The Ike Reilly Assassination
with Tommy Stinson and Flamin’ Oh’s
at First Avenue

The Ike Reilly Assassination will be headlining First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on November 25, 2026.

We saw Ilke Reilly in November 2025 and wrote: “The headliner, The Ike Reilly Assassination, finally made their way to the main stage. Reilly plays all around the blues rock / folk /punk genres with his gravelly vocals. With eight albums, including the 2021 release Because the Angels, Reilly has carved out an interesting space in American rock. He is the subject of a highly regarded documentary called Don’t Turn Your Back on Friday Night. Appearing as a quintet (vocals/guitar, keys/guitar, guitar, bass, and drums), The Ike Reilly Assassination came out with a bluesy rock sound. The Boat Song (We’re Getting Loaded) was high flying and the crowd was into it. Living in the Wrong Time had three additional vocalists (they looked related, and it turned out to be three of Reilly’s sons) appear on stage, adding a depth and complexity that was fun.”

Tommy Stinson and Flamin’ Oh’s to open.

November 29, 2026 Sunday
Whitechapel
at The Fillmore

Whitechapel is celebrating their 20th Anniversary with a special North American tour … stopping by the Fillmore, in Minneapolis, on November 29, 2026.

Chelsea Grin , The Acacia Strain, and Netherwalker to open.

We saw Whitechapel in October 2016 and wrote: “Up next was Whitechapel. Personally, I love these guys and was super happy to have them back in the Twin Cities after going a while without a visit from them. Thursday night was the first time they had been in town since releasing their newest album, Mark of the Blade, in June of this year. This album was met with a lot of criticism because it was the first album from this band where singer Phil Bozeman, who is known for his extreme vocal style, had clean vocals. On all of the previous releases, Bozeman’s intense and dark vocals were what drew many fans into the band. The softer songs on the new album didn’t stop Whitechapel from playing through old songs that got the crowd pushed and shoved their way through. It was interesting to see how the crowd reacted when the band played through one of the new songs with a much calmer feeling to it. It was obvious that the crowd was being respectful and watching the band but they stood still and the energy in the venue instantly dropped. As fast as the energy dropped, it came right back when the band played their signature, fast and heavy metalcore anthems.”
