Mill City Nights (formerly known as The Brick) was a concert venue located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota with a capacity of about 1200[1] that opened in 2012 and was operated by AEG Live.[2]

It has no affiliation with the Mill City Museum or Mill City Live. Many national acts that are too small to pack an entire stadium come to Mill City Nights, including Cole Swindell,[3] Eric Paslay,[4] and Dan + Shay. [5]

The venue had a partnership with AXS TV and several concerts were featured on AXSLive.[6] The first act was Seether who performed on October 16, 2012.[6][7]

The venue went out of business and closed it doors permanently on November 30, 2016[8] citing high cost of rent as a reason.[1] AEG is no longer operating the venue but there are reports of it reopening as MPLS Music Hall.[9]


Bars

There were three full service bars located in Mill City Nights, with one being located on each level. The featured bar is The Nether Bar which is located in the basement. The Nether Bar can in itself be a separate venue featuring live music for local up and coming bands or can be used as a place for ticket holders to grab drinks before and after shows in the main room.[10]

MPLS Music Hall

In December of 2016, speculation ran wild as two acts were billed to appear at a mysterious new venue.[11] It began its first major run of shows in September of 2017, as Damian Marley took the stage.[12]
