Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine is headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, in support of LET’S DO SOMETHING STUPID! (Big Noise Music Group).
We saw Bryce Vine in October 2018 and wrote, “Bryce Vine was up next, and based on the audience’s strong feedback and singing along, they really love this guy. Hearing his lyrics, you can just tell this self-confessed slacker and just sings about the truth. He knows it’s wrong, but he doesn’t give a f*** in “Guilty Pleasure”. Sometime critics easily dismiss rappers, but I’m telling you, this kid is smart and funny, and he has a knack for writing catchy lyrics. Before he ended his set with “Sour Patch Kids” (a song about not wanting to worry and being a kid), he had the audience sing “Happy Birthday” to his new tour manager, Ryan.””

Gogol Bordello at First Avenue (Feb 25, 2026)

International punk band Gogol Bordello (led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz) will be headlining First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on February 25, 2026.
We saw Gogol Bordello in July 2023 and said, “We still stand by our previously statement about Gogol Bordello, from Oct 2017, stating, “If you really want to see the band, buy your ticket early, you’ll thank yourself later. The band is so great live, and, especially with the popular songs like ‘Start Wearing Purple’ and ‘Trans-Continental Hustle’, will have the audience often going crazy for songs (so watching the audience is also half the fun).” We did run into a few people, who was seeing the New York band for the first time on Tuesday night. They decided to buy a ticket based on word-of-mouth recommendation. The large international group is lead by singer/guitarist Eugene Hütz (Ukraine), with violinist Sergey Ryabtsev (Russia), percussionist Pedro Erazo (Ecuador), guitarist Boris Pelekh (Russia), drummer Korey Kingston (USA), bassist Gil Alexandre (Brazil), and accordion Erica Mancini (Argentina). They also used to have two backup singers, Vanessa Walters and Ashley Tobias, but they were absent for this tour… instead for their part, especially in “Dance Around the Fire” and “United Strike Back”, the two girls from Puzzled Panther came on stage to help sing on these songs.”
Puzzled Panther and Boris and the Joy to open.
