Come for the basketball, stay for the live music this weekend in Minneapolis

With the Final Four coming to Minneapolis this weekend, the focus will be on basketball — but music fans will have something to celebrate, too.

Big-ticket acts like Katy Perry, the Jonas Brothers and the Chainsmokers will all perform free shows at the Minneapolis Armory. Tickets for those concerts have been snapped up, but there will be free unticketed outdoor performances and events all weekend on the Nicollet Mall.
