Ax and the Hatchetmen: The Late Checkout Tour 2026

Headlining their own Late Checkout Tour, alternative/indie rock band Ax and the Hatchetmen bring their energetic live show to Denver. Formed in Chicago in 2018, the six-piece group—featuring Axel Ellis, Salvatore Defilippis, Hunter Olshefke, Phil Pistone, Quinn Dolan, and Chaandmon Croft—has built a dedicated following through a mix of gritty garage-rock, psychedelic jangle, and jammy dynamism. Their music, described as having a 'rustic but rich' vocal quality, draws from influences like Rivers Cuomo and Albert Hammond Jr.

Attendees can expect a setlist drawn heavily from their 2025 album *So Much to Tell You*, which earned critical acclaim for its 'edgy rock and superb chops.' The band's live performances capture the collaborative spirit that defines their songwriting, with each member contributing to an eclectic sound that spans from upbeat indie anthems to introspective ballads. Fan favorites like 'Peach Trees' and '7 x 9' are likely to make appearances.

The Late Checkout Tour marks the band's first headlining run since the album's release, and Denver audiences will be treated to the full energy and musicianship that has earned Ax and the Hatchetmen over 150,000 TikTok followers. With a reputation for high-energy, engaging shows, this concert promises a night of memorable indie rock.
