Gypsum announces concert lineup for 2023 Gypsum Daze

For its 40th year, Gypsum Daze will feature four bands with two nights of country music concerts at the Lundgren Amphitheater in Gypsum. Kicking things off on Friday, July 14, it’s all about Nashville as country music newcomer Shane Profitt and supergroup Diamond Rio take the stage with a unique blend of bluegrass-country-rock and harmonies. On Saturday, July 15, the fiery, western-rooted bluegrass sound of female trio Runaway June will start the night off, followed by a show from country-blues-rocker Frankie Ballard.

“This year’s Gypsum Daze lineup has been so fun to put together, and thanks to the Gypsum Town Council, it’s really the best deal for this level of live music in the valley,” said Briar Schreiber, the town’s event manager. “Between artists who are growing and currently climbing the charts to artists who have more hits than we can list, there’s something for everyone on the concert nights and the festival as a whole.”

Gypsum Daze concert tickets go on sale Monday, May 15, with early-bird pricing (single concert night for $25, both concert nights for $40) running through Sunday, July 9.  Starting Monday, July 10, single-night tickets will increase by $10 and two-night tickets will go up by $20.
