Northrop Auditorium tickets

In April I attended a sold out event at the Weisman Art Museum called "WHAMplified." It ended up being a totally sold out show with Har Mar Superstar. My friend Rachel and I had a blast, it was a unique concert experience. I have been to many concerts, but this is the only one I attended that was IN an art gallery.

WHAMplified! is an event that the Weisman has about 3 times a year. The Weisman has just announced their new installment featuring local acts Solid Gold and Lookbook. Hello! This line up is awesome! Solid Gold is always a local favorite and Lookbook is an up and coming band that just got back from their first national tour, they also just headlined their first night at First Avenue's mainroom last weekend.

WHAMplified tickets are on sale now along with other great Northrop Auditorium tickets and events, like Neil Young. WHAMplified tickets will sell out, there is very limited space - not to mention everyone will want to be at the Solid Gold / Lookbook show on July 17th. Sadly, I will not be making it to this one, I will be at another show!

Romantica Tickets

The Northrop is throwing a free concert tonight with local loves, Romantica. Northrop Auditorium tickets are free for this show! If you are bored on a Monday night, why not check out a great show. Maybe if the weather is nice I could see the Northrop moving the show outside. The Northrop is known for their outdoor music concert series, however, it is not usual that they grab such a great act like Romantica to headline.

Free Northrop Auditorium tickets are available at the door for this show, there is no on sale for the free show ahead of time. Be prepared to get their early to get a spot.

Romantica's success has been all over the place. They play more local shows here in Minnesota than you can count, they have opened for Ryan Adams, and toured with Carrie Rodriguez (they played at the Varsity just a month ago.) Romantica have a lot of upcoming shows in Minneapolis including Bastille Days (with my favorite The Red Pens), the Basilica Block Party, an opening spot for the Jayhawks' Sunday night show, and two MN State Fair shows. Romantica has a lot on their plate this summer playing at some of the bigger events around town, don't miss their free show at the Northrop tonight!!

Neil Young tickets

After an odd stint at the Xcel Energy Center, Neil Young has made it back to the Northrop for a solo show. The show is not acoustic, but it will be just Neil. I want to go oh - so - bad, however as usual with ol' Neil Young, Northrop Auditorium tickets will set you back a few pennies. Actually, A TON of pennies. Neil Young is a once in a life time kind of musician, but still, he charges his fans a lot of money.

Northrop Auditorium tickets are on sale now for the July 29th Neil Young show, Bert Jansch opens the show. It has been awhile sine the Northrop Auditorium has had a show - April's Chelsea Handler shows to be exact.

Neil Young is advertising his tour as "solo, acoustic, and electric" so he should have more than enough chances to showcase his extensive catalog. What I wouldn't give to hear "Old Man" "Alabama" and all of his other amazing jams. Northrop Auditorium tickets might just have to drop out of the sky for this one for me. Buy Northrop Auditorium Neil Young tickets for this show NOW before they are sold out - Neil sells out every show every time!


Some day, Neil - some day!
