Alerus Partners with Mystic Lake Amphitheater to Launch Concert Series

TWIN CITIES, MINNESOTA (August 13, 2026) - Alerus today announced a new partnership with Mystic Lake Amphitheater, naming the company the exclusive partner of the venue's concert series, presented as the Alerus Concert Series, and presenting partner of the Vinyl Room, the amphitheater's premium hospitality lounge.

Opened in June, Mystic Lake Amphitheater marks a new chapter for live music in Minnesota. Overlooking the Minnesota River Valley, the 19,000-capacity amphitheater was purpose-built for live music, expanding the region's ability to host major touring artists. Its inaugural season includes more than 30 concerts, with performances by MGK, Bob Dylan, Jack Johnson, Hilary Duff, Chris Stapleton, Guns N' Roses, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Iron Maiden and more.

"Alerus has proudly served clients in the Twin Cities for 20 years, and this community market remains one of our most important areas of continued growth across our banking, wealth, and retirement and benefits businesses," Alerus President and CEO Katie O'Neill Lorenson said. "What attracted us to Mystic Lake Amphitheater is its ability to bring people together. Every day, we help individuals, families, businesses, and organizations achieve their financial goals and build stronger futures. The Alerus Concert Series gives us another opportunity to connect with the communities we serve, create memorable experiences for our clients and associates, and support a destination that is contributing to the economic vitality of the region. We're excited to be part of a venue that is quickly becoming a new summer tradition for the Twin Cities."

In addition to the concert series, Alerus will serve as presenting partner of the Vinyl Room, Mystic Lake Amphitheater's premium hospitality lounge. Inspired by the culture of Japanese listening lounges, the space extends the concert experience beyond the stage, offering fans a place to gather before the show, between sets and after the encore with chef-driven menus and DJs spinning vinyl.
