Last year's stirring twofer concert with Alabama Shakes and Father John Misty introduced music lovers to a large, flat patch of land along Minneapolis' underutilized riverfront called Hall's Island, which isn't really an island and isn't all that special, except: a) It offers a gorgeous view of the downtown skyline, and b) it isn't a parking lot. Hall's Island will again play host to a stellar live band, Wilco, on Aug. 20 (tickets at first-avenue.com), and the neighboring Boom Island will serve as temporary home for the popular Rock the Garden concert on June 19. Both sites are easy to get to via public transit or bike, and there are plenty of pre- and post-show hangouts nearby to make it a rocking night out.
