First Avenue Photos

I recently went around Minneapolis, St. Paul and a few of the surrounding suburbs to take photos of all the great venues! I took pictures of 24 total venues.

Enjoy these shots I took of First Ave!

First Ave is a Popular Venue

The past years have been successful for the First Avenue Nightclub. First Ave has had the opportunity to host Snow Patrol, Five for Fighting, Hinder and Alice in Chains.

Many of the shows at First Avenue had tickets sell out quickly and fans that waited until the last minute to buy tickets were disappointed. If you don't want to be left standing on the curb, order tickets to see your favorite group at the First Avenue Nightclub now!

There are great events upcoming at First Avenue for the month of May. Take time out of your busy May schedule to take in a concert or two!
