Minnesota Yacht Club Festival 2024: How To Get Tickets & More

by Em Casalena February 12, 2024, 4:22 pm

Who said the Land of 10,000 Lakes doesn’t have killer music festivals? This year, Minnesota’s own Minnesota Yacht Club Festival will be kicking off on Harriet Island for a two-day special event with a ton of top-notch headliners.

Videos by American Songwriter

Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette, and Red Hot Chili Peppers will be headlining the fest this year, with additional performances from The Black Crowes, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, The Head And The Heart, The Offspring, Hippo Campus, Morgan Wade, and more.

Festival Details

The fest will start on Friday, July 19 in St. Paul, Minnesota at Harriet Island Regional Park and come to a close on Saturday, July 20. Different artists will be performing on each day of the festival. Each day, the fest will start at 12:00 pm and close at 10:30 pm.

The festival’s showrunners have been promoting the fest on social media, with one post bringing attention to the multiple ticket options available this year. 

“Whether you’re seeking luxury or the ultimate party experience, we’ve got a ticket that suits your style! Scroll through and explore all the Premium options we have to offer with GA+, VIP, Riverboat VIP, and Platinum tickets 😎” said the Instagram post , accompanied by a series of graphics for each ticket option.

How to Get Tickets

General sale tickets have just gone live via the festival’s website after a very brief presale event. You can also get your hands on tickets through Ticketmaster and StubHub as well. If you can’t get tickets in time before they sell out, we always recommend StubHub as the best backup ticketing platform to get sold-out passes. Just keep in mind that your tickets may be higher or lower in price compared to face value.

There isn’t much to say about this upcoming fest, considering this is the inaugural event. But judging by the lineup, it seems to be a 1990s rock-focus event with a touch of nostalgia and some up-and-coming artists in the mix as well.

Minnesota Yacht Club is a unique music festival for a few reasons. Namely, can you think of any other music fest that offers paddleboat rides with private bar access? It’s a fancy fest with fancy upgrades, but those opting for general admission aren’t going to miss out, either. 

This festival is a hotspot for food and drink vendors across the state, so you can sample the best of the best from Minnesota. Harriet Island Regional Park is also quite stunning, so when you’re between bands, treat yourself to a walk through the cottonwood trees. The vibes are definitely solid.

The Minnesota Yacht Club is likely going to sell out fast , so now is the perfect time to get your hands on decently-priced tickets.

St. Paul summer music festival will draw Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more

By Caroline Cummings , Anthony Bettin

January 30, 2024 / 1:09 PM CST / CBS Minnesota

ST. PAUL, Minn.  — A new music festival in St. Paul this summer will draw heavy hitters from the '90s-era and end a drought of similar outdoor concert events in the capital city.

The Minnesota Yacht Club on July 19 and 20 at Harriet Island Park will include headliners Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who played the same space when Lollapalooza came through in 1992.

Tickets go on pre-sale Friday, Feb. 2. They range in price from $135 for a single ticket for one day and about $1400 for a VIP package  to attend both days of shows.  General admission for two days start at $215 before prices increase.

Organizers said the setting is the perfect site for a summer event in Minnesota, sitting along the Mississippi right next to downtown. The last time there was a music festival like it was River's Edge 12 years ago, which included Dave Matthews Band, The Flaming Lips and DJ Diplo.

"[The Twin Cities] is a major market in the U.S. it obviously has multiple professional sports team and has a handful of festivals but nothing that was like really next level so that was an opportunity for us,"  said Tim Sweetwood with C3 Presents, the production company putting on the show, told WCCO.

Hold Steady and Hippo Campus — two bands from the Twin Cities — are also scheduled to perform along with fellow Minnesota-native groups the Gully Boys and Soul Asylum.

Joe Spencer, president of the Saint Paul Downtown Alliance, said entertainment is the heartbeat of downtown as it rebounds from the pandemic. He's excited about the festival drawing thousands of people to the city who will support local businesses while they're here.

Different downtown events are bringing people back to pre-covid levels, he said.

"When we look at the data about who's coming back to downtown and in what volumes, it's our visitors coming for hockey games, concerts, plays, operas. That is what's really driving a ton of our traffic," Spencer explained.

"This is a fantastic win for downtown," he added.

C3 Presents also produces Austin City Limits Festival and Lollapalooza.

Here's the full lineup:

• Gwen Stefani
• Alanis Morissette
• The Black Crowes
• Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
• The Head and the Heart
• Morgan Wade
• Michigander
• Harbor and Home
• Red Hot Chili Peppers
• The Offspring
• Hippo Campus
• Gary Clark Jr.
• The Hold Steady
• Soul Asylum
• Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue

Minnesota Yacht Club Music Festival scheduled for next summer in St. Paul

Concert promoters behind several of the country’s top music festivals are making plans for a new event in the Twin Cities next summer.

The inaugural Minnesota Yacht Club Festival is scheduled to take place July 19-20 at Harriet Island Regional Park along the Mississippi River in St. Paul.

Organizers said the festival will feature “two days of world-class performances across two stages, curated local food vendors, historic riverboat rides and more underneath the giant cottonwoods of the park.”

Additional details — including the lineup and ticket information — are slated to be released next month.

The festival is being produced by C3 presents, which also produces Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and the Austin City Limits Music Festival, among many others.

“We are thrilled to host this exciting music festival presented by C3, a top-tier festival promoter, at Harriet Island Regional Park,” St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said in a news release announcing the event.

The arrival of the new festival comes in the wake of several other music events coming to an end in the Twin Cities in recent years, including Rock the Garden and Twin Cities Summer Jam. The Basilica Block Party has been canceled the past two years.

The Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, a new festival announced by event organizers C3, will take place at Harriet Island Park in St. Paul next summer. The festival will take place on July 19 and 20, 2024, but further information, including an artist lineup or ticket prices, has yet to be announced. 

The two-day festival will fill a gap left by local festivals such as the Basilica Block Party, canceled two years in a row, or Rock the Garden, permanently shuttered by its hosts. 

While the artist lineup is still unknown, C3 states on the festival’s website that concertgoers won’t be forced to move from stage to stage mid-set to catch all their favorites, promising “no schedule conflicts” across the 20 slated artists. The promoter is also behind other major festivals like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits.

The concerts will take place outdoors at Harriet Island Park across the two days, and will include local food vendors, historic riverboat rides, and more, per a news release from the city of St. Paul. “With the breathtaking Mississippi River as its backdrop, this two-day event promises stellar performances, delicious local cuisine, and an opportunity for both residents and visitors to relish our nationally-acclaimed park facilities,” St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said in the statement.

The festival has a text alert service set up on its website  for people interested in concert updates.

Who will play july's minnesota yacht club music fest strib staffers predict.

There is a ton of anticipation and speculation surrounding the lineup of the Twin Cities' newest summer music festival, Minnesota Yacht Club, taking place on Harriet Island in St. Paul July 19 and 20. Hosted by the organizers of established festivals like Chicago's Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, music fans are hoping Yacht Club will fill a void in summer festivities following the loss of similar events including the Basilica Block Party and Rock the Garden .

We asked regular concertgoers from around our newsroom who they predict will be on the festival's inaugural lineup. The charge: use your best journalistic capabilities and research who is currently touring, who has new music out, the feasibility with the scale of an inaugural festival — and when all else fails — vibes. Here's a look at some of our staff's lineup guesses.

Zoe Jackson , reporter

Qualifications : Attended between 25-30 shows annually over the last couple of years, clocked about 35,000 minutes of listening in 2023. Will cross state lines for concerts.

Predictions : Troye Sivan, Bully, Slow Pulp

Troye had a huge year with the release of his newest album following a five-year hiatus. There's yet to be a tour announcement so I'm betting on (hoping for) a big summer of festival appearances for him. Midwest shoegaze up-and-comers Slow Pulp appeared on a lot of best-of lists last year. I can see them continuing to build hype around their newest release — and Chicago is only a short drive away. I think there is a solid chance hometown hero Bully will grace us with an appearance on Harriet Island.

Anna Boone , digital designer

Qualifications : Saw more than 100 artists in the past two years. Dad is constantly asking when she will stop buying tickets and start "acquiring equity."

Predictions : Vampire Weekend, Arlo Parks, Joanna Sternberg

The NYC-based band Vampire Weekend recently showed up on the lineup for Utah's Kilby Block Party after a years-long hiatus from new music following their 2019 album Father of the Bride. If they are coming back in the festival circuit, no place better to listen to their breezy, boppy songs than outdoors near the water. Arlo Parks has been putting her time in on festival stages for years, including stopping by to join sets by Lorde and Phoebe Bridgers. She recently played the Current's Winter Warm-Up in December, and will be back in March for a headlining show at First Ave. What's one more stop in the Twin Cities? On the other hand, singer-songwriter Joanna Sternberg is skipping Minnesota on the tour for their sophomore album "I've Got Me" and there's no better way to make up for the missed connection than by coming back for an inaugural festival.

Eder Campuzano , reporter

Qualifications : Briefly co-DJ'ed the 4to-6 a.m. block of the University of Oregon's campus radio station in 2008 and spun all the pop-punk that was worth listening to. Also, three consecutive Warped Tours don't lie.

Predictions : Nur-D, Annie Mack, Limbeck

Hometown hero Nur-D's "All My Friends Are So Hot," "Zack and Kimberly" and "Georgia" off his most recent album, 2023′s "Crush," ooze with the kinds of summertime vibes we can all surely use after a mild, dreary winter. Annie Mack's discography, especially 2021′s "Testify" EP, would similarly delight those of us looking for a bluesy detour for the day. And although Limbeck is the only act in this reporter's predictions — OK, more like wishlist — that didn't originate from the North Star State, the band's pop-infused country offerings and steadfast support of our own Motion City Soundtrack fit the bill as snugly as a well-worn pair of boat shoes. (If you haven't heard their cover of Motion City's "Perfect Teeth," you haven't lived.)

Bryan Brussee , digital designer

Qualifications : Worked in digital marketing for Secretly Group, cited in Wikipedia's "Experimental rock" page, once saw Prince at Shinders.

Predictions : Motion City Soundtrack, MJ Lenderman, Kim Gordon

I've probably had more chances to see Motion City Soundtrack in the last 15 months than I've had in my entire life. If that pattern holds, I bet we'll see the pop punks emeriti in July. For the "big get," MJ Lenderman, an ascending talent in alt-country, feels like the moneyball pick. And to fill in the hole left by the defunct Rock the Garden festival, which frequently courted fans of legacy indie, I'm dreaming big and manifesting a performance from Kim Gordon.

Abby Sliva, digital features producer

Qualifications : Spends too much time online and in the social media fandom trenches.

Predictions : Alanis Morissette, Ber, Chappell Roan

Alanis announced an outdoor national tour earlier this year, skipping Minnesota and breaking my heart (with a curious tour break over the weekend of Yacht Club), so I'm hoping she graces us with an appearance; plus, she's just such a crowd pleaser. Nobody could be mad about it! Bemidji native Ber is opening for Lucius this week at First Avenue, and is making break-up songs for a new generation, so I could see her taking the stage at a much-anticipated local festival. Chappell Roan is one of the newer pop stars playing festivals this summer, so it would make sense the Midwest Princess herself would come to St. Paul for a romp.

Reid Forgrave , statewide reporter

Qualifications : Summer music festivals are my favorite thing. My first was Bonnaroo 2006; since then, I've been to 15-20, including Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bourbon and Beyond and others. Even with two kids, I try to go to at least 10 shows annually. We took our then-10-year-old to their first show this year — Taylor Swift — so I'm passing live music onto the next generation.

Predictions : Caroline Polachek, Run the Jewels, LCD Soundsystem

Not a prediction as much as trying to speak this into existence. Caroline Polachek put out one of the best albums I've heard in recent years, and I'm dying to see her. (Who cares that she doesn't currently have any upcoming concert dates?) I was supposed to see Run the Jewels in 2020, opening for Rage Against the Machine, and I mostly just wanted to see RTJ — but that concert was postponed, postponed again, then canceled. RTJ owes Minnesota an awesome show. And LCD Soundsystem is one of those bands I've been meaning to see for more than a decade. I would imagine they'd be a perfect Saturday night finale type of band.

Casey Darnell, audience engagement editor

Qualifications : I rode an e-bike two miles home after Beyonce's Minneapolis show last year.

Predictions : Red Hot Chili Peppers, Young the Giant, Lil Yachty

Although I would love to see Grimes come down the Mississippi River on a floating stage , my best bet is on the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They're criss-crossing the country this year, including Midwest stops in July, so a stop in St. Paul seems plausible. I'm also throwing in Young the Giant given their appearance at Atlanta's Shaky Knees Festival, organized by the same company as the Yacht Club. And how could you have a boat-themed name without an appearance by Lil Yachty himself?

Jake Steinberg, graphics reporter

Qualifications : Came of age during the Golden Era of Twin Cities music festivals. Spent my college years racking up wristbands from Rock the Garden, Eaux Claires and Soundset. Has seen Father John Misty perform four times.

Predictions : Hippo Campus, Trampled by Turtles, dad who listens to The Current

Let's be honest. When it comes to a local music festival, you know these three acts will be on the bill. Hippo Campus: You couldn't escape these guys if you were hitting the festival circuit back in the day. They were always on the side stage, so every trip to the beer line or a porta potty meant being assailed by their boyish croons and jangly yacht rock. As for their latest work, Wikipedia says "in an unexpected departure, Hippo Campus trades their indie-rock sound for a country sound." Visionary. Trampled by Turtles because, obviously. As for The Current dad, I have to admit I see myself more and more in him with each passing year. Yes, I too liked the Wednesday release this past year. Yes, Mitski is the new great American songwriter. Yes, I do miss Mark Wheat.

Christopher Vondracek, agriculture reporter

Qualifications : My mother is second-cousins with yacht rock king Christopher Cross. Also I can play "What a Fool Believes" on piano.

Predictions : Benny Sings, Goatroper, André 3000

The festival at Harriet Island Park drops just 10 days or so before this ag reporter heads west to dusty Farmfest, so the closest thing we might get to a refreshing midsummer dip in the pools of yacht rock would be Dutch piano man Benny Sings, who brings to mind those (recently schism'd) crooners Hall & Oates. Local alt-country band Goatroper throws a hootenanny, dive bar or Mississippi River festival. I swear, I really want to hear more plein-air flute music this summer.
