B.B. King

Even though he's performing on Saturday in Minneapolis with Buddy Guy, B.B. King is putting tickets on sale at noon Friday for his return gig, Nov. 12, at the State Theatre.

No Buddy Guy for the reprise engagement. And ticket prices top out at $63 (plus fees), compared to $125 for Saturday's gig at the Orpheum.

Mystic Lake Casino has announced two shows: Natalie Cole on May 9 (Mother's Day) and Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons returning on July 24. Cole tickets, priced from $42 to $69, will go on sale March 13. Valli tickets, at $49 and $62, will go on sale May 8.

Longtime Twin Cities favorite Jonny Lang returns to the area where he launched his career on July 10 for the Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival in Prior Lake. More details on this outdoor event will be announced later.
