Sydney trio Middle Kids will be headlining the Fine Line, in support of Faith Crisis Pt 1.

Middle Kids (03 Oct 2021)

We saw Middle Kids in 03 Oct 2021 and wrote, “He jokingly asked what city he was in, and feign ignorance in what day it was. The truth is that this was his first tour, at least that’s what he tells us, and I’m assuming he was really excited to be playing in Minneapolis at the sold out Fine Line.”

Gordi (04 June 2016)

Gordi to open. We saw the Australian singer in June 2016 and noted, “Gordi (not to be confused with the 80s Yugoslav heavy metal band of the same name), is from the Australian town of Canowindra (currently based in Sydney, Australia). Since Gordi is touring in support of her debut EP Clever Disguise (Jagjaguwar), this was her first time in Minneapolis, and they seemed really pleased at the turnout. Her songs are quiet, luckily the audience was respectful and listened to the folky (with a touch of electronica) songs. ”

Paisley Park and First Avenue present The Revolution, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Prince’s Purple Rain. The celebration is so big, it’s set for Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22. To prevent scalpers, there is a strict 4 ticket limit for General Admission tickets and 2 ticket limit for VIP Packages. All tickets are NON-TRANSFERABLE.

With June being Prince’s month (he was born on June 7th), this is the perfect celebration for the influential musician.

Since Prince’s passing, we’ve been keeping him in our memory with these articles:
