Texas’ Toadies are back on tour in support of their forthcoming album The Charmer – set for release on May 1 on Spaceflight Records.

The ticket limit is strict. Any attempt to exceed the posted ticket limit per customer or household, or to game the system in any way, will result in cancellation of orders without notice. There is a transfer delay for all tickets prior to the show.

The Toadies

We saw Toadies in Oct 2022 and said, “The Toadies (singer/guitarist Vaden Todd Lewis, drummer Mark Reznicek, lead guitarist Clark Vogeler, and bassist Doni Blair) closed out the night. As expected, the band played the entire Rubberneck album… but before the album, they played some classic Toadies songs… and a new song called “Closer to You”, which they are hoping they can record it for the next album. Rubberneck was (and is) The Toadies’ most important album, originally released in 1994 on Interscope Records and earning the band RIAA gold and platinum status. Their song, “Possum Kingdom”, as well as “Away” and “Tyler”, established the band on the global stage.”

Em Beihold at Greenroom (April 13, 2025)

We saw Em Beihold in April 2025 and wrote, “Em Beihold is a Los Angeles based singer & songwriter in the pop rock genre. Like many musicians of her generation, she initially gained notice through her release of singles that got attention on Tik Tok. Those singles, particularly Numb Little Bug, ultimately got her signed to Republic Records. Beihold has a pair of EP’s, including 2022’s Egg in the Backseat. And given that Tik Tik run to popularity, it probably isn’t surprising to note that her fans ran quite young, with a hefty set of tweeners in attendance with a parent. (Parents were split on whether to stand with their child or grab a seat upstairs, really running 50-50.)”

It’s very exciting to see UK’s The Last Dinner Party returning to America, in support of From the Pyre (Island Records). The band is more popular than ever, thanks to their CBS This Morning’s appearance.

Details about their MN show:

$1 from every ticket sold will go to TAC and their work supporting LGBTQ Youth across the country.

Last Dinner Party

We saw the band on their first Minneapolis appearance in April 2024 and wrote, “On their maiden US tour, the band stopped by First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on Thursday night. The venue was packed full of diehard fans, who all wore dresses or suits. The fashion was a nod to The Last Dinner Party’s fashion sense… but they were also dressed as if they were attending a dinner party. It’s really fun to both watch the band on stage, but also watching the audience. What’s cool about these Last Dinner Party shows is that you can bring a canned food and, in exchange, you’re gifted a personalized ribbon. The cans are collected and donated to a local food bank.”
