Xcel Energy Center consumed with Republican National Convention in September
The upcoming Xcel Energy Center schedule is focused around the Republican National Convention and getting ready for the RNC. Most of August and through the RC event dates of Sept 1-4 there are no concerts to be seen at the X. This seems unusual to Minnesota music fans since the hot summer concert series at the Xcel Energy Center is something to look forward to. Of course, it is an honor to host a national party convention and it will bring a lot of dollars into the state. The Xcel will look a bit different on TV after the RNC renovations, but I know hosting the convention is a win for the venue regardless of which party you support.

Xcel Energy Center George Michael and Neil Diamond in July
The Xcel Energy Center will host two big performers the month of July. First will be George Michael and his 25 Live tour on Monday, July 7th. George Michael will be treating fans to new music and of course the old favorites. He has a unique stage layout and the Xcel Energy Center seating chart indicates Floor row 3 is actually the first row of chairs. It looks like there will probably be a pit of some sort so I would recommend a good lower level section for this show. Ticket King has 102, row 15 and those would be perfect for this show.
George Michael Tickets
The second performer to hit the Xcel Energy Center in July is none other than Neil Diamond on July 19th and 20th. This two show event is sure to bring a lot of Neil Diamond fans to St Paul. With a four-decade long career that has seen more than 125 million records sold worldwide, Neil Diamond is a legendary performer. Everyone knows the song “Sweet Caroline” and you can bet there will be thousands singing along at the Xcel Energy Center. Neil Diamond also has a unique stage set-up that looks like he will have two small wing sections on either side of the stage. This leads me to believe that he will have a center section that juts out a bit and will give fans a great opportunity to see this old crooner at work.

New Kids on the Block and Boy Band Revival
Although it is quite a few days away, the Xcel Energy Center is getting ready for a huge comeback. The New Kids on the Block are making their way back to Minnesota for the fist time in a long time. Could the New Kids on the Block be as big as Hannah Montana at the Target Center last year on the same day, October 21st? Doubtful. Even with their new song, “Summertime,” the New Kids concert tour hasn't created the same buzz as Hannah Montana.
If you can't see the New Kids, don't worry because there are plenty of boy band revivals happening in the Twin Cities. The Backstreet Boys will be performing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on August 23rd. The questions will be, which boy band one will sell more tickets? New Kids on the Block or the Backstreet Boys? It's a good old fashioned battle of the boy bands. Buy your tickets today!

Walking with Dinosaurs Hits Xcel Energy Center
It’s not too late to buy Walking with Dinosaurs tickets. The Xcel Energy Center show is touted as one of the best shows of its kind with humungous lifelike prehistoric creatures roaming the stage. There are over a dozen re-creations of ancient reptiles that roam the stage with remarkable realism. Ten large dinosaurs and five small ones are set in motion by experienced puppeteers and radio control. Adults and children alike will be wowed at the remarkable special effects. Don’t pass up this once in a lifetime educational show!

R.E.M. Have Still Got It!
R.E.M played at the Xcel Energy Center last Thursday. I went to the show with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the performances that night. First of all, my Xcel Energy Center ticket for this show was amazing, Floor R row 9! Some people think that being off to the left or right no the main floor isn't a great seat, but I had a great view of the stage and the bands. Take a look at some of my pictures from this show, they're amazing!!!
Here is one of the opening bands, Modest Mouse:
And REM:
All in all REM played a really good set. REM played a lot of selections from their new album, as well as fan favorites like "Fall on Me" (my favorite one of the night) and they closed the show with "Man on the Moon."
As usual Michael Stipe's banter was politically charged inbetween almost every song. He praised Obama and declared that he would be voting for him this November.
To me though, Modest Mouse stole the show. They didn't play any of their 'hits' like "Float on" and "The Ocean Breathes Salty" they stuck to fans only favorites like "Satin in a Coffin" and "Bury Me With It"
Next time REM comes to town be sure to get your Xcel Energy Center tickets fast, because the show was only a half house concert making less tickets for such a fun show!

Walking with Dinosaurs Xcel Energy Center
I had my friend Mary write a post about Walking with the Dinosaurs at Xcel Energy Center. Thanks Mary!
I remember being about 10 years old and hiding under my seat while in the theatres watching Jurassic Park. It’s safe to say that animated, fully-functioning dinosaurs are a lot scarier than reading about them in text books. I have always thought dinosaurs were interesting, and even considered paleontology as a major, but once I figured out that I’d be in the desert all day, digging in the heat, I wasn’t too stoked.
Walking with Dinosaurs seems like it would be a lot like Jurassic Park; minus the ravenous, blood-thirsty reptiles (and Jeff Goldblum) and more like a really cool museum exhibit that’s been brought to life. Originally, Walking with Dinosaurs was a BBC documentary series that won numerous awards and became popular in the United States when it debuted on the Discovery Channel. The show has done extremely well, as it should, considering it costs about $9.4 million to put together. When it was announced that the show would be coming to the Xcel Energy Center St Paul, many Minnesota residents scooped up Walking with the Dinosaurs tickets. I would be interested in sitting close and center because I’ve heard the detail of the dinosaurs is excellent and other reviews say the plant-life they use for scenery is realistic. If you want great seats, check out local ticket brokers like Ticket King St Paul. With an office right by the Xcel Energy Center, Ticket King is convenient for picking up tickets and since they are local, the prices are reasonable and you are supporting a locally run business.
