Treasure Island announces first multi-day festival

28 January 2025

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Music by the Mississippi is returning to Treasure Island Resort & Casino for a second year with huge acts, a second day added and more fun for a good cause next summer.

Treasure Island's first multi-day festival –– and one of the only in Minnesota –– is coming to the Treasure Island Amphitheater on Friday and Saturday, 26 and 26 July.

Following an extremely successful inaugural year, acts were reaching out to Treasure Island looking to perform at Music by the Mississippi, cementing the festival as an exciting opportunity for fans and artists alike.

The festival began as a celebration of the Midwest's storied music scene and has continued that sentiment while adding national touring acts and rising stars that tap into the nation-sweeping Americana and red dirt country genres.

Two-day (full-festival) tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, January 31 and will be available for purchase at TIcasino.com. Two-day tickets will start at just $40 and Michelob ULTRA Zone tickets –– including FREE food and private bars, restrooms and elevated viewing areas –– will be available for $258.

Single-day tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, 4 March.
