Ashnikko brought her Smoochies Tour to the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota, transforming the historic venue into a vibrant, candy-colored world built on confidence, charisma, and community. With opening support from Princess Nokia, the night was full of bold outfits, charisma, and playful chaotic energy.

Two decades after If Only You Were Lonely put heartbreak on the map for an entire generation, Hawthorne Heights returned to the iconic First Avenue in Minneapolis on March 9th, 2026, to remind us why the album became a staple of the mid-2000s emo scene. The band played the record in full, but not before supporting acts Creeper and Letlive delivered theatrical, emotional, and chaotic sets that hyped the crowd for a night built on celebration and nostalgia.

A sold-out crowd packed into Minneapolis’ 7th Street Entry on December 13 for Ekoh’s Broken Heart Collector Tour, turning the already small venue into an intensely intimate space where every lyric, beat, and emotion felt amplified. With barely any distance between artist and audience, the night unfolded less like a typical concert and more like a shared emotional experience.
