Where to Find Live Music in Fort Collins
Old Town
The heart of Fort Collins nightlife. Old Town's bars and restaurants host everything from acoustic singer-songwriters to full rock bands. Walk the square on any Friday or Saturday night and you'll hear music pouring out of multiple doorways.
Midtown & South Fort Collins
The brewery district south of Old Town has become a second hub for live music. Taprooms with outdoor stages are especially popular in summer, and several venues book touring acts year-round.
The FoCo Music Vibe
Fort Collins has a college-town energy (go Rams) combined with a deeply supportive local music community. You'll find a strong bluegrass and Americana scene alongside rock, indie, electronic, and everything else. Crowds are enthusiastic and venues are affordable.
