Santa came early this year. Well, not Santa, per se, but the music gods sure did, and they’re #blessing us with some killer concerts this December. Really now, we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday present.
The Goo Goo Dolls and ZZ Top are among the top acts coming to Albuquerque, while Santa Fe’s Meow Wolf is bringing in Joywave and The Floozies. In Durango, SoDown will be returning to the Animas City Theatre stage.
So what’ll it be? The choice is yours. Choose your own adventure, er, concert if you will.
