2026 marks the 150th anniversary of the University of Colorado. One of CU’s long-standing traditions is Folsom Field hosting the biggest names in music and live entertainment. From The Rolling Stones in the 1970s and Fleetwood Mac in the 1980s, to Paul McCartney in the 1990s, Dave Matthews Band in the 2000s, and Dead & Company in the 2010s, concerts at Folsom Field have long electrified the Front Range.

Folsom Field Concert Sound Level Guidelines
To address concerns of the community related to the impact of sound levels on campus and the neighboring community, the University of Colorado Boulder will be implementing new guidelines designed to mitigate noise levels at concerts held at Folsom Field. These guidelines establish sound pressure level limits, measured in decibels (dB), that will be closely monitored and, if necessary, adjusted during an event.
A Sound Pressure Level (SPL) monitoring system and sound engineer, provided by the University of Colorado, will be located at the sound mix position closest to the stage to provide the performers’ sound engineers with data that will enable them to make real-time adjustments to sound level and frequency.
- The A-weighted Leq sound pressure level, including volume and frequency, shall not exceed 106.0 dBA or 1-minute averages
- The Leq sound pressure levels shall not exceed 119.0 dB for the logarithmic sum of sound pressure level energy in the un-weighted 25, 31.5, 40, 50, 63, and 80 Hz one-third-octave bands for 1-minute averages. These levels will be referred to as dB1 on the house monitoring system.
Should sound levels exceed these parameters, the sound will be adjusted immediately. CU Athletics will also be engaging a third-party company to conduct live monitoring during concerts in the area surrounding Folsom Field to provide additional data.
