Bob Dylan plots return to Broomfield

Bob Dylan last stopped by the Denver area for a Father’s Day show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2016, but his previous appearance held a bit less grandeur — a 2012 concert at the FirstBank Center, with Mark Knopfler. Dylan will return to the modest (compared to Red Rocks, anyway) venue with His Band and opener/legend-in-her-own-right Mavis Staples on Oct. 21 — almost five years to the day since his previous show at the Broomfield venue. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 15. ($54.50-$129.50, altitudetickets.com) “The Ghost of Christmas Eve” appears to be alive and well for reliable holiday-music juggernaut Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which will take over the Pepsi Center as part of its new “Winter Tour” for 3 and 8 p.m. shows on Nov. 18. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 15. ($43-$74, altitudetickets.com) Murder by Death is returning to Colorado for its annual concerts at the Stanley Hotel, following sold-out runs in previous years at the historic Estes Park venue.
