The concert will take place on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Lundgren Amphitheater.
Returning to tradition, Gypsum Daze is going back to a one-night concert format after four years of hosting two nights of music. “We’re excited to bring the community together for one incredible evening of music, memories, and celebration like it’s been in the past,” says Briar Schreiber, the Town of Gypsum’s Event Manager. “Chris Janson’s high-energy performance is the perfect way to celebrate Gypsum’s small-town spirit in a big way!”
