Late fall is when downtown Minneapolis gets loud in the best way. Between Nov. 2 and Dec. 7, the Armory on South 6th Street and The Fillmore on 5th Street North stack up a run of big-room shows, from Jack White and Underoath to Arch Enemy, Blue October and DragonForce. If you are coming in from out of town (or just do not want to drive home late), this is the guide to what is on, and where to sleep.

Which nights stack up on the same date?
One date puts a show at both rooms. On Saturday, Nov. 7, Prof is at the Armory and Arch Enemy is at the Fillmore. Jack White follows on Sunday, Nov. 8 at the Armory. Taken together, that first weekend of November is the busiest of the run. Book early if your dates land there.
Where should you stay for a downtown concert?
300 Clifton is a historic Georgian mansion in Loring Park, a boutique B&B with distinct guest rooms such as the Crystal Mansion, the Georgian Room and the Grand Edwardian. After a show you can leave the car parked, and for the Armory and Fillmore the Metro Transit trip planner is the place to map the ride from Loring Park for your date and time.
The reason concert-goers book here is what happens after: the four-season garden hot tub under the stars, and the movie room with heated reclining seats for a late-night wind-down. If you book direct, check the vouchers page for the current dining and trolley perks.
A few tips for concert weekends
- Book the room first. Rooms are limited, and the Nov. 7–8 weekend has three big shows downtown.
- Check age rules. Most of the Armory shows above are all ages; Tape B is 18+.
- Confirm times on the venue site. Lineups and support acts shift, so use the Armory and Fillmore calendars as the source of truth.
- Planning a bigger trip? See our guides to the Wild’s December homestand and touring a historic Minneapolis mansion.
