Live Music with Drink 182 & Some Sh***y Cover Band | Stillwater Winterfest 2026
Presented by One23 Events at JX Event Venue Stillwater, MN
Cold temps, hot tunes. Stillwater Winterfest 2026 brings two powerhouse live acts to keep the music—and the energy—going all night. 📅 Friday, February 20th, 2026 🎶 8:30 PM - Drink 182 🎶 10:30 PM - Some Sh***y Cover Band 📍 JX Venue ABOUT DRINK 182: The 90's were strange times in the world of music. Alternative bands roamed the Earth in flannels and Vans, while hip-hop groups wore giant Adidas and tracksuits. Also, boy bands were a thing. We know it's hard to remember who sang what. Toad the Wet Ezras? Hootie and the Gin Blossoms? Rage Against the Backstreet Boys? We get it. BUT… we like the 90's. You like the 90's. Why don’t we get together and play some 90's music? It’s about time. ABOUT SOME SHITTY COVER BAND: Some Shitty Cover Band brings together 4 members of successful original bands Quietdrive, Take Cover, and The Usual Things, to inject life back into what has become a stale and uninteresting arena of live music -- covers. With an exciting show, and a no-frills, explosive stage performance, SSCB draws on experience from thousands of cumulative shows, tours, and hard-won fans in their original acts, to rise above the monotony of the Minneapolis cover band scene.
