Minnesota is known for its harsher winters, but our summers here are perfect. If there’s one thing that I love to do in summer, it’s going to see live music outside. TC Summer Fest is an outdoor music concert held at Target Field where the Minnesota Twins play. On Friday, The Killers were the headliner and on Saturday, Imagine Dragons was playing. My husband went to both concerts while I only went to see Imagine Dragons. I don’t know every Imagine Dragons song and I wouldn’t say I’m their biggest fan, but they put on a great show.

The fun part about TC Summer Fest was that there was live music playing all day. While many chose to show up for Imagine Dragons only, there were other acts going on throughout the day. One of our friends was looking forward to seeing Talk who I knew nothing about. If I had to gauge my favorite act (besides Imagine Dragons), I think it would have to be Chelsea Cutler. I knew nothing about her before her act, but I felt she was vibing with the crowd.

Imagine Dragons took the stage at 9:40 PM ish. I completely forgot how many songs Imagine Dragons has. They played most of their well-known songs with a few songs I had never heard of before. The crowd was energized and looking around the stadium, people held up their phones with their flashlights on. It was cool to see a sea of white light during the set.

It’s funny, I didn’t take that many pictures throughout the concert. I know a few people nearby us would record the concert, but I tend not to do that. I would rather enjoy the concert in real-time and I find when I record it, I don’t actually end up re-watching it. Plus the audio is nowhere near as good as being at the venue, so what’s the point.

I haven’t been to a concert in a while, so I was reminded of how much I enjoy being around friends and listening to good music.
