Trent Reznor is back! and coming to Target Center Minneapolis

After months of speculation the rumors are true! Trent Reznor is bringing the latest Nine Inch Nails line up to the Target Center this summer!!!! Not only is this very exciting because this Nine Inch Nails’ tour is the first one since 2006, but the United States NIN tour is kicking off in Minneapolis on August 2nd, 2008!

The tour is in support of the new Nine Inch Nails album Ghosts. Nine Inch Nails Ghosts album was released via the nin.com website. Like Radiohead did last year, they offer their album as a digital download, allowing the fan to pay whatever they want. You can pay $1 or $10 for the whole album. Nine Inch Nails offer multiple download options for the new Ghosts album, if you pay in certain price levels you can buy packages that include bonus tracks or digital booklets. Trent Reznor always offers new and innovative ways for Nine Inch Nails albums. There is also a Nine Inch Nails You Tube video contest where Trent Reznor is asking the fans to make the videos for the songs on the Ghosts album. Again, another new way that Trent Reznor is trying to include his fans determining the outcome of his music.

In the past Nine Inch Nails tickets have sold out very fast. Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails tour only once or twice a decade so these Target Center tickets will go quickly!

Harlem Globetrotters

Someone asked me in the office the other day what the Harlem Globetrotters were and I replied, “Remember those cool basketball guys from Scooby-Doo?” That is how I remember the Harlem Globetrotters, but I know they are even bigger than their Scooby Doo appearances. The Harlem Globetrotters put on a unique basketball show on hardwoods across the country, selling out some of the biggest basketball arenas. I am pretty sure there will be more people at the Target Center Harlem Globetrotters shows than at some of the Timberwolves games this year.

The Globetrotters ball-handling magic and gravity-defying dunks will be a welcome sight in the NBA defunct Minneapolis market.

Alicia Keys and Jordin Sparks

Alicia Keys is bringing her “As I Am Tour” to the Target Center Minneapolis on Wednesday, April 30th. Tickets go on sale to the public this Saturday, March 15th. This last minute stop at the Target Center is sure to be big for Keys, who has won nine Grammys and has sold over 40 million albums. Alicia Keys tickets will sell quickly especially because she is bringing American Idol superstar Jordin Sparks with her. If you need a good date night concert, the Alicia Keys concert is a sure winner!

Kayne West at Target Center

The Target Center event managers are busy trying to fill the Target Center summer schedule. One of those hot summer shows will Kayne West on June 11th. Kayne West tickets went on sale last week and I can already see Minnesota ticket brokers like Ticket King have lower level tickets near the stage starting out at $150. The face value of the Kayne West tickets was high, the best tickets sold for face at $128 per ticket. That is rather expensive for an artist that irritated Minneapolis fans when he cancelled his appearance in December at the Jingle Ball show. It will be interesting to see if fans will pay the big bucks to see the hot artist or if they will shun his summer show.

Cheap Timberwolves Tickets at Target Center

Minnesota Timberwolves Tickets are cheap from local ticket brokers. In fact it looks like sites like www.timberwolvestickets.com has Timberwolves tickets at below face value. There are some good deals for basketball fans to come out to the Target Center and see the NBA in person. The Timberwolves Schedule still has plenty of opportunities to get out to the Target Center and see a game. In fact, the Wolves have 11 home games left, so get out to the Target Center and support your Minnesota Timberwolves!

Target Center Concert Schedule has something for everyone

The Target Center Minneapolis continues to book a wide array of music for Minnesota music lovers. Whether you were a teen girl shrieking for the Jonas Brothers on Wednesday or you are holding Target Center tickets for the Foo Fighters this Wednesday or you prefer to see a live contemporary Christian show like Toby Mac and Jeremy Camp on Saturday March 1st, the Target Center has it all.

Other upcoming shows include punk rocker girl Avril Lavigne and Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin later in March. Check out the Target Center Schedule for a complete list of events.

Foo Fighters at the Target Center

It’s less than a month away that the Foo Fighters will be in Minneapolis playing at the Target Center! Foo Fighters tickets have always been a hot item in Minneapolis, Dave Grohl always declares his love for the city and never forgets to let the audience know it! Target Center tickets for this show are sure to sell out so make sure you buy them soon! Dave Grohl and company are touring in support of their most recent album, “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.”

The Foo Fighters will be at the Target Center Wednesday, February 27th, 2008. Against Me! will be the opening act for the tour’s stop at the Target Center.

This is the first headlining show that the Foo Fighters have played in the past 5 years in Minneapolis. Last time they were in town they opened for Bob Dylan supporting their acoustic portion of ‘In Your Honor.’ They co-headlined the time before that with Weezer, but this time around they are 100% headlining the show! They close every show with ‘Everlong’ and I cannot wait to hear it!

Grab your Foo Fighters tickets fast – they will be impossible to find in a very short amount of time!
