Blow the roof off Walker without Walls and join us for our 5th Rock the Garden street party, featuring David Byrne with the Tosca Strings. Setting the mood for the summer’s first outdoor concert event is the bulletproof funk of the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and other special guests. Take in more than 40 artworks in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and a new installation by Rudolf Stingel in the lobby. Refresh yourself with beer, soda, brats, and veggies while you enjoy the summer’s first outdoor concert event. The party starts at 4 pm, and we expect a sell-out. Purchase tickets today and save!
