If you've been keeping an eye on the lineup of shows planned for the inaugural season at the new Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee, Minnesota, you may have noticed a clear trend. The schedule has leaned heavily into rock, until now.

Old school rock acts like Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and Guns n' Roses have already been announced for the first season. The lineup also includes 90s pop rock favorites like the Goo Goo Dolls and Train. With so many guitar-driven shows on the calendar, fans across Minnesota have been wondering if any pop music would make its way to the stage.

The answer is yes, but it comes later in the season.

The 19,000-seat outdoor venue is set to become the largest amphitheater in the state, and this announcement signals a broader range of genres coming to the new stage as its first season unfolds.

Ticket Details and Presale Information

The artist presale is open for sign-ups through January 26 at 9 PM. That presale begins January 28 at 10 AM. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 30 at 10 AM through Ticketmaster.

Pitbull was last in Minnesota during the 2022 State Fair, where he headlined a sold-out Grandstand show with special guest Iggy Azalea. The performance received strong reviews and proved that Minnesota audiences still show up in a big way for high-energy pop shows.

With a fall date at a brand-new amphitheater and Lil Jon joining the party, fans can expect a loud, high-energy night that breaks up an otherwise rock-dominated first season in Shakopee. Dale!
