New Belgium Brewing Co. is bringing Capital Cities to Denver this summer as part of its 2017 Tour de Fat lineup.

The 18th annual traveling festival dedicated to philanthropy, beer, music, and cycling kicks off May 20 in Asheville, North Carolina. Altogether Tour de Fat is set to hit 33 cities across the U.S. including Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins.

New Belgium is Colorado's largest craft brewer — the fourth largest in the United States. In 2017, the Fort Collins-based company plans to make Tour de Fat the "biggest and boldest" it's ever been.

The brewer is partnering with music acts in each of the cities it's hitting including Wilderado in Boulder and Colorado Springs, Capital Cities in Denver and The All-American Rejects & X Ambassadors in Fort Collins.

Ticket prices vary by city. The Aug. 26 event in Denver is set at $25 a ticket. This summer New Belgium hopes Tour de Fat will generate more than $600,000  to support of local causes.

"This is one of the greatest ways we can give back to local communities," said brand manager  Sam Sawyer in a statement . "Not only do folks get a great event with top musical acts and plenty of spectacle, local non-profits get a cash injection and the opportunity to share their message. It's like a win-win-and win-again scenario. This is without a doubt some of the most fun we have all year."

New Belgium Reveals 2014 Tour de Fat Schedule

  • Press Release
  • Posted 2 Hours Ago --> Apr. 7, 2014 at 1:39 PM

The events kick off with a costumed bicycle parade that winds through city streets, ending in a city park. That’s when eclectic entertainment takes over from musical acts to yo-yo performers, bike contests and even vaudeville acts. This year will also include some brewing education and feature a “Bicycle Revival” to inspire festival-goers to believe in the power of two-wheeled transportation.

“Here at New Belgium, we’re all about giving people who love bikes (and those still warming up to bikes) a chance to get together in their local park,” said Matt Kowal, New Belgium Brewing’s Tour de Fat Impresario. “It’s such a fun day for so many different reasons — we not only bring people together, but also teach them about great beer, and how to make a difference in their community. And the fun part is you get to come as your alter ego. We all have regular jobs, but who are you at your core? This is the day to show up as that person. We say it every year, but if everyone’s weird, then no one is weird!”

During each tour stop, New Belgium tries to leave as little of an environmental imprint as possible. Tour de Fat hosts green vendors, has compost and recycle stations and festival trucks that operate on biofuel sourced from recycled waste oils.

In 2013, Tour de Fat traveled to 12 cities nationwide and attracted 97,500 festival attendees and 57,359 bicycle parade participants. The philanthropic events raised a total of $536,000 for local nonprofits and diverted an impressive 85 percent of waste from landfills. Tempe, Ariz., raised the most money (over $90,000) and New Belgium’s hometown of Fort Collins, Colo. attracted the most parade riders and festival-goers, both totaling 25,000 people.

New Belgium announces Tour de Fat schedule

New Belgium Brewing has announced the Tour de Fat schedule for its 13th season. Most Tour de Fat stops include a costumed bicycle parade, New Belgium beer, entertainment, local food, unusual bike contests and much more. This year the Tour will visit 15 cities.

In 2012, Tour de Fat, which is a free event, will exceed the $2 million mark for money raised for local nonprofits through beer and merchandise purchases. Funds generally go to organizations in the world of bike advocacy.

Each stop now includes a car-for-bike trade. Basically, a person gets up on stage, hands over car keys, and pledges to live one year car-free. Tour de Fat is now seeking volunteers to accept the swapper challenge. Each car-for-bike swapper will choose a local bike shop to help them turn their $2,250 budget into their ultimate car-replacement commuter bike. The cars will be auctioned by Vehicles for Charity, with proceeds to benefit local cycling organizations.

Tour de Fat 2012 will cycle through each of the following cities:

Nashville, TN – June 2 – Centennial Park Washington, DC – June 16 – Yards Park Durham, NC – June 23 – Diamond View Park on the American Tobacco Campus Atlanta, GA – June 30 – Historic 4th Ward Park Milwaukee, WI – July 14 – Coast Guard Event Area, McKinley Park Chicago, IL – July 21 – Palmer Square Minneapolis, MN – July 28 – Loring Park Boise, ID – August 18 – Ann Morrison Park Fort Collins, CO – September 1 – Civic Center Park Area Denver, CO – September 8 – City Park Los Angeles, CA – September 15 – Los Angeles State Historic Park San Francisco, CA – September 22 – Lindley Meadow in Golden Gate Park San Diego, CA – September 29 – Golden Hill Park Tempe, AZ – October 6 – Tempe Town Lake Austin, TX – October 20 – Fiesta Gardens

"Attendees can expect a return of the classic entertainment and activations they have come to know and love," a news release Friday promised. The event usually includes entertainment, music, games and New Belgium beer.

But no such details were given Friday, though more information is expected to come in August.

Tour de Fat got its start in 1999 and is a "celebration of community through bicycles and beer," according to New Belgium. The event benefits local bike nonprofits and trails and supports bicycle education and advocacy.

Paul Weller rocks out on guitar.

On May 25, 2024, Paul Weller turns 66.

To celebrate, the former frontman for The Jam and The Style Council is releasing the appropriately-titled album “66” and hitting the road in support of the new record.

The tour, his first in North America since 2017, kicks off with concerts at Red Bank, NJ’s Hackensack Meridian Health Theater on Friday, Sept. 6 and Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 7.

And while we can’t confirm whether Weller’s collaborators for his upcoming record — including Noel Gallagher , Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, and Madness ‘ Suggs McPherson — will perform with him on tour, we do know the best way to find out is live.

If you can’t wait for the upcoming 14-concert trek, tickets can be secured for all shows as soon as today.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 12, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Paul Weller set list

As noted earlier, this is Weller’s first U.S. tour in seven years.

However, he performs overseas quite regularly. To wit, he played a gig in Leicester, GB, a day before this story was published.

Here’s what he took to the stage — including a few cuts from The Jam and The Style Council — at the De Monfort Hall on April 9, 2024, courtesy of Set List FM .

01.) “That’s Entertainment” (The Jam song) 02.) “A Man of Great Promise” (The Style Council song) 03.) “Shout to the Top!” (The Style Council song) 04.) “Broken Stones” 05.) “Fat Pop” 06.) “You Do Something to Me” 07.) “Start!” (The Jam song) 08.) “Porcelain Gods” 09.) “Hung Up” 10.) “Peacock Suit” 11.) “The Changingman” 12.) “Wild Wood” 13.) “Mayfly” 14.) “Soul Wandering” 15.) “Jumble Queen” 16.) “All the Pictures on the Wall” 17.) “My Ever Changing Moods” (The Style Council song)

Paul Weller new music

Ahead of the “66” album release, Weller has released a pair of singles this year.

First up, he dropped the three-minute “Soul Wandering” on Feb. 23. The track is a jaunty, folksy tune with inventive instrumentation simmering beneath the surface. Around one minute in, a backup singer joins Weller and the song kicks into high gear.

He followed that up with somehow simultaneously plaintive and uplifting “Rise Up Singing.”

If you want to hear both bops, you can find them here .
