Tomahawk at First Avenue (Aug 5, 2026)
Supergroup Tomahawk (featuring Faith No More’s Mike Patton, Jesus Lizard’s Duane Denison, Helmet’s John Stanier, Melvins’ Kevin Rutmanis) will be headlining First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on August 5, 2026. Typically with supergroups, it’s a rare thing to see them all together, because each individual has their own project and schedule.
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.
Melvins to open. We saw the band in April 2016 and noted, “Second to play Sunday night was The Melvins. These guys have a huge following in Minneapolis. I truly thought they were from here but apparently that’s not true at all, people up here just really, really like them and you could tell by watching the crowd. Singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne, aka King Buzzo (dressed in an illuminati robe), and was joined on stage by bassist Steven Shane McDonald and Dale Crover (the latter two wearing t-shirts with their first name). Fun fact, McDonald is normally the bassist to the legendary Redd Kross…. and was probably the reason why the Melvins covered “Frosted Flake” on their set.”
If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to vu@weheartmusic.com with a good lead time. Thank you.
