Chris Stapleton Added to Lineup at New Minnesota Venue
Chris Stapleton is officially coming back to Minnesota, and this time it’s at a place the land of 10,000 lakes has never seen before.
Buckle up, this summer, the country music superstar will bring his All-American Road Show Tour to Minnesota’s newest and largest outdoor music venue. He puts on one heck of a show! For fans who remember his last Twin Cities stop in the spring of 2024, this upcoming show will definitely be one of the hottest tickets of 2026, not to mention, a chance to experience the start of something big.

He's the first country artist set to perform at the brand new 19,000-seat outdoor venue. Several concerts are planned for the new venue, ranging from classic rock to metal and pop acts.
The venue is currently being built near Canterbury Park in Shakopee and slated to open this summer. It's expected to be a major destination for large-scale concerts in the region, according to the Shakopee website.
I’m talking about the brand new, never‑before‑seen Mystic Lake Amphitheater - the first large‑scale outdoor music venue of its kind in the Twin Cities area.
He's joining an already impressive lineup for the 2026 schedule which already includes acts like Jack Johnson (set to be the first performer on July 12th, 2026), 5 Seconds of Summer, Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte, Goo Goo Dolls, Guns N’ Roses, Train, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner, Mötley Crüe, TOTO with Christopher Cross and The Romantics, Iron Maiden (with Megadeth and Anthrax).
