Here is a guide of some Minneapolis (and St Paul) live concerts and events taking place next week: July 6 - July 12. This week we're "spilling" over to Wisconsin because of Minnesota's flooding problems (which has already caused A Taste of Minnesota to move location).

SUNDAY, JULY 6
HENRY MAIER FESTIVAL PARK
Summerfest
John and I talked about Milwaukee's Summerfest on our Minnesota Music Festivals Podcast, but it ended up on the cutting floor because of: (1) It's not Minnesota, and (2) It was confusing with "Somerset, Wisconsin": Soundtown (in Somerset) and Summer Set (again, in Somerset).
Summerfest is certified by the Guinness World Records, the festival is "The World's Largest Music Festival" (based on its 75-acre coverage). Yes, bigger than Glasto.
Lineup for their last day:

WEDNESDAY, JULY 9
THE VARSITY THEATER
Veruca Salt w/ Battleme
Possibly one of my favorite moment this year was when I was told that Veruca Salt reformed! Yes, that's right, the original team (Nina, Louise, Steve, and Jim) are back together, recording new music and will be heading out on tour!
It has been a long, long time, but I absolutely cannot wait to hear their classic songs "Seether", "Get Back", "All Hail Me", "Spiderman '79" -- heck, play the whole American Thighs album live, I'm on board all the way!
Opening up for VS is Battleme, which Emily described as looking like "the lovechild of Joseph Arthur and Frank Zappa."

FRIDAY, JULY 11
BASILICA OF ST MARY
Basilica Block Party
The 20th Anniversary of the Basilica Block Party is taking place on Friday (July 11) and Saturday (July 12).
I have mentioned before that it's not a great place to see music (because of the talkers in the audience). Although these events are put together to help restore the Basilica of St Mary, people often forget why they are there....
