summer shows.

since we just got another 6 inches of snow, apparently minnesota forgot that it's april and supposed to be spring (silly minnesota), i am dreaming of warmer weather and one of my favorite things about summer: concerts galore.

i already know i won't be able to get to all of these shows/festivals but these are the ones that have made the list of "hopefully i'll be able to swing it monetarily and time-wise and convince someone else to go with me and yeah."

  • may 2nd- dave barnes at the music box in minneapolis. he's funny and talented and i've never been to this venue so it would be fun to see.
  • may 10th- the we won't be shaken tour at north central in minneapolis. i mostly just wanna see my friend micah play. he's the new guy in hawk nelson. 
  • june 12th- needtobreathe at the skyway theater in minneapolis. these fellas are always a yes. such a killer live show and i'll know all the words to all the songs because i've pre-ordered the new album like some kind of super fan.  
  • june 17th- one republic at the target center in minneapolis. ryan tedder can do no wrong in the pop world. 
  • july 12-13th- basilica block party in minneapolis. they haven't even announced the line-up yet but it's within walking distance of my house and they always get phenomenal artists.
  • july 17-19- sonshine in willmar, mn. last year the line-up sucked but they have redeemed themseleves; this year's line up includes judah & the lion, green river ordinance, switchfoot, brady toops, ravenhill, tfk, hope country, ff5, jonathan thulin, and it's rumored that needtobreathe is the 'surprise artist' on friday night. 
  • august 23rd- minneapolis cultivate festival put on by chipotle. it's free. the mowgli's and grouplove are playing. CHIPOTLE. i'm in. 
  • august 29-31st- the fashion meets music festival in columbus, ohio. this sucker is also free and parachute, cold war kids, abandon kansas, switchfoot, new found glory, circa survive, and more are playing. hello, road trip.
i'm sure others will be added to the list and more and more tour dates pop up but that's the running list as of this snowy april day. what shows are you looking forward to this summer?!
