Twenty-five years after&nbsp;<em>ANThology<\/em>&nbsp;put them on the map, they&rsquo;ve continued to evolve while holding onto the personality, humor, and unpredictability that made Alien Ant Farm stand out in the first place.<\/p>\n\n<p>And now, that 25-year journey comes full circle this Saturday, October 10, when Alien Ant Farm brings the&nbsp;<em>ANThology<\/em>celebration to Halftime Sports Bar in Newark, Delaware. If you&rsquo;ve been a fan since &ldquo;Smooth Criminal,&rdquo; discovered them somewhere along the way, or just want to see what a band with this much history sounds like today, this is a show worth catching. Dryden, thanks for finally making this conversation happen&mdash;and we&rsquo;ll see you at Halftime!<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/186\/6ac91882d2d93b38c31.jpg\" style=\"\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","image":"https:\/\/mmo.aiircdn.com\/186\/6ac9181bf380f42fa47.jpeg","author":{"name":"Deanna"},"_mobile_inapp_url":"https:\/\/www.951wsnj.com\/_app_pages\/stations\/6089\/blogs\/posts\/86739"}]}
