Colorado is a state that loves to be outdoors. In Grand Junction, one of our favorite venues is the Amp at Las Colonias. August is going to be a busy month for the Amp with artists like Jo Dee Messina, Darius Rucker, The Dead South, and The Infamous Stringdusters showing up for some late summer fun.

For those who have never been to a concert at Las Colonias, a clear bag policy is in place for all concerts. Read the specifics here. Guests on the lawn can bring 1 lawn chair each (subject to a security check).
