Soul Asylum + Gear Daddies to Headline Pryes Side Lot June 19 & 20

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 8 at 10am

Pryes Brewing Company, 1401 W River Road N, has announced the debut of Pryes Side Lot, a new outdoor event space adjacent to the brewery in NE Minneapolis. Launching June 19–20, the Side Lot will host two nights of live music, featuring Soul Asylum (Friday) with support from Agnes Uncaged, and Gear Daddies (Saturday) with support from Maygen & The Birdwatcher.

General Admission and VIP tickets will provide access to the main stage performances, timed to coincide with Pryes' annual Block Party celebration—offering a full day-to-night experience.

Now in its 9th year, the introduction of the Pryes Side Lot expands Pryes’ event footprint, creating a dedicated outdoor space for live music and special events for the community. The Pryes Side Lot will host the evening performances, while the brewery’s taproom and patio remain open throughout the day - serving food, beer, and additional programming as part of the broader Block Party experience. 

“This is the biggest Block Party we’ve ever put on. To bring artists like Soul Asylum and Gear Daddies to our stage is something we’re incredibly proud of - and just as important to us is making sure the event still feels open, welcoming, and rooted in community.” Mike Corneille, Co-Founder

Guests attending the concerts will have access to the Side Lot performance area, creating a natural flow from daytime activity into the evening shows. Additional Block Party programming will be announced soon.
