Meghan Trainor Bringing 2026 Tour to Minnesota

As we near the end of 2025, it’s time to start planning what concerts and experiences will make it onto our 2026 must-see list. If you’re looking for a show that’s sure to bring the pop energy, add this one to your radar.

Meghan Trainor Bringing Her New Tour to Minnesota

Grand Casino Arena (formerly Xcel Energy Center) in St. Paul announced that Meghan Trainor will bring The Get In Girl Tour to Minnesota on Monday, July 13, 2026. She’ll be joined by special guests Icona Pop and her brother Ryan Trainor, who has joined her on previous tours.

Trainor’s Minnesota Connection

Trainor was just in Minnesota as one of the headliners at the 2025 Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, an appearance that felt like redemption after she was forced to cancel her 2015 Fair show due to a vocal cord injury.

She also has a deeper connection to the state: one of her biggest hits, Like I’m Gonna Lose You featuring John Legend, was co-written by Minnesota native Caitlyn Smith.

Trainor’s upcoming tour will also support a cause close to her heart. A portion of proceeds from the show will benefit The Trevor Project, a nonprofit dedicated to ending suicide among LGBTQ+ youth.
