Black Stone Cherry squeeze into Bigs Bar on Tuesday, Nov. 17

The Kentucky rock band plays a 300-capacity Sioux Falls room in the middle of a Midwest run, fresh off a fall overseas.

Three hundred people. That's how many Bigs Bar holds, and on Tuesday, Nov. 17, it will hold a band that spent this fall headlining halls across Europe.

Black Stone Cherry plays Bigs Bar in Sioux Falls on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 to $40 through Eventbrite. The show sits in the middle of a Midwest swing: Flint and the Tri-Cities on Nov. 12, the Chicago suburbs and Northwest Indiana on Nov. 14, Minneapolis–St. Paul on Nov. 16, then Sioux Falls, followed by Omaha on Nov. 18, St. Louis on Nov. 20 and Birmingham on Nov. 21.

It's a striking change of scale. In September the band was across the Atlantic on The Celebrate Tour, with 10 Years supporting, playing rooms like Huxley's Neue Welt in Berlin, the Backstage Werk in Munich and the Batschkapp in Frankfurt. The band also announced an "An Evening With…" tour of the UK for autumn 2026, built around a first set of their 2006 self-titled debut played in full, with newer material in the second set.

The new music in the picture is *Celebrate*, an EP that was announced for a March 6 release on Mascot Records, and which gave that European run its name.

So what does that mean for a Tuesday in Sioux Falls? It means a band with two decades of records behind it, playing a room where nobody is more than a few steps from the stage. Black Stone Cherry are a metal-leaning rock band, all big riffs and bigger choruses, and that kind of sound hits differently when the ceiling is low and the crowd is packed in shoulder to shoulder. Whatever the set list looks like, a 300-person room puts you closer to it than most of the band's audiences overseas got this fall.

Bigs Bar has carved out a spot in Sioux Falls for exactly this kind of booking. Its recent calendar has run from rock acts like 12 Stones to touring country and Americana names, the kind of mid-sized tours that might otherwise skip the city on the way between Minneapolis and Omaha. Black Stone Cherry's route is a textbook example: the Twin Cities the night before, Omaha the night after, and Sioux Falls in between.

A few things to know before you go. It's a 7 p.m. show on a weeknight, so plan on getting there early if you care about where you stand. The price tops out at $40, which is a small number for a band at this level. And with a capacity of 300, this is not a show where you can count on walking up at the door. If you've been meaning to see Black Stone Cherry, it's hard to picture a better setup.

A band that spent the fall in Europe's halls, in a room where nobody is more than a few steps from the stage.

Tuesday night, West Side, loud. Get your ticket.
