After headlining last summer's We Fest in Detroit Lakes, country star Dierks Bentley is headed back to Minnesota for an outdoor gig May 27 at Treasure Island Casino Amphitheater in Welch.
The voice behind 17 No. 1 country hits including "What Was I Thinkin'" and "Drunk on a Plane," Bentley will bring his Beers on Me Tour to Treasure Island on Memorial Day weekend with Ashley McBryde of "One Night Standards" fame. Winner of the CMA Award for best new artist in 2019, she performed at the Fillmore Minneapolis in December.
Bentley, who last performed in the Twin Cities at the State Fair in 2019, is the second show announced thus far for Treasure Island Amphitheater. Sam Hunt and Ryan Hurd are set for July 8.
Bentley tickets, priced from $42.50 to $110, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at ticasino.com.
The summer concert schedule is starting to take shape for country fans. The Winstock festival has booked Jake Owen and Tim McGraw for June 17-18 in Winsted, Minn. We Fest headliners for Aug. 4-6 are Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan.
In Wisconsin, Country Jam in Eau Claire will star Cody Johnson, Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch (July 21-23) and Country Fest in Cadott will feature Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Lee Brice (June 23-25).
Twin Cities Summer Jam, set for July 21-23 in Shakopee, promises to reveal its lineup on Feb. 21. The State Fair and Mystic Lake Casino amphitheater have not announced any 2022 concerts yet.
