Low's Alan Sparhawk, Trampled by Turtles bringing new music to the Fitzgerald Theater
Low's Alan Sparhawk, Trampled by Turtles bringing new music to the Fitzgerald Theater originally appeared on Bring Me The News. It's been a busy run over the last year for Alan Sparhawk. The former Low songwriter released his first (more or less) solo album last year, the electronics and autotune-heavy White Roses, My God. He has been touring almost constantly in 2025 and even spent time playing guitar with Circuit des Yeux. This week, he's released another record, a collaboration with fellow Duluthians, Trampled by Turtles. Sparhawk and his bluegrass counterparts will celebrate the record with a home-state show at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul on Dec. 11. They'll perform their new nine-track record at the show, accompanied by an opening set from Nona Invie (Dark Dark Dark), who also happens to have a weekly June residency at Berlin in Downtown Minneapolis that starts on Sunday. (Similar to Sparhawk, Invie released their first solo record earlier this year.) Tickets for Alan Sparhawk with Trampled by Turtles go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Must-see concerts this week: Jack White, AC/DC, Grant Hart tribute
Stadium tours, tributes to Twin Cities music greats, and a whole lot of other musicians are coming through the Twin Cities over the next handful of days. Here are the concerts worth catching during the week of April 7. Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8 at Palace Theatre It was just last fall that Jack White appeared at First Avenue for an underplay shortly after the release of No Name. Now, the tour is circling back around to some bigger venues. During his two-night stand at the Palace, don't expect an epically long concert. He prefers to keep audiences wanting more. While the shows are sold out, there will be low-cost student tickets available at the door. But, if past setlists are any indication, there will be plenty of White Stripes songs. Thursday, April 10 at First Avenue Alan Sparhawk (of Low) released his first solo record last year (if we're not counting 2006's Solo Guitar). A persistent experimenter, White Roses, My God wasn't uncharted territory, but it was a departure from what fans expected from Low. Now, he's announced a collaborative album with fellow Duluth musicians Trampled By Turtles. But before that record arrives, he'll headline First Avenue in a co-bill with Mount Eerie. The prolific and elastic Phil Elverum project is a nice pairing with Sparhawk. Saturday, April 12 at Fine Line The quartet has come a long way since they went viral for a performance of their song "Racist, Sexist, Boy" at the LA Public Library years ago. They came through the Twin Cities last summer, opening for Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, and Rancid at Target Field. Now, following the release of their second album, No Obligation, they're headlining Fine Line on Record Store Day. For the record-buying holiday, they'll be doing a signing at Electric Fetus earlier in the April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium AC/DC's first U.S. tour in a while will kick off at U.S. Bank Stadium. They may be in their '70s, but they're still at it and have, perhaps surprisingly, managed to continue ringing the bell for new generations. (See: My daughter.) Thursday, April 10 at Cloudland Theater In a benefit for LA Wildfire Relief, the long-running Twin Cities rock outfit Rank Strangers will headline a tribute to the late Hüsker Dü drummer and solo artist Grant Hart. The lineup for the night also includes Brian Herb, Nato Coles, The What Have Yous, and on Monday, April 7: Jack White at Palace Theatre Johnnyswim with Micah Edwards at The Uptown Theater Tatiana Eva-Marie & the Avalon Jazz Band at The Dakota Soul Trouvére at 331 Club (free) Wren + Wilde with Emmy Woods at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Roe Family Singers at 331 Club (free) Concerts on Tuesday, April 8: Jack White at Palace Theatre Ani DiFranco with Wryn at First Avenue Sawyer Hill at Fine Line Hiromi's Sonicwonder at The Dakota Just B at Varsity Theater Jackie Greene with Molly Maher at Turf Club Evening Elephants with Samy Sharif at 7th St. Entry Plvs Vltra, Comets Ov Cupid, and Erik's Iridescent Tent at Zhora Darling International Reggae Allstars at Bunker's Unattractive Giant Monster with Obchod Na Korze and Body Sensitive Marge at The White Squirrel Bar (free) Eldest Daughter with Kae Layne/The Daily Norm and Solomon Falls at 331 Club (free)Concerts on Wednesday, April 9: Scott Lucas (Local H) solo set with Busey at Cloudland Theater Tyga at The Fillmore Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas at the Fine Line Hiromi's Sonicwonder at The Dakota Jazz Is Dead feat.

20 of the best concerts in the Twin Cities this spring
It's spring. The concert season in the Twin Cities is ramping up, with arena acts coming to town and, by the end of the season, outdoor concerts getting underway. It's time to plan ahead before all the best shows are sold out. Here are 20 shows that will have music fans talking this spring. Sunday, March 30 at Orpheum Theatre The seminal krautrock group is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Autobahn and their first U.S. tour, promising a multimedia experience with striking visuals. Following a 20-year break from touring in the U.S., the group has come to town just four times, including, most recently, a 2022 show at the State Theatre. With this being a celebration of Autobahn, fans are likely in for something a little different than they've brought to the Twin Cities on their last couple of visits. Friday, April 4 at Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center The Minnesota icon is, as ever, on the road. Only this tour is taking him to smaller markets that probably haven't had a Dylan sighting in a while. The tour includes a night in Mankato on April 4 and one in Eau Claire, Wis., the following evening. Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8 at Palace Theatre It was just last fall that Jack White appeared at First Avenue for an underplay shortly after the release of No Name. Now, the tour is circling back around to some bigger venues. During his two-night stand at the Palace, don't expect an epically long concert. He prefers to keep audiences wanting more. While the shows are sold out, there will be low-cost student tickets available at the door. Thursday, April 10 at First Avenue Alan Sparhawk (of Low) released his first solo record last year (if we're not counting 2006's Solo Guitar). A persistent experimenter, White Roses, My God wasn't uncharted territory for Sparhawk, but it was a departure from what fans expected from Low. Now, he's announced a collaborative album with fellow Duluth musicians Trampled By Turtles. But before that record arrives, he'll headline First Avenue in a co-bill with Mount Eerie. The prolific and elastic Phil Elverum project is a nice pairing with Sparhawk. Saturday, April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium The Grammy-winning rapper and star of February's Super Bowl Half Time Show will open his new tour at U.S. Bank Stadium. He'll be accompanied by SZA, who guests on two tracks of K Dot's new album, GNX. Expect a theatrical presentation from one of the most influential names in hip-hop. Sunday, April 20 and Tuesday, April 22–Wednesday, April 23 at Orpheum Theater The legendary songwriter retired from touring years back, in part because of "severe hearing loss." Nonetheless, he's back with a show configured by his team and the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss that will allow him to comfortably perform. It'll be his first stop in Minnesota since his 2018 farewell tour. Friday, April 25 at Orchestra Hall The Minnesota Orchestra is putting the 'vibrant future' of classical music on display with a program focused on the next generation of composers. Conductor Thomas Søndergård will present work by Kevin Putts, Benjamin Webster, Elisa Arancio, Soomin Kin, and Andrew Faulkenberry. Saturday, April 26 at Target Center The pop star didn't exactly come out of nowhere last year — she's been releasing music for more than a decade — but 'Brat' launched her to new heights. Her arena tour will bring her to the Target Center with Finn Keane opening. Thursday, May 1 at Walker Art Center The prolific art rock group will have a one-of-a-kind performance at the Walker Art Center, celebrating more than three decades as a group. For this show, they'll play a song from each of their 20 studio albums. Thurday, May 1—Sunday, May 4 at 7th St. Entry, First Avenue, and Fine Line The New York band that was born (loosely) from the demise of the Twin Cities-based Lifter Puller is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Separation Sunday. It's a four-night run of underplays, starting with a night at 7th St. Entry and followed by two nights at First Avenue and a show at Fine Line. In between, there's a trivia get-together and other celebratory activities. Sunday, May 4 at The Fitzgerald Theater The Japanese songwriter and multi-instrumentalist crafts enveloping atmospheres, whether it's folkier ballads or the more expansive sonic experiences that fill Luminescent Creatures, the album she released earlier this year. The new record was inspired by sea creatures encountered while diving in the waters of a remote island, and the album feels like a plunge into an ethereal, mysterious new world. 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. 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 and a singular voice. 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. Friday, May 9–Saturday, May 10 in Winona Head to Winona for the sprawling annual festival that puts local groups on stages around town. This year's fest features Charlie Parr, Gully Boys, Humbird, Nur-D, 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.) The show, originally scheduled to take place at 7th St. Entry, has been moved to the First Avenue main room. Saturday, May 24 at Orpheum Theatre The Grammy-winning rapper and actor might seem like a surprising fit with the Orpheum Theatre. The Hennepin Arts calendar isn't typically stocked with hip-hop, but, at a minimum, it'll offer a unique way to experience 2Chainz deep catalog. Saturday, June 14 at U.S. Bank Stadium The Weeknd is accompanying his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, with a tour that brings him to the Twin Cities for the first time since 2017. He has promised that a show that include a 'never-before-seen production' and a setlist that focuses on the album trilogy that has wrapped up with his latest album. Friday, June 6–Saturday, June 7 at Allianz Field The second year of the EDM fest in St. Paul will feature John Summit, Tiësto, and Alison Wonderland, among other performers set to turn the parking lot around Allianz Field into a massive dance party. Though, EDM fans have options during the first weekend of June. This same weekend, the inaugural Force Fields festival launches in Cadott, Wis., with a lineup that includes Marshmello, Rezz, RL Grim, and Liquid Stranger. Wednesday, June 18 at Palace Theatre Devo has announced a new leg of their slow farewell. The seminal band behind Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo will bid adieu to the Twin Cities in June. Sure, it's been a while since their 1978 debut, but this is probably the last crack at seeing a deeply influential pillar of rock music in America. (And, yeah, we know how farewell tours often go. But Devo somehow feels like a band that isn't going to be back on tour a year later.)More spring concerts April 4: Bright Eyes with Cursive at Palace Theatre April 9: Tyler Childers at Target Center April 10: AC/DC at U.S. Bank Stadium April 15: Circuit des Yeux at The Cedar Cultural Center April 19: Bob Mould Band at Palace Theatre April 20: My Morning Jacket at The Armory April 26: Tyshawn Sorey Trio at Walker Art Center April 26: Denzel Curry at The Fillmore April 30: Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals at Amsterdam Bar & Hall May 4: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at The Armory May 9: Lucius at Palace Theatre May 10: Sharon van Etten and the Attachment Theory at Palace Theatre May 13: Katy Perry at Target Center May 20: Post Malone w/ Jelly Roll at U.S. Bank Stadium May 20: Ministry at Palace Theatre May 22: An Evening with Vince Gill at Orpheum Theatre May 29: An Evening with Cake at Surly Brewing Festival Field May 31: Hippo Campus w/ Hotline TNT at Surly Brewing Festival Field June 1: Primus, Puscifier, and A Perfect Circle at Xcel Energy Center June 8: Alison Krauss and Union Station at The Ledge Amphitheater June 9: Bloc Party and Metric at The Armory June 11: Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals at Palace Theatre June 17: Justice at The Armory June 18: Perfume Genius at First Avenue June 19: The Head and the Heart at Palace Theatre
