THE FILLMORE AUDITORIUM
Fillmore Auditorium, also known as the Fillmore Denver, opened its doors in 1907 as a roller rink. Located in the Colfax Corridor and blocks from the Colorado State Capitol, the building has shifted roles over the years from car factory, to flea market, an indoor ice rink and nightclub, before ultimately transforming into a live music venue. In 1999 Bill Graham Presents purchased the building and it was redesigned and remodeled after the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco bringing the Fillmore Auditorium alive in Denver.
Throughout the years, the venue has hosted thousands of artists of all genres from James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, and The Grateful Dead to Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons and Post Malone.

BILL GRAHAM’S FILLMORE VISION
THE SAN FRANCISCO CLUB STARTED IT ALLThe original Fillmore is one of this country’s most storied venues. Originally opened in 1965, that intimate Fillmore was the epicenter of the American music scene during the 1960s and 70s, promoting the who’s who of iconic musical acts such as Aretha Franklin, Grateful Dead, Miles Davis, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Santana, The Doors, Janis Joplin; and many, many others which helped it grow into the legend it is today. Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium pays homage to the original club’s spirit with ornate chandeliers and velvet curtains to create a signature atmosphere that is welcoming for both artist and fans.
