anni xo will be headlining the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on December 18, 2025.

We saw anni xo in Aug 2024 and wrote, “With their laidback sound and easy voice, Anni XO had quite a fervent group of children dancing in front of the stage. I think going to parks for kids is the equivalent of Daytona Beach for college students, meaning riotous fun. One girl tried to climb on stage, and a father had to be fast on his feet when his son darted up the stairs to join the band.”

Keep For Cheap, Squinny and IAMJOY to open.

JD McPherson is heading out on his SOCKS: A Rock N’ Roll Christmas tour… ending at First Avenue, on December 20, 2025.

We’ve saw JD in May 2023 and said, “The evening began with a succinct and musically tight opening set from Oklahoma native JD McPherson and band, whose rockabilly and roots rock leaning, provided the ideal spark plug as a precursor to the main event. Managing to work in eight songs in just thirty minutes, his “no time to waste” approach was similar to when we last saw live, headlining in Minnesota in the late summer of 2017.”
