Concerts to see this week: Sturgill Simpson, Magnetic Fields, Amyl & the Sniffers
What a week ahead. The concert calendar around the Twin Cities is absolutely packed. You could hit a concert every day and still miss some shows that are going to be great. Here's what is happening around the Twin Cities with an effort to hone in on some of the best concerts happening. (What about Sharon van Etten? Gang of Four? Julien Baker & TORRES? Ben Folds? Lucius? Allison Russell? There's only so much space available.) Tuesday, May 6–Wednesday, May 7, at The Armory After a stretch of not performing in the Twin Cities, Sturgill Simpson came through last year with fans shouting from the rooftops about it being one of the best concerts of the year. He's already coming back for a pair of shows at The Armory on his 'Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies' tour. He'll perform without an opener, playing music from his catalog as well as his recent release as Johnny Blue Skies, Passage Du Desir. Wednesday, May 7, at Palace Theatre The Australian group rides the line between bar rock and punk with joyful, no-holds-barred songs. Their third album, Cartoon Darkness, has them both more melodic and more chaotic, which suits their energetic live vibes pretty nicely. Friday, May 9–Saturday, May 10, at The Fitzgerald Theater Stephin Merritt and co. are on the road celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band's seminal record, 69 Love Songs. They'll play through the entirety of the roughly three-hour album across two nights. Playing classic albums in their entirety has become a mainstay of touring, but rarely is it an album that is as iconic as 69 Love Songs. Friday, May 9–Saturday, May 10, in Winona Head to Winona for the sprawling annual festival that puts local groups on stages across the city. This year's fest features Charlie Parr, Gully Boys, Humbird, Nur-D (who is about to release a new album), People Brothers Band, Mae Simpson, Kiss the Tiger, LAAMAR, The Nunnery, Westerlund/Hagen Duo, and plenty more. Saturday, May 10, at First Avenue The British punk group was in town last year, prior to the release of their debut LP. Though, they'd already made plenty of noise with their You're Welcome EP and the 'God's Country' single. Clearly, their truth-to-power brand of punk rock has struck a chord after the release of Who Let the Dogs Out. (Yes, that's the name of their new record, which is excellent and has a great title.) The show, originally scheduled to take place at 7th St. Entry, has been moved to the First Avenue main room. Punk fans will have to make a choice on Saturday, though. Gang of Four's farewell tour is happening on the same night, just down the street at Fine Line. Saturday, May 10 (Brother Ali), and Sunday, May 11 (Dessa), at Icehouse Over the course of two days, Icehouse will bring in a few Rhymesayers veterans for shows at the intimate venue. Brother Ali, a former Twin Cities resident now based in Istanbul, released Satisfied Soul earlier this year. He'll bring the new music to Icehouse on Saturday, where he'll appear with DJ Abilities. The following night, Dessa will take the stage, joined by Lazerbeak and an opening set from Zach on Monday, May 5: Lucy Dacus at Palace Theatre Bruce Cockburn at The Parkway Theater Citizen Soldier at First Avenue Fame on Fire with Halocene and Archetypes Collide at Amsterdam Bar & Hall Edwin McCain at The Dakota Obituary, Nails, Terror, SpiritWorld, and Pest Control at Varsity Theater Shayfer James with Sparkbird at 7th St. Entry Magic Sword with Starbenders, Mega Ran, and North Innsbruck (DJ set) at Turf Club Concerts on Tuesday, May 6: Sturgill Simpson at The Armory Lucy Dacus at Palace Theatre Bruce Cockburn at The Parkway Theater New Band Night w/ Megasound, Ringlet, Greentop, and Keston Wright at Green Room The Toxhards with Lakeside Effects at Turf Club Paul Thorn at The Dakota FLO at The Fillmore Arm's Length, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Riley!, and Bike Routes at Varsity Theater Trousdale at Fine Line Luke Callen and Clare Doyle: Stripped Down Song Swap at Icehouse Concerts on Wednesday, May 7: Sturgill Simpson at The Armory Amyl and the Sniffers with Sheer Mag at Palace Theater Ben Folds & A Piano Tour with Lindsey Kraft at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester Enter the Void: Lilac Fortress, Second Lavender, and Terry Goodbat at Can Can Wonderland Teen Mortgage with UPCHUCK at 7th St. Entry Visual Learner, Black Dots, City Mouse, and Couch Potato Massacre at Cloudland Theater Eem Riplin and DC the Don at Varsity Theater Magnolia Park with Hot Milk, Savage Hands, and South Arcade at Fine Line Guy Branum at Turf Club Peter White at The DakotaConcerts on Thursday, May 8: Minnesota Tango Music Festival at The Parkway Theater Giacomo Turra at The Dakota Dosh w/ Anthony Cox and Chris Thomson at Berlin Kevin Kaarl at The Fillmore Manias, The Customers, and Rodents at Cloudland Theater Ghost-Note at The Dakota Raynes with Eldest Daughter at Turf Club The Front Porch Swingin' Liquor Pigs at Palmer's Bar Annie Fitzgerald and Mother Banjo at Aster Cafe Sonic Sea Turtles, Odd Prospect, Lana Leone, and berzica at 7th St. Entry Late Night Radio with DMVU and rsrch_chmcls at Fine Line PaviElle French, composer and vocalist at The Landmark Center (free) Early Evening Jazz: The Willie August Project at Berlin (no cover) Concerts on Friday, May 9: Magnetic Fields play 69 Love Songs at The Fitzgerald Theater Midwest Music Fest at various venues around Winona Lucius with Victoria Canal at Palace Theatre Alison Moyet at Fine Line Allison Russell with Kara Jackson at First Avenue Dan Rodriguez at The Parkway Theater Brantley Gilbert at The Ledge Amphitheater Brett Newski & the Bad Inventions with The Cold Casuals and The Makeout at Zhora Darling The Belfast Cowboys at The Dakota My Kid Banana, Bad Idea, Couch Potato Massacre, Cut Rate Clones, and Murder Curious at Palmer's Bar Ana Everling Quartet at Berlin Annie and the Bang Bang, Mary Bue, and Sawtooth Witch at Aster Cafe Arkansauce with Steam Machine at The Cedar Cultural Center Squid at Turf Club Under Violet, Val Son, and Shady Cove at Cloudland Theater Fish Narc and GAG with Giallo at 7th St. Entry The Melismatics with Benjamin Cartel and Stone Arch Rivals at Icehouse Sugarcoat and Mishi Mega at 331 Club (free) Early Evening Jazz: Carpel / Goodroad / Hurtado at Berlin (no cover) Concerts on Saturday, May 10: Magnetic Fields play 69 Love Songs at The Fitzgerald Theater Lambrini Girls with Party Dozen at First Avenue Brother Ali with DJ Abilities at Icehouse Midwest Music Fest at various venues around Winona Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory w/ Love Spells at Palace Theatre Gang of Four at the Fine Line Corbin with LUCY at Amsterdam Bar & Hall Impossible Prom Kings, Fragged Out, Gradience, Delilah Daybreaks, Courier, Kalopsya, and Exphasis at Palmer's Bar Doinks n' Dubstep feat.

Sturgill Simpson to return to Twin Cities in May for Minneapolis show at Armory
MINNEAPOLIS — Less than a year after his highly-praised stop in St. Paul, Sturgill Simpson will return for another Twin Cities show. Simpson, who went by the alias Johnny Blue Skies for his latest album "Passage Du Desir," announced the "Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies?" tour on Friday. He'll play The Armory in Minneapolis on May 6. Tickets will go on sale for the general public on Feb. 21 at noon through Ticketmaster. There's no opener for the all-ages show, but at Simpson's September show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, he played for about three hours, tearing through songs across his oeuvre and adding in a few covers. He also played in Moorhead the night before. The Kentucky-born country singer won a Grammy for this third album, "A Sailor's Guide to Earth," and has been nominated for several more.

Sturgill Simpson will return to the Twin Cities this spring
Prior to his September show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium, Sturgill Simpson hadn't performed in the Twin Cities in eight years. He's not letting the better part of a decade slip by again. Simpson unveiled a a 2025 tour, dubbed "Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies?," on Thursday, and it'll bring him to The Armory in Minneapolis on May 6. Simpson's tour is billed under his recently-adopted stage name, Johnny Blue Skies. It's the name under which he released his 2024 album Passage Du Desir. He even had "Johnny Blue Skies" listed as an opener for his 2024 tour. The "Long White Line" singer will again perform solo on this tour, promising, "No openers. If you're on time, you're late." Prior to last year's tour, Simpson hadn't performed live regularly for a few years. He had a tour canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic and then canceled a 2021 tour after hemorrhaging his vocal cords. Now, the outspoken songwriter behind the heralded Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, among other records, is making up for lost time. Tickets for the show at The Armory will be available through an artist presale on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, Feb. 21 at noon.
