Several venues in the Twin Cities are eyeing a return to live events. Author: Danny Spewak Updated: 10:28 PM CDT May 11, 2021 MINNEAPOLIS — Live events are finally on the horizon again across the Twin Cities. The Guthrie Theater announced that public spaces will reopen on July 8, followed by productions in October. First Avenue is targeting a mid-to-late summer return with local and regional performances, and both the Armory and U.S. Bank Stadium have concerts tentatively scheduled starting in August and September. And smaller venues, like restaurants and breweries that feature live performances, have already welcomed musicians back to the stage. Joyann Parker, a singer-songwriter in the Twin Cities, has enjoyed performing for crowds lately at smaller, intimate venues – a nice change of pace from her virtual performances early in the pandemic.
