Hard rock giants Breaking Benjamin will headline Mystic Lake Amphitheater, in Shakopee, on September 22, 2026.

We saw Breaking Benjamin in June 2025 and noted, “For Pennsylvania rockers Breaking Benjamin, they have also found themselves with BMG Records as well, having signed a deal last October, and releasing single, “Awaken” (which also helped name the tour), their first new song in five years. A new album is expected soon and the band’s most recent full-length is 2018’s Ember, though they did release a compilation of re-recorded songs, Aurora, in 2020… which comes into play later. Lights dimmed in the arena and the taped intro of 2015’s “Dark” prepared the crowd for what was to come. The curtain fell with the beginning riffs of 2015’s “Failure”- a song about the themes of resiliency, struggle and overcoming adversity. Themes that are not only relatable to most but also sum up the band’s continued fight for sustained success over the last couple decades. On the left of singer/guitarist Ben Burnley was his younger reflection, his mini-me, and perhaps the version 2.0 of the band’s future – his ten-year-old son Ben IV, aka “Cheech”, who sang and played guitar at his dad’s side for the duration of the show (so, that’s one extra person ID’d, but there was still another….?).”

Chevelle, STARSET, and Kami Kehoe to open.
