From the unexpected longevity of Alien Ant Farm to the evolution of Dryden as a songwriter, father, and frontman, it’s clear that this band has never been interested in simply recreating the past. Twenty-five years after ANThology put them on the map, they’ve continued to evolve while holding onto the personality, humor, and unpredictability that made Alien Ant Farm stand out in the first place.

And now, that 25-year journey comes full circle this Saturday, October 10, when Alien Ant Farm brings the ANThologycelebration to Halftime Sports Bar in Newark, Delaware. If you’ve been a fan since “Smooth Criminal,” 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—and we’ll see you at Halftime!
