Minnesota Gets a Big Summer Night With MGK and Wiz Khalifa

As we count down to the start of the summer concert season, new options are being added almost daily for fans looking to plan their entertainment budgets. With each announcement, the picture of what live music in Minnesota will look like this summer becomes clearer, and increasingly impressive.

A Big Addition to a Growing Lineup

This latest announcement is likely to jump near the top of many concert wish lists. It also adds another layer of variety to an already stacked first-year schedule at a brand-new Minnesota venue that has been generating buzz for months.

Mystic Lake Amphitheater, currently in the final stages of construction in Shakopee as part of a new entertainment district, has already revealed a massive inaugural lineup. That schedule includes iconic rock acts like Motley Crue and Iron Maiden, along with high-energy party shows featuring Pitbull and Ne-Yo with Akon.

After dates overseas in Europe and Australia, MGK will bring the tour to North America for a highly anticipated run of shows that includes outdoor amphitheaters across the country. That run includes Mystic Lake Amphitheater on Monday, June 22.

Presales are already underway through partners like Citi. The venue presale begins Thursday, February 12. Use the code 26MYSTIC for access. General public ticket sales start Friday, February 13, at 10 AM.

From an Intimate Minneapolis Set to a Full Amphitheater

This concert also gives more fans an opportunity to see MGK compared to his most recent Twin Cities appearance. Last August, he surprised fans with a pop-up show at the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis, performing an acoustic set of songs at the iconic record shop from his Lost Americana album for about 250 people.

This time, the setting will be much larger, louder, and designed for a full-scale summer concert experience.
