August in the Twin Cities is going to be INSANE. A lot of concert tours are coming through town, and none are bigger than Metallica bringing two nights of completely different songs with completely different opening acts to U.S. Bank Stadium on their M72 World Tour.

Tickets are on-sale now, and you could also win a pair of tickets!

Mammoth WVH w/Nita Strauss at First Avenue in Minneapolis

The 2nd stop of Mammoth WVH's biggest (so far) headlining tour was at the iconic First Avenue in Minneapolis on November 5th, 2023. Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper's guitarist) opened the show. There were zero Van Halen songs played (as Wolfgang Van Halen has said will happen numerous times in the past) but the spirit of his father was present in the joy Wolfgang displayed in his performance. The set was filled with Wolfie's rockers, and included a brief but emotional solo acoustic set by Wolfgang that featured "The Distance"...a song written for his late father, guitar hero Edward Van Halen.
