Get ready for two full days of sonic mayhem—FoCoMX 2025 is bringing the heat with over 400 Colorado artists across every genre you can imagine (and a few you didn’t know existed). Friday kicks off with chill singer-songwriter sets at Equinox Brewing and ramps up fast with reggae, punk, jazz, and EDM acts rocking everything from museum lobbies to dive bars. By Saturday, the city is completely taken over—from bluegrass brunch sets to late-night dance parties that go well past midnight. Whether you’re vibing with Old Man Saxon’s hip-hop, grooving with The Man Cubs’ Disney covers, or jamming out to FoCo Motown Revue, this year’s lineup is a wild, eclectic ride.

The beauty of FoCoMX? You can curate your own adventure. Start with chill acoustic at The OBC Wine Project, swing through surf-rock at Tony’s Rooftop, and finish with a sweaty EDM set at The Lyric’s Mothership stage. And since venues include breweries, bookstores, patios, movie theaters, and more—every show feels personal. Don’t know who to see? Just wander! The surprise sets and spontaneous dance floors are what make this weekend the most Fort Collins thing ever.
