One wristband. Three venues. Over 30 bands. Built by and for FoCo.
Say hello to Laurel Fest, a brand-new, two-night, walkable music festival taking over the Laurel Street and College Avenue corridor from Oct. 18-19, 2025. Think neighborhood block party meets venue hop: The Atrium, R Bar and Avogadro’s Number will run back-to-back sets so fans can bounce between rooms, discover their next favorite band and keep the local arts scene buzzing into fall.
“We built Laurel Fest to celebrate our little corner of Fort Collins: friendly, close and absolutely packed with music,” says Hail Groo, owner of The Atrium and the founder and director of Laurel Fest. “You can step out of one set, cross the street and experience a totally different sound. It’s the kind of weekend where you show up for the bands you know and love and leave with five new obsessions.”
Across two nights, the festival will showcase more than 30 Fort Collins acts, from rock and indie to pop, punk, hip-hop, EDM, metal and more. Expect amazing music, short walks between stages and that rare, catch-them-before-they-blow-up energy. Highlights from the lineup include The Crooked Rugs, Two Scoops, Autumnal, Sturtz, Foxy Velour, Lounge Drugs, Sasha Stone Band, Kansas Dawson, MODRN and many more, with additional artists to be announced.
