Opening act The Fray hails from Denver, with their debut album in 2005 resulting in two hit singles, the title track “How To Save A Life” and also “Over My Head”. Their self-titled album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2010. The group last released a new album in 2014, titled Helios.
