A new presenting sponsor and a little arts funding from the city of St. Paul are going a long way for the 2025 return of Lowertown Sounds, which just announced the lineup for its nine free concerts in Mears Park this summer. A few well-known Twin Cities artists will play the Thursday night outdoor series for the first time in 2025, including Dr. Mambo's Combo, Yam Haus and Molly Brandt. They join a list of returning Minnesota favorites on the June 12-Aug.

After formally declaring the end of Fleetwood Mac last year following Christine McVie's death in 2022, Stevie Nicks is hitting the road on her own again in 2025 and making Xcel Energy Center one of her stops. The twice-indicted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will play the St. Paul hockey arena on Aug. 19 as part of a nine-show solo run. Tickets for the Tuesday night concert go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster, with presale options beginning Thursday.

Bluegrass music bookings at the Minnesota State Fair have gone down in recent years after the revamp of the West End Stage and unplugging of the Ramperg Senior Center, so it's a fine time for a couple popular bands of that ilk to step up and play the grandstand in 2025. Poppy, banjo-laced hitmakers the Avett Brothers will headline the fair's big stage on Aug. 29 with another bluegrassy crossover band, the Milk Carton Kids, for openers.

While she's excited about hosting an in-store set by the Scarlet Goodbye and selling a new Replacements reissue - a band partly born out of her storefront - Lucky Cat Records owner Michele Swanson realized there's a downside to being a store owner on Record Store Day.

I can’t tell if Brian’s rather ragged voice is getting better as the show goes on, or I’m just getting more used to it? Angus on the other hand has been hitting like a brick to the face all night.
