Sam Hunt and Brett Young are scheduled to play the famous Red Rocks theater near Denver, Colorado for a virtual concert via Visible dubbed "Red Rocks: Unpaused."

The Visible website says, "For three legendary nights, Red Rocks will come alive with some of the biggest names in music across a tapestry of genres. Introducing the artists and bands that are helping us push the boundaries of live-concert entertainment in 2020."

The acts will be playing live at the venue but it will not be open to the public and will be streamed for viewing at home, completely free.

Visible says on their site, "This is a completely virtual event and no one should try to enter the physical Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The amazing people who are helping us make this happen are strictly following all CDC guidelines. We’re taking every precaution to ensure safe concerts for everyone involved."
