O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Great bands to come through Colorado in the Fall

While Northern Colorado isn't necessarily known for its punk scene, many great bands plan to pass through this area in the fall of this year. Venues such as The Aggie, The Marquis Theater, and Summit Music Hall are scheduled to have a great fall lineup for punk rock enthusiasts. On October 5th, Guttermouth is scheduled to play with Agent Orange at The Aggie Theatre here in Fort Collins. Another great tour scheduled to come to both The Aggie and Summit Music Hall is The Fat Tour, which consists of bands such as Less Than Jake, Anti-Flag, and others.
