Kacey Musgraves is steering her Middle of Nowhere Tour straight into downtown Minneapolis this fall, locking in a single Target Center stop for Tuesday, Sept. 22. The arena date lands as part of a broader North American run announced Wednesday and lines up just ahead of Musgraves' new album, Middle of Nowhere, which is slated to drop May 1. Local fans might want to clear the calendar now: the trek launches late this summer and is set to sweep major arenas across the continent.
The tour is scheduled to kick off Aug. 21 at Chicago's United Center and wrap up in Seattle on Oct. 27. Along the way, Musgraves will be joined by a rotating cast of openers, including Midland, Carter Faith and Flatland Cavalry, as reported by Pitchfork.
Tickets and presales
American Express cardholders get first crack at tickets starting Tuesday, May 5 at 10 a.m. local time. A fan presale through Musgraves' website follows on Wednesday, May 6 at 10 a.m., with the general on-sale for everyone else set for Friday, May 8 at 10 a.m. local time, according to Ticketmaster. Bring Me The News has also flagged the Minneapolis date and shared a registration link for the artist's fan presale.
At the Target Center
The Target Center calendar lists Musgraves' Minneapolis stop for Tue., Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and currently labels the show "On Sale Soon." The arena gives its address as 600 First Avenue North, Minneapolis 55403, and its event page provides the date and start-time information for anyone double-checking their plans. Fans can review entry rules, bag guidelines and accessibility details on the venue calendar at Target Center.
New album and what she might play
Middle of Nowhere is due out May 1 via Lost Highway Records, and the album's tracklist features collaborations with Gregory Alan Isakov, Billy Strings, Miranda Lambert and Willie Nelson, according to the label's product page. Musgraves has already rolled out the single "Dry Spell" ahead of the full release and teased more new material during a surprise Coachella appearance, as noted by Nashville.com.
For anyone planning to go, the first step is registering for the fan presale on Musgraves' official website, then setting a reminder for the general on-sale at 10 a.m. on May 8. Bring Me The News has a rundown of the Minneapolis details and the registration link, while tickets will also be offered through Ticketmaster and the Target Center event listing.
