Gus Dapperton takes 4 Dear Life to the Fox Theatre

Fresh off his fourth album, the indie-pop songwriter plays Boulder's 625-capacity Hill room on Wed, Apr 14.

A new album has about ten days of life in the world right now, and Boulder already has its date on the calendar. Gus Dapperton plays the Fox Theatre on Wednesday, April 14, 2027, a stop on what the ticket page calls the 4 Dear Life Tour. The date was announced October 26.

Here's what to know. The show starts at 8pm. Tickets run $25–$50 through Tixr, the Fox's own ticketing page. The room holds about 625.

The album is the reason for the trip. Dapperton announced *4 Dear Life*, his fourth studio album, in September, with a release date of October 23 on ALTER Music, as The Line of Best Fit and Clash reported at the time. The Line of Best Fit's announcement came with the single "Queen." So by mid-April, the record will have had almost six months to settle in with listeners, which is about when a new set of songs stops sounding new at shows and starts getting sung back.

It's also been a while since his last big headline run. His previous major North American tour, the HENGE Tour, started in September 2023, according to coverage of that tour. A new album and a new tour after that kind of gap usually mean a reworked set, with fresh songs up front and the older favorites placed where the crowd needs them.

Fourth album, first tour in a few years, and a 625-capacity room on the Hill. That's a good ratio.

The Fox is a good fit for that. It's Boulder's go-to club for indie acts on the way up or acts that would rather play close to their fans, and at about 625 it keeps a sold-out crowd tight. A Wednesday-night show in April falls during the CU semester, so expect plenty of students alongside the regulars who catch most indie bookings that come through town.

The price range starts at $25, which is friendly for a headliner with a fourth record out. Fox shows with this kind of fan base can sell out ahead of time, so if you already know you want to go, it makes sense to buy now instead of waiting until spring.

Between now and April, there's plenty of time to live with *4 Dear Life*. Start with "Queen," work through the rest, and by the time the Fox doors open you'll know which songs you're waiting for.

A school-night show on the Hill, a new record, and a room that holds 625: that's a pretty good way to spend a Wednesday in April.
