The 12 best things to do in Greater Denver this weekend

This weekend leans hard into big-ticket Sunday spectacle — Garth Brooks and Phish anchor massive nights out, while Gregory Alan Isakov brings a hometown singer-songwriter turn to Red Rocks with a full symphony behind him. For something smaller and stranger, there's a Stephen King chiller onstage in Arvada and a Star Wars sing-along under the stars at Levitt Pavilion.
