First Avenue & 7th St Entry

Your Downtown Danceteria since 1970 First Avenue is a music club committed to fostering excellence in the arts, music, and entertainment.

First Avenue encompasses more than just four walls, a soundboard, and a stage: it is the epicenter of live music and entertainment in Minneapolis.

It is--quite simply--what a music club should be.
