The Armory runs a stacked four-night stretch right before Thanksgiving: an 18+ electronic event on Friday and Saturday, Sabaton on Sunday, November 22 and Underoath on Monday, November 23, 2026. All of it is in downtown Minneapolis, and you can do it without renting a car if you plan your stay right. Here’s how to get there from Oakland’s on 9th.
What’s on at the Armory, Nov. 20–23, 2026
- Fri., Nov. 20 and Sat., Nov. 21 — Tape B (Nights 1 and 2): presented by SIMshows, 18+, with doors and show listed at 9 p.m. Night 1 lists MERSIV, SAKA FLY, STVSH and CLAYBROOK; Night 2 lists TroyBoi, Taiki Nighlight and Wink.
- Sun., Nov. 22 — Sabaton: all ages, doors at 5:30 p.m., show at 7 p.m., with Pop Evil and Wings of Steel (Armory listing).
- Mon., Nov. 23 — Underoath: all ages, doors at 5:30 p.m., show at 6:30 p.m., with August Burns Red, Atreyu and As Cities Burn (Armory listing).

Can you get from Oakland’s on 9th to the Armory without a car?
Oakland’s on 9th is at 215 South 9th Street, and the Armory is at 500 South 6th Street — both in downtown Minneapolis. Pull up a walking route in your maps app and you’ll see the distance for yourself; in a Minnesota November, you may prefer a short rideshare or a Metro Transit route, which you can map with the Metro Transit trip planner. We’re one block from the skyway (we’re not directly connected, so you do walk that block outside), which helps if you’re heading elsewhere downtown during the day.
Why a studio beats a hotel for a four-night run
If you’re coming for more than one of these nights — or building a long Thanksgiving week around them — a furnished studio with a full kitchen is more comfortable than a hotel room. Every studio at Oakland’s on 9th is fully furnished with WiFi, utilities, heat and free laundry included, and there are no contracts: book a night, a week or a month. Some units are pet friendly.
The building is a restored 1889 brownstone in the heart of downtown, close to the Armory, U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Center and Target Field.
