Minneapolis Events: Concerts, Theatre & Comedy

Minneapolis' listings track close to 770 concerts and over 300 theatre performances, anchored by some of the most historically significant music venues in the Midwest.

The Orpheum Theatre is the city's busiest venue, hosting touring Broadway in its restored 1920s auditorium. First Avenue and its adjoining room, 7th Street Entry — the club Prince made famous in his film "Purple Rain" — remain the city's most iconic live-music address, while Orchestra Hall, home to the Minnesota Orchestra, covers classical programming. Fine Line Music Cafe and Acme Comedy Company round out the mid-size concert and comedy scene downtown.

Few cities can point to a single club with the cultural weight of First Avenue — it's a big part of what makes Minneapolis' music scene distinct.
