American Football

American Football, the legendary Champaign-Urbana band whose self-titled debut album became one of the most beloved and influential records in emo and indie rock history, brings their signature sound to Denver's intimate The Summit Music Hall on Saturday, May 16, 2026. Known for their intricate guitar work, delicate trumpet melodies, and emotionally raw songwriting, American Football delivers a live experience that feels both deeply personal and collectively cathartic — a rare evening where the music genuinely moves you. Joining them is the captivating Mei Semones, an emerging artist whose dreamy, introspective sound makes her a perfect complement to the headliners. The Summit Music Hall, one of Denver's premier mid-sized venues, provides an ideal setting — intimate enough to feel every resonant guitar chord, yet atmospheric enough to let the music wash over the room in waves. Expect crystalline sound, attentive production, and a crowd that knows every lyric by heart. This is more than a concert — it's a gathering of devoted fans who have carried these songs through some of life's most formative moments. Whether you discovered American Football through a late-night deep dive or have been a fan since the beginning, this night promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music that endures.
