Dave Chappelle February 16, 2026

Dave Chappelle is "pulling up" on the Twin Cities to stand with a community at the center of events that should unite all Americans in defense of civil rights, human dignity, and the principles we claim to hold sacred.

Chappelle's decision to perform in Minnesota exemplifies his decades-long commitment to showing up for communities in crisis and using comedy as a force for connection and solidarity. His presence represents more than entertainment; it's a statement of respect, unity, and unwavering support for the region's residents. The people of Minneapolis and Saint Paul have stood up with remarkable courage and resilience, demanding accountability and justice in the face of extraordinary circumstances.

The performance will take place on Monday, February 16 at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, with tickets going on sale tomorrow Tuesday, February 3 at 12 p.m. at Ticketmaster.com. The show is produced by Live Nation.

This is Chappelle's second performance at Grand Casino Arena. His first was September 23, 2023, which holds the arena record for highest attendance of a single night comedy show.

Internationally recognized for his trademark wit, fearless social commentary, and no-holds-barred approach, Chappelle has reshaped comedy by fearlessly tackling complex social issues while breaking industry records for both television and stand-up specials – delivering the kind of clever wit and piercing insight that only comes from a master of the craft.
