Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy are co-headlining the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on October 10, 2026.
We’ve seen both bands before, with Snail Mail comes to mind on her headlining show at First Avenue in July 2019 describing the show: “This was Snail Mail’s fifth time in the Minneapolis area (which we previously listed or spotlight every time: May 2017, July 2017, October 2017, June 2018, and July 2019), but this was the first time she’s graced the larger mainroom at First Avenue. Lindsey smiled and said, “Thanks for making this happen.” The dancefloor was completely filled with young fans, dancing and singing along. It’s clear that all her previous appearances (which all happened within two years!) that she’s built up a solid fanbase from word of mouth. Watching how easily Snail Mail plays as a band, easing into the next song, and just naturally performing on stage. It’s hard to believe that Lindsey is only 20 years old. It should be interesting to see what they have in store for us for the inevitable next album.”
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.

Karina Rykman at 7th St Entry (Oct 11, 2026)
Acclaimed singer-songwriter-bassist Karina Rykman is headlining the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on October 11, 2026, in support of Late Checkout (Karina Rykman/High Rotation Records).
We saw Rykman in Feb 2024 and wrote, “Like her previous appearance, she is certainly all-smiles and laughter throughout the set. In fact, Rykman mention what an honor it was to play at the historic First Avenue venue (the 7th Street Entry is within the same building). She took a photo of her famous smile in front the venue. I’ll have to admit, it’s weird to hear her sing, as most of the songs I’m used to seeing her play are more instrumental (and heavy on the bass). She did play her single “Joyride” early in the set… and after another song, a surprise cover of Wet Leg’s “Chaise Longue”. Best moment in that song was waiting for the audience to sing back, “What?””

† FESTIVAL APPEARANCE
Hiromi Trio at the Dakota Jazz Club (October 12, 2026)
Jazz piano phenomenon Hiromi is returning to Minneapolis on October 12, performing at the Dakota Jazz Club, billed as Hiromi Trio (with James Genus and Simon Phillips).
We saw Hiromi in May 2023 and wrote, “After a nine year hiatus, Hiromi Uehara returned to Dakota Jazz Club to offer the audience an inside peak to her new band, Sonicwonder, with Adam O’Farrill on trumpet, Hadrien Feraud on electric bass and Gene Coye on drums. “It’s our world premiere,” said Hiromi to the crowd. It was indeed their first public appearance with sheet music at the ready and songs still to be fine tuned before going into the studio to record their first album. Lowell Pickett, the host for the evening, said Hiromi wanted a few intimate settings to work out the kinks, and she could do no better than the downtown Minneapolis venue. ”
