They say everything tastes better on vacation, but have you ever drank a fresh Furious at Festival Field? There’s something special about live music outdoors in Minnesota, especially when it comes to shows hosted in at Surly Brewing.
Since opening its gates, Festival Field has become one of the state’s most celebrated places to catch live music outdoors, earning accolades as one of the best outdoor concert experiences in Minnesota. It’s not hard to see why. The expansive open air venue offers excellent sightlines, powerful sound, and a laid back energy that feels both massive and personal at the same time.
Over the years, Festival Field has hosted an impressive roster of artists from around the globe. From indie icons and rising stadium performers with a wide range in music genres, our stage has welcomed performers like Ween, Charlie Crockett, Cake, Sierra Ferrell, Billy Strings, Tame Impala and countless others, each bringing their own unforgettable night to the Minneapolis summer calendar.
But Festival Field isn’t just about the music, it’s about the full experience, that’s what makes our venue unique and sets us apart. Surly Brewing’s entire food program is made in-house, offering something for every appetite. Whether you’re digging into big, hearty bowls, grabbing a burrito between sets, tearing into a smoked BBQ sandwich, or sharing a tray of loaded nachos with friends, the food holds its own alongside the headliner.
Behind the bar, you’ll find Surly’s local craft beer poured fresh, alongside experimental cocktails and a selection of Surly branded THC beverages giving guests plenty of ways to raise a glass as the night unfolds.
And then there’s that moment, the one that keeps people coming back year after year. The band hits their stride, the crowd locks in, and the sun sets behind you, washing festival field in that infamous golden hour. Music, beer, food, friends, and the open sky all coming together at once.
That’s Festival Field at Surly Brewing. Not just a venue, but a modern day Minnesota summer tradition. Join us for the Summer of Beer.
