There are a lot of free concerts throughout the summer in Colorado, not many bring in national acts. One event, east of Greeley, is bringing 80s legends Night Ranger to down to rock a summer Saturday night.

When is Night Ranger Playing for Free in Colorado in 2026?

Saturday night, July 11, 2026, Night Ranger will be playing for free at Glenn Miller Park in Fort Morgan, Colorado. Glenn Miller, who was raised in Fort Morgan, was unofficially  awarded the first "gold record" (over 1.2 million in sales of "Chattanooga Choo Choo) in 1941; Night Ranger has had three RIAA Gold Certified albums, and one Platinum album (7 Wishes.)

Annual Event Since 2008 to Feature Night Ranger and Color Me Badd

Not many in Northern Colorado have heard of "BobStock" which has happened the second full weekend of July since 2008. It's an event put on by a local radio station out of Sterling, Bob FM; the event started with one night and a few bands, but has grown into a two-day event in Downtown Fort Morgan.

I'd first heard about BobStock in 2022, when our boss at the time mentioned that Starship featuring Mickey Thomas was slated to play there that summer. A buddy of mine and myself have been to BobStock just about every summer since then.

Fort Morgan is nice, and they make Downtown "pedestrians" only for the event, with vendors, food trucks and a kids zone.

The event has several stages throughout the Downtown area with local bands playing; then on Friday, July 10, Color Me Badd will take the main stage; Night Ranger will play on Saturday the 11th. Be sure to stop in at Queen's Lounge, an old bar set inside what was a hotel built in 1930, while you're in town.
