Tune-Yards at Fine Line
Kicking off Rocktober properly is Oakland’s Tune-Yards headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on October 1, 2025. We haven’t heard from Tune-Yards in quite a while, but it looks like the duo (Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner) have a new album called Better Dreaming (available now).
We saw tUnE-yArDs in Mar 2018 and wrote, “The stage was set with dramatic lighting framing the back end of the stage and a curved center frame with gauzed curtains that would accentuate the shadows of tUnE-yArDs as the three-piece took to the stage for their seventy-seven minute headlining set beginning with ‘Home’. “I always feel on holy ground” Garbus posted on social media just prior to playing the historic venue. The new album, more electronic than previous, but still dealing with issues including self-identity and appropriation amongst very danceable beats, was the clear focus of the evening, with the group playing just over half of the new tracks, but still saving room for some old favorites as well.”
