Cat Power at First Ave (Feb 26, 2026)

Cat Power is on tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of her milestone 2006 album, The Greatest. The tour will stop by First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on February 26, 2026.
We saw Cat Power in March 2024 and wrote, “The idea of this concert came from Cat Power’s love for Bob Dylan and her obsession of Bob Dylan’s “Royal Albert Hall Concert” in 1966 (which is actually a mislabeled bootleg for the Dylan’s Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966). The famed original performance saw Dylan playing a traditional acoustic and harmonica set… but then, midway in his show, he switched to electric – and that drew a lot of outrage from the purists in the crowd, who did not want their rock ‘n’ roll in their folk. Cat Power took on the task recreating the original Dylan concert, song-for-song… but in her own unique singing style and arrangement. The first part of the show, is definitely a quieter set. The stage light is dimmed, the hall lights are turned off, it’s like you’re watching a musical. The audience was extremely respectful and quiet, you can hear a pin drop (or a guy sipping his drink). The focus is on Cat Power, with acoustic guitars from Henry Munson and harmonica/pianist Aaron Embry*.”

Christy Costello & the CC Club at 7th St Entry (Feb 27, 2026)

at 7th St Entry

Minneapolis’ Christy Costello, billed as Christy Costello & the CC Club, will be headlining the 7th Street Entry, on February 27, 2026.
We saw Christy Costello in Feb 2025 and said, “Christy Costello started with a music video ahead of their appearance. Costello’s music has a more retro rock sound, with a bit of a surf rock feel. It’s a sizable band with several members on brass and Monica LaPlante, who we saw earlier this month, on bass. This had great energy throughout, with a secondary percussion member dancing and basically playing hype woman with the crowd. Costello’s vocals cut through the complicated backing music and there is a real showmanship in addition the great musical chops.”
Edging, Mary Jam and Catbath to open.
Christy Costello writes:
Friday February 27th we’re gonna bring the heat into the deepfreeze at The 7th St Entry!! We’re still riding the high of Saturday’s super fun high energy Turf Club Show! So we can’t wait to do it again and trickle in some killer new tunes at this one! I can’t express enough how lit this line-up is! Ticket link is are in our bios🎉

Fear no more freaks, Edging is here to liberarte you with heavy riffs, searing sax, and queer chaos! Edgings punk fueled songs delve deep into the complexities of the human experience. Drawing from human rights, trans and queer identities, societies inevitable collapse and well, frustration. The band channels this emotion into one of the most high energy shows you can experience. It’s high time the current world got fucked by an Edging show.

Catbath took a few years long ‘cat nap’ and have recently returned to rock our faces! Incase you forgot they are Minneapolis-based indie/garage rock band known for catchy melodies, fuzzy riffs, and energetic live shows!
