    There's some upcoming Colorado fests. SonicBloom in particular (might be over?)

    Anyways, I want to know if anyone knows of any more or if they are going to any?

    It looks like I might be out in Colorado during August and going to traveling to some fests (possibly multiple 1 for sure). The more info I get, I'll be posting in here, but just wanted a place for others to share some.

    Bloom has not happened yet. June 21-24

    We also have a mini burning man type event, but you just missed that one.

    THe first one I know of is Syntonic Music Fest on August 3-5. Their lineup isn't posted yet, and it's a pretty low-exposure fest it seems.

    Just north of Boulder, should be pretty nice place from the sounds of it.

    check out nedfest if jam bands work for you.

    Even the tweeners are good. Say hi to Darryl Purpose from Robyn.

    Thanks for the word on Syntonic. I may be passing through on the way to Wyoming.

    Don't get too excited, they gave Busch Light a silver metal in the international Lager category.


    Ned Fest (as drumminmamma pointed out) is a good one. I might be wrong but I think Yonder Mountain String band started it.

    Looks like the Mile High Music Festival (aug 14-15) has a pretty good lineup

    Nope. They often played in some form, Swingset, Uncle Creepus and the Grumpy Thumpers, whatever. Same with LoS and off shoots.
    NedFest was started by the late Michigan Mike Torpie.
    He killed himself last November in the local grocery parking lot.
