Minnesota’s Great Northern announced their 2025 festival lineup recently.

25 Jan 2025 SaturdayThe Vaccines
with THUS LOVE
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com
The Vaccines to return to Minneapolis, headlining the Fine Line, on January 25, 2025.
We saw the band in Jun 2022 and said, “Vermont’s trio Thus Love was next on the lineup. The trio (Echo Mars, Lu Racine, and Nathaniel van Osdol) formed in 2018. They’re working on their debut album, but already released a few Demo albums. Watching the band’s high energy performance and post-punk music style… it’s hard to believe that they took inspirations from van Osdol’s jazz collection.”
