Target Center has a big November coming. Four very different shows, a week and a half apart, all headed to the arena at 600 First Avenue North. If you’re coming in from out of town for any of them, the question is the same: where do you sleep? Here is the lineup as Target Center lists it right now, plus a historic Loring Park mansion to make it a weekend instead of a commute.
Which concerts are at Target Center in November 2026?
These dates come straight from the Target Center events calendar, which is the place to confirm times and buy tickets:
- Sunday, November 1 — sombr, with special guests The Last Dinner Party and Hannah Jadagu.
- Saturday, November 7 — KATSEYE.
- Tuesday, November 10 — Motionless In White, with special guests Dayseeker, The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine.
- Sunday, November 15 — MercyMe, with special guests Jeremy Camp and Tim Timmons + Sam Wesley.
Door times vary by show, and Target Center says so on its arena policies and FAQ page, so check the specific event page before you plan dinner. The Timberwolves are also home on Monday, November 2 and Sunday, November 8, which means the KATSEYE Saturday is followed by a basketball Sunday. If you want a long weekend in the middle of it, the 7th-to-8th is the one.
Why does the November 7 weekend need a plan?
An arena night puts thousands of people into downtown at once, so rooms and rides get scarce. The weekend of November 7–8 is the one to book early: a Saturday-night KATSEYE show, then an NBA game the next afternoon or evening. Book a room before the weekend fills and you can arrive Friday, spend Saturday at Mia or the Walker, see the show, and sleep in without watching the clock.
What should you know before you go to Target Center?
- Bags are small. Target Center’s policy permits bags no larger than 5″ x 9″, plus diaper and medical bags (subject to search on entry). Leave the tote in your room.
- No strollers inside. The arena’s FAQ says strollers are not permitted, which matters for the MercyMe family crowd.
- Getting there. We’re in Loring Park, about a rideshare away from the arena. Use the Metro Transit trip planner for a bus or light-rail route for your date and time, and see the arena’s Getting Here page for drop-off and parking.
Why stay at 300 Clifton instead of a hotel near the arena?
300 Clifton is the 1887 Eugene J. Carpenter Mansion on the edge of Loring Park, with distinct guest rooms rather than a corridor of identical doors. Pick the Crystal Mansion or the Grand Edwardian and your concert weekend starts with a carved fireplace instead of an elevator.
The after-show part is the real reason to stay with us. The four-season garden hot tub is a good place to let your ears ring down, and the haunted movie room with heated recliners is where the night can continue if the band has you too wired to sleep. Packages and add-ons are on the specials and packages page, and our vouchers page lists the current direct-booking perks, including a Minneapolis Trolley voucher. Guest parking is covered in our post on where to park at 300 Clifton.
What else is on that fall calendar?
November is stacked. If a Vikings game is part of your trip, we covered the Monday Night Football homestand, and our guide to the Minnesota Wild weekend shows how we think about stacking events. Want a second night? The Minneapolis Trolley Tours ghost tours leave from the Pillsbury Club mansion, and for a longer month-to-month stay, our sister property Oakland’s on 9th offers furnished studios downtown.
Ready to pick your room? Book direct at 300 Clifton and we’ll save you a quiet corner of Loring Park for the loud night out.
