One of my most anticipated tours that was on the schedule for 2025 finally landed at the Fillmore in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The ‘In The Airwaves USA 2025 Tour’ featuring the traveling carnival known as Avatar. They have been building up a steady wealth of fans through endless touring with bombastic shows that few bands can match. Fans were ready, I was ready, for another memorable night from a band I never get tired of seeing live.

“The Maximum Fun Tour” which features A Day To Remember, Yellowcard and The Wonder Years were greeted to a packed venue, the Armory, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A fourth band, Dinosaur Pile Up, was on the bill but have not been able to join the tour yet. The anticipation was high and you could feel the energy in the air as the crowd waited for the show to begin. The Wonder Years hit the stage first. Formed in 2005 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania and have released seven full length albums.

The hard rocking band Halestorm blew into Teasure Island Casino & Resort in Welch, Minnesota like a mid-summer thunderstorm. Laced with loud guitars, big vocals and infectious tunes, the crowd was treated to a good old fashioned rock-n-roll show. Halestorm are currently on the road in support of the new album ‘Everest.’ It dropped on August 8, 2025 and it is the sixth studio album by the band.
