Yes. Unwrapped: An Acoustic Holiday is Thursday, Dec. 3, 2026 at Target Center, 600 First Avenue North, and a downtown studio at Oakland’s on 9th puts you in the same part of Minneapolis as the arena. Showtime is 7 p.m., doors open at 6 p.m., and tickets are on sale now. If you want to leave the car parked for the week (or never bring one), here is how the night works.
What is Unwrapped: An Acoustic Holiday?
Target Center lists the show as a 93X Presents event with rare acoustic performances by Brent Smith and Zach Myers of Shinedown, Ice Nine Kills, Zakk Wylde and Dario Lorina of Black Label Society, The Warning, The Funeral Portrait, Return to Dust and Letdown. The arena bills it as “One Night. One Stage. Never to Be Repeated.” Check the official event page for the current lineup and ticket links before you plan around any single act.
How do you get to Target Center from Oakland’s on 9th without a car?
Oakland’s on 9th is at 215 South 9th Street, in the middle of downtown. It is one block from the skyway, but it is not connected to it, so you walk a block outside to get on. Our guide to how the Minneapolis skyway works covers hours, entrances and event-night routes, which matters in December when you would rather skip the wind. For the live bus or rail options that evening, use the Metro Transit trip planner, and for the general picture see getting around downtown without a car.
If you do drive, Target Center’s parking page lists the arena’s options. Doors at 6 p.m. also gives you time for dinner nearby and a calm walk over instead of racing to find a spot.
Why a furnished studio works for a December concert trip
Oakland’s on 9th is a restored 1889 brownstone with fully furnished studios, full kitchens, WiFi, utilities, heat and free laundry included. There are no contracts, so you can book a night, a week or a month. That is handy if the concert is one stop on a longer trip: a few days of work in town, a medical stay, or a holiday visit with family nearby. A winter evening is also easier when you can warm up something in your own kitchen before heading out, then come back to a quiet room instead of a hotel lobby.
More at Target Center this season
Dec. 3 is one of several big nights at the arena. We wrote up Globetrotters, Dancing with the Stars and Greta Van Fleet for early 2027 and Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Dec. 27; the Timberwolves are also home through the month, per Target Center’s schedule.
Book your downtown stay
Dec. 3 is a Thursday, so a Wednesday-to-Friday stay or a longer one both work. Book Oakland’s on 9th online, or call (612) 314-5124 and tell us what dates you need.
