Minneapolis This Week (January 18, 2026)
Here is what is going on this week in Minneapolis/St Paul, ending on January 18, 2026: • The Cactus Blossoms at Turf Club (Jan 12, 2026) • AJ Lee & Blue Summit at Turf Club (Jan 14, 2026) • Greg Freeman at 7th St Entry (Jan 18, 2026)
It’s that time of the year again, The Cactus Blossoms will be doing their 2026 Residency at the Turf Club every Monday.
We last saw The Cactus Blossoms in June 2025 and wrote, “The Grand Stage grounds were completely full by the time The Cactus Blossoms took the stage. And even though the swell of humanity made the venue feel like an outdoor sauna, not one bead of sweat could be found on this cooler than cool retro folk-rock duo of Jack Torrey and Page Burkum.”
Betty Won’t to open.

Santa Cruz’s AJ Lee & Blue Summit is kicking off their Winter tour at the Turf Club, in St Paul, on January 14, 2026. I am sure they’re going to be in a rude awakening when they arrive in a frozen tundra that is Minnesota in January. Wear a parka!
Steam Machine to open. Wait until Valve release their Steam Machines, it’s going to confuse this band!
