Uptown Music Scene
Uptown Minneapolis is humming again — not just with energy, but with live music spilling out onto the streets. Once a cornerstone of the city’s nightlife, Uptown’s music scene is making a powerful comeback with a mix of iconic favorites and exciting new stages.
At the heart of the resurgence is the Brownstone Jazz Club, a highly anticipated new venue opening on Hennepin Avenue that promises to bring world-class jazz and R&B back to the neighborhood. Uptown Theater, a legendary space, continues to host major acts and packed shows, drawing crowds from across the metro. Just down the street, Granada Theater offers a more intimate setting, blending historic architecture with modern sound. And the neighborhood’s porch-to-porch concerts through events like Uptown Porchfest keep the vibe grassroots, local, and alive.
Whether it’s the smooth rhythm of a jazz quartet, the energy of a sold-out rock show, or a summer night porch jam — Uptown is once again the place to discover live music.
