October 14 at 7:30pm
Walker Art Center · Calhoun Isles
Three singular artists weave metallophone, synth, and guitar into hazy ambient-folk soundscapes on their debut album, HUG. Come ready to drift: this music belongs to starry nights and slow Sunday mornings alike.
October 14 at 6pm
First Avenue · Central Minneapolis
Paris Paloma's dark, witchy folk-pop finds a fitting home at First Avenue, the gritty club Prince made famous in Purple Rain. Expect soaring vocals, raw emotion, and a room steeped in music history.
October 14 at 8pm
First Avenue · Central Minneapolis
billy woods and ELUCID turn political pressure and everyday grit into dense, disorienting rap. Catch the underground duo's intricately layered live show inside Minneapolis's most storied room.
October 15 at 7pm +1
Dakota · Central Minneapolis
A rap god walks into a jazz club. Rakim, the microphone master who rewrote hip-hop's rulebook in 1986, brings his effortless flow to an intimate room, backed by Minneapolis fusion upstarts Room3 Collective.
October 15 at 8pm
Icehouse · Powderhorn • $18-$25
Two Twin Cities songwriters, one bilingual, genre-hopping night. Yazmin and Beat Zero blend Cuban rhythms with soulful folk-jazz, while Javier Trejo jumps from Tejano to ska to country ballads. Bring your dancing shoes and your feelings.
October 15 at 9pm
Hook & Ladder Theater · Longfellow • $14-$20
My Kid Banana brings slasher-flick obsession and pop-punk hooks to a bill stacked with dystopian punk, gritty alt-rock, and underground noise. Four bands, zero chill, plenty of horror nostalgia.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
