Details
Punk rock is roaring back in Boulder County, and Longmont is quickly becoming its epicenter. Viva Le Rock Fest on October 11 at the historic Dickens Opera House will bring 9 bands to the stage, four of them from Longmont, in what promises to be the city’s biggest punk event yet. The all-ages festival builds on a wave of shows across Boulder County, underscoring the strong demand for punk music close to home.
That demand was impossible to ignore after more than 250 people turned out for an August show at Summit Tacos, confirming what many already suspected: Longmont is hungry for more diverse music options.
Families, teenagers, and longtime punk fans created an atmosphere that was both vibrant and welcoming. For young people especially, it offered something rare — a safe space where they could channel energy, enjoy live punk music right here in Longmont, and connect with other kids into the same music.
The Dickens Opera House is now the latest venue to open its stage to punk, bringing the music to one of Longmont’s most iconic spaces and cementing the city’s place in Colorado’s growing punk revival. With Longmont hosting no fewer than eight punk events between June and October, it’s clear that punk’s resurgence is here to stay. Viva Le Rock Fest stands as part of a blossoming movement that is reshaping Longmont’s cultural and creative landscape.
