night of reggae-rock, high spirits, and mountain magic as Dirty Heads rolled through town with support from Tropidelic.
With a vibrant crowd packed into the scenic outdoor venue and the Rocky Mountains painted in golden hues from a perfect summer sunset, the energy was electric from start to finish.

As twilight gave way to a glowing Colorado night, Dirty Heads took the stage to thunderous applause. Opening with the thumping rhythms of “Bum Bum,” the band wasted no time diving into a well-rounded set that pulled from across their discography.

Fan-favorites like “My Sweet Summer,” “Lay Me Down,” and “Cabin by the Sea” had the crowd singing in unison, arms swaying under the colorful stage lights. More recent hits like “Island Glow” and “Heavy Water” showcased the band’s evolving sound while still staying true to their laid-back, sun-soaked roots.
A surprise highlight came midway through with their funky cover of Joe Walsh’s “Life’s Been Good,” which turned into a full-blown singalong and reminded everyone of the Dirty Heads’ knack for blending genres seamlessly. From the front rail to the lawn, everyone was dancing, singing, and soaking up every beat.

Cleveland-based Tropidelic kicked off the evening with their signature fusion of reggae, funk, and hip-hop. The band delivered an energetic set that had early arrivals grooving along to favorites like “Police State,” “Snowman,” and “Sunny Days.” Their horn section was tight, and their stage presence was infectious—warming up the crowd with feel-good vibes that set the tone for the rest of the night.

With top-tier performances, stunning scenery, and a crowd that brought the energy, the Dirty Heads show at the Ford Amphitheater was more than a concert—it was a celebration of summer, music, and good vibes. Tropidelic proved to be the perfect opener, and the main act reminded everyone why they continue to be one of the most beloved names in the alt-reggae scene.
