Crowded House

Don't dream it's over any longer! Australian indie rockers Crowded House are hitting the road this fall for limited dates. The band has enjoyed great success over the years, selling over 15 million albums worldwide and being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

The Front Bottoms at Fillmore Minneapolis

The Front Bottoms

New Jersey emo-folk band The Front Bottoms take their 'Finding Your Way Home' tour on the road.

Foreigner at Mayo Clinic Health Systems Event Center

Foreigner

The Eighties' hitmakers Foreigner return for another rocking tour!

Flogging Molly at Fillmore Minneapolis

Flogging Molly

Celtic-punk rockers Flogging Molly are hitting the road again with a series of shows that promise to rouse audiences with their anthemic odes to the Emerald Isle.

Lake Street Dive at Surly Brewing Festival Field

Lake Street Dive

This Boston-formed country band has been winning over music fans with their diverse style since winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006 and self-financing the recording of their debut album 'In This Episode'. With their key influences in classic pop and swing era jazz, they often cite The Beatles as their main inspiration.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise at Minneapolis Armory

Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Rainbow Kitten Surprise may sound like the title of a Japanese game show, but the band's mature, genre-defying sound is as surprising as their choice of moniker. Drawing upon facets of grunge, alt-rock, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals.

Two Door Cinema Club at Fillmore Minneapolis

Two Door Cinema Club

One of British music's bright young things, Two Door Cinema Club's brand of melodic indie pop has proven popular with critics and the public alike.
