From Palmfest to Arena Pop-Punk, This Week’s Complete Concert Calendar Has the Proverbial ‘It All’
Pretty much all the music within earshot this week.
Former young person Avril Lavigne will be in St. Paul this week.
It's been a quiet year for arena shows, but this week sees the arrival of pop-punk Machine Gun Kelly, country nice guy Alan Jackson, and the mouthiest Pink Floydster, Roger Waters. The real fun is just as likely to be had over at Palmer's, where a three-day Palmfest collects a bunch of great local rock.
