Alison Krauss & Union Station @ Scheels Arena

Bell Bank Leads Effort to Preserve Alison Krauss & Union Station Concert, Relocating Show to SCHEELS Arena
FARGO, N.D. – Bell Bank, in conjunction with SCHEELS Arena and the Bluestem Amphitheatre announced on Friday, June 5 that the Alison Krauss & Union Station concert originally scheduled for Bluestem Amphitheatre on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, will be relocated to SCHEELS Arena with all previously issued tickets remaining valid for entry.
Following the closure of Jade Presents on May 28, SCHEELS Arena, with support from Bell Bank, has worked to ensure the Alison Krauss & Union Station performance originally scheduled for June 16, 2026, at Bluestem Amphitheatre will continue as planned. Through rapid collaboration between SCHEELS Arena, Bell Bank, and production partners, SCHEELS Arena was secured as the new home for the event, ensuring the concert remains intact for fans and maintaining a high-quality experience for attendees.
“Ultimately, our goal was to make sure this performance still happens for the community and to protect the fans who paid for tickets with their hard-earned money,” said Julie Peterson Klein, Bell Bank Chief of Staff. “We worked closely with our partners to move quickly and responsibly so fans don’t miss out on a fun night of live music.”
SCHEELS Arena will now host the performance on the originally scheduled date of June 16. THERE IS NO NEED TO RE-PURCHASE TICKETS IF YOU ALREADY BOUGHT THEM ON ETIX. Existing Etix tickets will be transferred to Ticketmaster, and new Ticketmaster tickets will be issued to existing purchasers prior to the event. Only the newly issued Ticketmaster tickets will be valid for entry; original Etix tickets will be void and will not be accepted. More details will be shared directly with ticket holders through official venue communications. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:00 p.m.
“Thanks to the leadership and support of Bell Bank, we were able to move quickly to ensure this event could still happen,” said Jon Kram, General Manager at SCHEELS Arena. “Our focus is delivering a seamless experience for fans and honoring the artists, partners and production teams involved.”
SCHEELS Arena extends its appreciation to Valley News Live for their proactive partnership in providing marketing support and assisting in communicating these updates to the public. This transition reflects a shared commitment among regional partners to ensure live entertainment remains accessible and uninterrupted for the Fargo-Moorhead community.
