Recently, Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota, announced that Journey would be bringing their Final Frontier tour to the venue. Now, another concert has been added for October.

The Smashing Pumpkins are bringing their ambitious new Rats In A Cage Tour to Minnesota this fall, with a stop at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.

The tour is one of the most ambitious live productions the GRAMMY Award-winning rock band has ever mounted. The show features two distinct sets: one dedicated entirely to the 30th anniversary of their landmark 1995 RIAA Diamond-certified album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and a second set spanning nearly four decades of hits, deep cuts, and fan favorites.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Thursday, May 21, at 10 a.m. As you can see below, this show is another addition to what is already an impressive concert lineup at Grand Casino.

Every Concert Coming (So Far) To Grand Casino Arena In St. Paul, Minnesota

For years, Minnesota music and Minnesota Wild fans knew the downtown St. Paul Arena as the Xcel Energy Center. It had become one of the most beloved concert venues in the upper Midwest.

After a name change, the building at 199 West Kellogg Boulevard is now known as Grand Casino Arena. However, one thing hasn't changed at all: the arena's ability to attract world-class performers and deliver unforgettable nights for fans across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The 2026 lineup currently booked at Grand Casino Arena is loaded, spanning rock, pop, country, R&B, and classic hits from some of the most legendary names in music. There's even a huge pop star already confirmed for 2027!

Whether you're planning a summer night out or looking ahead to fall, or even the Holiday season, there's something on this schedule worth circling.
