The annual Basilica Block Party starts next Friday, July 7th and spill over to Saturday. Tickets are $60 per day, or if you bought early bird tickets, they were discounted to $55.
We’re big fans of the event, with Basilica Block Party 2015 as one of our all-time favorite shows.
This year, fan-favorites Brandi Carlile and Walk The Moon will be taking the headliner stage.
Please note, there are three stages and their set time overlaps – so either be prepared to see only partial sets or “camp out” at your favorite stage.

POPTONE
at First Avenue
Saturday 07/08/17 (8pm/$20)
first-avenue.com
Poptone is Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins, of Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, and Tones on Tail. Joining the duo to form Poptone will be Haskins’ daughter Diva Dompé, formerly of the Los Angeles rock band Blackblack.
We’re obviously fans, so if you grew up in the same time period, you really need to be at First Avenue on Saturday.
For this retrospective tour, Poptone will play songs from all their previous bands, heavily leaning on the rare Tones On Tail songs. Expect to hear dance classics ‘Ok This Is the Pops’ and ‘Go!’
Transmission’s DJ Jake Rudh will play music videos before the show.

HIPPO CAMPUS and POLIÇA
at Bayfront Park
Saturday 07/08/17 (4:30pm/$25)
bayfrontfestivalpark.com
This is a really solid event. If you live in Duluth, or willing to drive from Minneapolis, the show looks outstanding.
We previously have seen all headlining bands before, with Hippo Campus recently in March 2017 and noted, “The buzz for Hippo Campus at their homecoming show was simply amazing. As soon as the band took the stage, a hundred cellphones went up in the air to record every moment of the band. The audience was generally young teenagers, but that is expected for a semi-rare all-ages weekend show at First Avenue.
The last time we saw Hippo Campus, they were definitely one of the key attractions to Rock the Garden 2016. Their RTG 50-min set “wowed the many in the crowd who were there to see them play a danceable mix of familiar and some yet-to-be-released songs.” Some of those preview songs are now available on their debut record landmark (Grand Jury Records). ”
This show is presented by First Avenue, The Current, and KUMD. Since this is an open area, so the show will go on rain or shine.
Lineup:
Hippo Campus
Polica

Remo Drive
