The Saloon kicks off Pride weekend with night one of its three-day Pride Block Party on Hennepin Avenue. Friday's main-stage headliner is Zee Machine, the LA-based pop and electronic singer-songwriter and Berklee-trained multi-instrumentalist named one of The Advocate's 7 LGBTQ+ artists changing the game, hitting the stage at 9pm. The full Friday lineup also brings Sci-Fi, Scarlett, and DJ Danny Verde spinning into the early hours, running 9pm to 3am. The Block Party rolls all weekend at 830 Hennepin Ave, in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and steps from the Twin Cities Pride festival at Loring Park. Tickets at saloonmn.com.
