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!

Northrop Auditorium tickets

There is not a lot going on at the Northrop these days. Past Northrop Auditorium performers, the Zac Brown Band have announced a show at Mystic Lake Casino. Fans are upset about this change because the Mystic Lake tickets are double what he was charging for the Northrop Auditorium tickets for his last show here. The Star Tribune even featured an article on the new Zac Brown Band ticket price jump.

In other news, both Chelsea Handler shows ended up being a great success and selling out, even the late show. Minneapolis comedy fans proved to be big fan of the Chelsea Lately star. Though sadly, I heard Chewy was not there. What is a Chelsea Handler show with no Chewy?!!

While the Chelsea Handler shows were going on at the Northrop, I was just across the mall area of the UofMN campus at the Weisman Art Museum at another sold out show" WHAMplified. Minnesota's own Har Mar Superstar was the headliner, and despite it being a million plus degrees in there it was a great show. I have seen Har Mar Superstar in just about every venue in the twin cities area so it was cool to see him in another setting: an art gallery. The 'stage' was in the conference/meeting room wing. Even thought Har Mar probably won't be in the next WHAMplified, I would totally go to another one just for the experience - I highly recommend it.

I will post some pictures from the show when I can find my missing camera cord!

Northrop Auditorium tickets

Saturday, April 3rd is going to be a hub of excitement for the University of Minnesota. There not one, but two Chelsea Handler shows at the Northrop Auditorium. In Dinkeytown, this awesome little band called the Black Lips are playing at the Varsity Theater and it is now official: the Har Mar Superstar WHAMplified event at the Weisman Art Museum is sold out! I am so glad that I purchased my ticket in advance, I know a lot of people who were planning on buying their at the door. Instead, since Har Mar is a pretty cool guy, he will probably just play an after party! This is his home turf, Har Mar will not disappoint.

On another note, there are still Northrop Auditorium tickets available for both Chelsea handler shows. And might I add, there are really good Northrop Auditorium tickets available for both Chelsea handler shows. Her book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang is in ever top 10 best seller list so I am sure she will have a mouth full to talk about of course at her 8pm and 11pm shows. I don't know how many Minneapolis comedy fans are going to be able to stay up that late to see the 11pm show - it takes a lot of people to sell out 2 Northrop Auditorium shows.

There are so many things to do in Minneapolis on April 3rd, I have no idea how we are all supposed to decide between Chelsea Handler, Beach House, The Black Lips with the Box Elders, Har Mar Superstar, the Red Pens, Spoon with Deerhunter, or Puscifer. And then to think Passion Pit is the next night. April is going to be exhausting!


Har Mar Superstar in all of his glory, see him at the Weisman on April 3rd.

Conan O'Brien tickets

Perhaps the hottest ticket in town right now is Conan O'Brien's just announced and totally sold out show at the Orpheum Theater.

Conan! What are you thinking?! The Northrop Auditorium holds wayyyy more people than the Orpheum and you would have been able to accommodate more of your die hard fans that are dying to see you. Northrop Auditorium tickets would have flown out the door just as Orpheum Theater tickets did!

Conan O'Brien is on his "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour" which will include appearances by his side-kick, Andy Richter. I really wish that Conan would have announced his show at the Northrop instead.

If you are looking for Conan O'Brien Orpheum Theater tickets good luck. They are very hot tickets - everyone wants to see Coco - myself included. Craig Ferguson, Eddie Griffin, and of course, Chelsea Handler all have comedy shows coming up, but nothing is as anticipated and Conan O'Brien. There was such a hullabaloo about the Tonight Show that everyone wants to see what he has to say about it ... and in person nonetheless. I must admit, I am intrigued to see the man who once owned a Chuck Norris lever. That is not something you see every day. Since Conan is banned from television until September 1st, 2010. So what else is there to do...? Why place a sold out Orpheum Theater show in Minneapolis among other places. Conan has already sold out THREE nights in Chicago.

The man, the myth, the legend
