Headliners for Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest always carry a wow factor, but this year's first reveal offer something extra special. We welcome internationally acclaimed acoustic rock guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela to our Sunday Funday lineup. Be prepared to fall in love with their instrumental sounds of metal, jazz and world woven together to provide an explosive stage show rife with high energy and spectacular musical feats.
Friday nights of the festival have become a night to celebrate our top tier Colorado talent. Recent Friday headliners have included Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Samples and Cracker. The tradition started in 2010 with the Denver breakout band, Flobots. If you blinked your eye, you may have missed that Flobots graced the Mountain Ave stage the summer before they blew up the national scene so it was only fitting that at the height of their career they returned to support the event and show some love to Fort Collins. Check out a photo from that epic night below!
Flobots went on to shape the music scene and beyond with their message of "social change through music" and the mentorship they give the youth of Colorado with their 501(c) non-profit flobots.org The band has spent some time in recent years focusing on their own families and re-inventing in the studio. It's super special to welcome them back in the Friday night headliner slot to kick off our weekend celebrating the Colorado music scene. Make sure to mark your calendar and get ready to make some noise for Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest August 14-16th. Here's a little refresher video of Flobots to get you pumped.
