Photos: Rock the Garden 2016

Read More Rock the Garden The second Rock the Garden music festival on Sunday saw a seemingly bigger crowd, particularly near the front of the stage. … The Flaming Lips I think this was my first time seeing The Flaming Lips, but I could be wrong. Seems odd that this was "a very special Early Evening performance", since the band's psychedelic/space rock seems to work better at night … Chance the Rapper Chance the Rapper is headlining the Myth. Metro Boomin, D.R.A.M, and Towkio to open (6:30pm/$39.95). …

The annual Rock the Garden took place at Boom Island on Saturday, June 18th, in Minneapolis. The sold-out event was historic a few ways: this was the first Rock the Garden festival to be held outside of the garden outside the Walker Art Center, and also would go down as the last Grrrl Prty show. Plus, because of the size of the location, they were able to set up two stages for the 14,000 music fans that turned up at the sunny event.

As we also previously mentioned, Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips made a guest appearance at the Graveface Road Show at the Turf Club that evening!

More details later, this post is just for photos and some information.
