First Avenue adds slew of new shows for 2021, 2022

Live music is slowly returning to the Twin Cities after more than a year of most shows being canceled due to COVID-19. 

While many big summer concerts are canceled, postponed or in flux, some venues have been hosting outdoor shows or small indoor shows, and First Avenue over the past week has announced a slew of shows planned for later this year and spring 2022 at its various venues.
