The Last Revel set an April Thursday at HI-FI

The Minneapolis Americana band, touring behind its Dave Simonett-produced album Gone for Good, plays the 400-capacity Fountain Square room on April 22, 2027.

Spring in Indianapolis now has a string-band night on it. The Last Revel play HI-FI on Thursday, April 22, 2027, at 8pm. Tickets are $18 to $20 through Tixr, and the date was announced on October 20.

That's an easy price for a band with this much road behind it. The Last Revel are a Minneapolis Americana and indie-folk band, and the record they're carrying is Gone for Good, their sixth album, released on July 18, 2025, through Thirty Tigers. It was produced by Dave Simonett of Trampled by Turtles, a pairing that makes sense for a Minnesota band working in the space where folk, bluegrass instrumentation and rock-sized energy meet. The album has 10 original songs.

It's also the second chapter of a comeback. Before Gone for Good, the band made Dovetail, a 2023 reunion record they produced themselves and released on their own label, Sheep Sheep Records. Two albums in three years, the second one with an outside producer and a bigger label behind it, is the sign of a band that came back with intent rather than for one victory lap.

Fast and acoustic-driven is one of the gears they work in. When they released the single "Go On" ahead of the album, Whiskey Riff called it "fast-grass" and a must-hear, a fair shorthand for the kind of song that gets a room moving even without a drum kit pushing it.

Two albums in three years is the sign of a band that came back with intent.

The band has spent 2026 on the road rather than in the studio. Their year has included a Saint Paul show at Harriet Island Regional Park in July, and a fall run through the West. Back home in the Midwest, a Fox 11 story tied a Green Bay return to both the new album and a 10-year milestone, a reminder of how long they've been building a regional following one room at a time.

HI-FI holds 400, which is the right size for a band like this: big enough for a real Thursday-night crowd, small enough that a string band doesn't need to fight the room to be heard. For an Indianapolis audience, it's a chance to see a band that's working its way up the Midwest circuit at club scale.

What to know before you go: it's a Thursday 8pm show, so it's a work-night outing, and the ticket price range suggests the cheaper tier goes first. If you're interested, buying early is the cheapest way in.

April is a long way off. But a band this committed to the road, at this price, in a room this size, is the kind of night that's easy to put on the calendar now and glad to have later.
