| December 19, 2012 | 0 Comments
DENVER, CO (December 18, 2012) – AEG Live, one of the world’s leading producers and promoters of live entertainment, announced today that AEG Live Rocky Mountains will be the exclusive operators, management, and bookers of the historic Gothic Theatre located at 3263 South Broadway, Englewood, CO 80113.

The Gothic Theatre is a former movie theatre, the first in Denver to show “talkies,” turned music venue.  Originally built in the 1920’s The Gothic Theatre’s grand art deco style provides an extraordinary and beautiful background.  Though the front façade was altered in the 1940s to keep pace with modern tastes of the times, when renovated in 1998 the historic interior was kept as the venue was rebuilt from top to bottom and fitted to become a premier part of Colorado music.  On June 23, 1999, when the very appropriate legends of New Orleans, The Rebirth Brass Band, took the stage, the glorious Gothic Theatre was back in the business of making memories. Since then the Gothic Theatre has hosted many distinguished shows. Local bands as well as nationally recognized bands have showcased their talent at the venue including: Death Cab for Cutie The FrayBroken BellsDr. DogPretty LightsThe CranberriesAll Time LowIngrid MichaelsonPat BenatarGavin Rossdale (of Bush), Cold War KidsThe WallflowersRise AgainstBlue Öyster CultThe Black Keys and more!

Chuck Morris, President and CEO of AEG Live Rocky Mountains, said, “The Gothic Theatre is an incredible venue, and our team will ensure it maintains an active and vibrant role in Colorado’s live music family.”

“We have always felt we needed a midsize room between the Bluebird Theater and Ogden Theater. With the Gothic, we have the perfect venue to help bands grow and offer the fans another incredible place to see live music,” continues Don Strasburg, Vice President of AEG Live Rocky Mountains.

Steve Schalk comments, “I remodeled the Gothic because I love live music and wanted an incredible place to hear and enjoy that music. I’m very pleased to hand the keys to Don, Chuck , Brent, Scott and the AEG Live Rocky Mountains team as I know they will make sure the vision I had for the Gothic is protected and enhanced.”

The Gothic Theatre is a rich part of the musical history of Denver, Colorado, and beyond. AEG Live Rocky Mountains will carry on in welcoming all genres of music and audiences as a continued part of this versatile facility.  The Gothic Theatre with premium in-house sound and lighting, incredible sight lines, and two levels of public space with full-service bars on both levels is one of the top midsized venues in the country.
