SHINEDOWN made their long awaited return to Minnesota last Monday at the Target Center in Minneapolis bringing their "Dance, Kid, Dance" Tour to town! SHINEDOWN brought BUSH and MORGAN WADE along on this leg of the tour along with all the pyro they could fit in the Target Center. SHINEDOWN impressed the crowd for their entire 2 hour set which brought the newest songs "Dance, Kid, Dance" and "Three Six Five" fitting in perfectly with classics like "Devour", "Enemies" and "Sound of Madness"! SHINEDOWN even threw in a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain" for good measure!

BUSH got the crowd fired up and ready to go playing a few of the new songs from their recently released album "I Bet Lonliness" along side the classics from "Sixteen Stone".

MORGAN WADE started off the night bringing a different vibe and made some new fans!
