Dispatch will bring summer tour to Surly Festival Field
The parade of summer concert announcements continued this week with First Avenue unveiling yet another show for the annual series at Surly Brewing Festival Field.
Dispatch will headline a night in the brewery's backyard on June 22, the fifth concert announced for its summer season. They'll be joined by John Butler (with band), Donavon Frankenreiter, and Illiterate Light.
The jam-tinged roots band, who reunited in 2011 following a nearly decade-long hiatus, last released a studio album in 2021 but recently put out a new single for a track called "Yellow Jacket."
The band's summer tour may draw fans from around the region to Minneapolis, as it's the only stop currently announced in the Upper Midwest.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Feb. 7. at 10 a.m. However, there will be a series of presales prior to Friday. An artist presale will take place on Feb. 3, a Spotify presale will take place on Feb. 5, and a First Avenue presale will arrive on Feb. 6.
With this announcement, the Festival Field lineup is getting full. Other shows already announced for the summer series include An Evening with Cake (May 29), Hippo Campus and Hotline TNT (May 31), Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (July 11), and Sierra Ferrell (Aug. 2).
