★ A Tribute Band Music Festival ★
Saturday August 1st, 2026
My Favorite Bands is a tribute band music festival in downtown Greeley, Colorado, presented by BandWagon Presents. One ticket covers six tribute acts on two alternating stages on Saturday, August 1, 2026: the open-air 9th St. Plaza and the indoor Moxi Theater. At 10 PM, choose Open Fire at Moxi or the Totally 80's After Party at The Box.
Since 2009
My Favorite Bands began in Greeley in 2009, when Damon Smith brought local musicians together to become the artists they loved, from the look to the hits and deeper cuts. The idea grew into a hometown celebration of tribute bands and Northern Colorado music culture. In 2026, it returns downtown with one ticket covering six acts on two alternating stages.
