If you’ve been in Colorado for more than a year, you may have noticed that October is an incredibly epic month to be a concert goer. Whether it’s due to the start of the new school year, Colorado’s geographic location on most tour maps or just the fact that Halloween, happens to be that month, October has many concerts to choose from. Here at CU Independent, we know how hard it can to keep up with shows at the start of the year. We’re here to bring you the definitive list of what awesome shows you can to go to in both September and October.
