Reactions to US Bank Stadium “Major” concert announcement
The internet was buzzing yesterday and this morning. US Bank Stadium had announced that they were going to make a “major” concert announcement today (Friday, January 6) and people were so curious to find out who it might be. I mean, Taylor Swift is a huge act and she didn’t even get that kind of hype. Well the announcement came and while a lot of people are excited, for others it was a bummer.

They held a press conference at US Bank Stadium this morning about the big show. KARE 11 had a Facebook live video for the press conference. During the press conference, it was said that this show was going to be “one of the biggest nights of live entertainment in the Twin Cities”.

Turns out it’s not just one artist, but two. Ok, that’s great news! The two artists performing together at US Bank Stadium are… *drum rolls*… Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks!
Two HUGE names in music but… was it worth the hype? This is the big question.

The two will perform together on November 10 this year. Tickets, if you’re interested, go on sale Friday, January 13 at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website.
Obviously, a lot of people will be thrilled to hear that these two will be performing together in Minnesota. They’re big names, but a lot of people thought it wasn’t worth teasing and having a press conference.

The announcement was live-streamed on the KARE 11 Facebook page when I was in a meeting with colleagues, so we activated it. When they made the announcement, we all looked at each other and someone said something like “Is that it?”. I don’t want it to sound like I’m bashing Billy Joel or Stevie Nicks, they’re respected artists who are great at what they do. It was so confusing that they get hype like this and an artist like Taylor Swift wasn’t.
Many people online felt the same way. Here are some of the comments I saw under the KARE 11 video:

What did you think? Even if you’re a fan of these two, did you think it was worth all the hype leading up to the announcement?
Spend the Night with Chickens at Unique Minnesota Airbnb
I always love looking at unique places to stay and usually find them on Airbnb. This place in northern Minnesota called AirB-n-BAWK gives you the chance to spend the night right next to the chickens on the farm and you can help out with the farm chores. There are two different houses you can stay in called The Nest and The Perch.
