I feel like the Summer of 2026 is “The Summer of Music” as the number of concerts coming to Minnesota is bigger than I can ever remember.<\/p>\n
Going along with the long-running tradition of events like the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand music series<\/a>, the Minnesota Yacht Club festival<\/a>, the new Minnesota Country Club festival<\/a>, and the opening of the brand new Mystic Lake Amphitheater<\/a> (with nearly 40 shows announced for this summer), there is\u00a0a lot\u00a0<\/em>of live outdoor music to look forward to.<\/p>\n That already huge list just got even larger, as a brand new two-day music festival just got announced for Minnesota <\/a>this summer. This two-night event will also feature different music genres, with one night dedicated to country music and the other night being more of an alt and pop rock theme.<\/p>\n It’s called “Hilde Amplified”, and it is something the City of Plymouth is putting on this summer. The\u00a0Twin Cities area<\/a> suburb’s foray into a big live music event will happen on Friday, July 31, and Saturday, August 1, 2026.<\/p>\n The first night of music will feature country music, with a lineup of stars that includes the following names:<\/p>\n Saturday night will venture into the alt and pop-rock world, with headliners Third Eye Blind<\/strong> and lovelytheband<\/strong> both announced so far, and more acts to be added to this lineup soon.<\/p>\n The music festival will be held at the Hilde Performing Center, which is located\u00a0at 3500 Plymouth Boulevard, behind the City Hall\/Public Safety Building in Plymouth, Minnesota.<\/p>\n Tickets for this 2-night festival are available for either day individually or as a 2-day package. They can be purchased through the City of Plymouth’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Prices range from $29.65 to\u00a0$309.65 for Friday and $29.65 to $154.76 for Saturday. Two-day passes start at $144.15.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for even more live music, the most buzzworthy summer music opportunities in Minnesota seem to be at the new Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee. Here’s a look at the more than 35 shows announced for their 2026 inaugural season.<\/p>\n A new music venue in Minnesota is launching its first season with a lineup clearly designed to make a splash. Once it opens, Mystic Lake Amphitheater will be the state\u2019s largest outdoor amphitheater, and the acts scheduled for its inaugural year span decades and genres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Tony Hart & Nick Cooper<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
